2012 Formula One World Championship
Let’s set the grid for the 2012 Formula One World Championship season: 12 teams, 25 drivers, and 20 races in 19 different countries. With Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing winning the last two Drivers and Constructors Championships and 6 world champions on the grid, this season is set to be a high-adrenaline race to the top of the podium. Will history repeat itself with Red Bull reigning supreme or will another challenger rise to the top…. only you can decide.

Jessica St. Jean is a Freshman, studying environmental science and International Relations. She is from Massachusetts, and has been doing Model UN since her freshman year of High School. Outside of UMUNC, Jessica can be found cooking with the Easton Baking Club, napping, or just walking around campus. For this Formula 1 crisis committee, Jessica is ecstatic to see what delegates bring to the table to handle this delicate situation.
Ava Rowledge is a freshman, studying International Relations with a focus on Economics and International Business. She is from Charles County, Maryland. This is her first year participating in Model United Nations in college! Outside of UMUNC, Ava is a member of UMD's Pre-Law Fraternity and the Honors Global Challenges and Solutions Honors College. When she is not in Model UN, you can find her with friends, exploring D.C., binge-watching Gilmore Girls for the sixth time, or watching Formula 1 (Go Ferrari!). For this F1 Committee, Ava is excited to see delegates engage with one of her favorite sports.
Antonia Mavrakis is a sophomore studying Finance at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business. She’s been involved in Model UN for six years and served as the Co-Crisis Director for the Wreck-It Ralph committee at UMUNC VI. When she’s not planning logistics for Terp Thon or working with Student Entertainment Events, you can probably find her reading in the library, chefing up something spontaneous, or trying out a new bit at a stand-up show. She loves bringing a touch of whimsy to everything she does (especially crisis)! In this year’s Formula 1 committee, Antonia is revved up to see how delegates steer their way through the twists and turns of debate!
