If you’ve heard of F1 Academy but aren’t quite sure where it fits into the world of Formula 1, let’s break it down.
F1 Academy launched in 2023 as a series designed to develop and prepare female drivers for the next levels of single-seater racing. It’s built around giving young drivers more opportunities for racing, testing, and technical, physical, and mental development as they work their way through the Road to F1.
And it’s not simply about putting women in race cars. The series is designed to help create a stronger pathway into higher levels of motorsport, while giving these drivers more visibility and experience along the way.
In this episode of F1 Basics From a Beginner, I’m breaking down what F1 Academy is, how the series works, and why it matters to the future of motorsport.
The more I’ve learned about F1 Academy, the more I’ve realized how important it is to understand the pathways that exist before Formula 1. Because getting to the top isn’t just about talent. It’s also about access, experience, opportunity, and having a place to develop. 🏁
