GRRL! SUMMARY:
- TAG Heuer steps up as F1 Academy’s first official timekeeper and partner, part of LVMH’s massive $1 billion F1 deal that’s bringing serious corporate muscle to women’s racing. SUSIE WOLFF perfectly captured the moment: “it’s most certainly not just a man’s world anymore” – and when luxury brands start writing big checks, that’s when we know the tide is really turning.
- Seventeen-year-old AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS lands the coveted TAG Heuer drive with newcomer Hitech Grand Prix, bringing her Indian F4 experience to what’s shaping up as the strongest F1 Academy field yet. The Australian rookie gets to carry one of the most recognizable brands in motorsports while chasing her F1 dreams – talk about launching your career with style.
- The series expands to 18 cars across seven F1 support rounds, building on ABBI PULLING’s dominant 2024 championship that earned her a fully funded GB3 seat. We’re watching F1 Academy evolve from promising concept to legitimate career accelerator, with the Chinese GP season opener proving these women deserve center stage at motorsports’ biggest events.
UPCOMING:
- F1 Academy Season Opener – Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai (March 22)
- F1 Academy 2025 Championship – Seven F1 Support Rounds
