GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • SUSIE WOLFF’s F1 Academy is making strategic moves for 2026, adding the prestige of Silverstone and the American market appeal of Austin to replace Miami and Singapore. We’re talking about putting women drivers front and center at two of motorsport’s most iconic venues – that’s the kind of visibility that changes everything.
  • The series maintains its proven 14-race format across seven weekends, all on F1’s support program, proving the concept works without diluting the quality. With 2025 champion DORIANE PIN showing what’s possible through the Mercedes development program, the pathway from F1 Academy to F1 teams is becoming more than just talk.
  • Cadillac’s 2027 commitment signals serious manufacturer investment in women’s racing, joining all 10 current F1 teams in backing drivers with full liveries. When you’ve got that level of buy-in from the sport’s power players, you know WOLFF and her team have built something that’s here to stay, not just a feel-good side show.

UPCOMING:

  • 2026 F1 Academy Season Opener – Shanghai (March)
  • 2026 F1 Academy at Silverstone
