LIA BLOCK Lands Major Rockstar Energy Deal Heading Into F1 Academy Season 2

March 4, 2025

• LIA BLOCK just landed a major career milestone with Rockstar Energy signing her as an athlete partner heading into her second F1 Academy season with Williams Racing. The 18-year-old daughter of rally legend Ken Block calls it “a really big step” and credits Rockstar’s support of women athletes across motorsports – a brand backing that actually matters when you’re climbing the ladder.
• Her rookie F1 Academy season was admittedly like “being thrown off the deep end” transitioning from rally to single-seaters, but BLOCK isn’t backing down from the challenge. She’s eyeing consistent performances and wins this year, knowing she needs to “keep up with the girls up front” to prove she belongs in the conversation for bigger opportunities.
• The resume she’s building speaks for itself – youngest and only female to win the ARA Open Two-Wheel-Drive Class Championship two years ago, and now she’s got her sights set on world championships in F1, WRC, or World RX. BLOCK wants to earn her way up “on my own merit,” which is exactly the kind of attitude that separates the contenders from the pretenders in this sport.
