GRRL! SUMMARY:
- PAYTON WESTCOTT is getting the full Mercedes treatment for 2026 F1 Academy with a sleek silver and black livery accented by fluorescent green.
- This comes hot on the heels of DORIANE PIN delivering Mercedes their first F1 Academy championship in 2025.
- WESTCOTT’s confidence is infectious as she talks about putting the car “at the front of the field,” while Mercedes doubles down with heavyweight sponsors like Snapdragon, BetterUp, Unity and Microsoft – because nothing says serious investment like a tech company lineup that could fund a small country’s GDP.
UPCOMING:
- 2026 F1 Academy season opener – Shanghai, March 13-15
