GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • F1 Academy just locked down their future through 2026 with every single F1 team recommitting to back their 10-car grid. This isn’t just token support anymore – we’re talking about a multi-year investment that shows the paddock finally gets it. The series has come a long way from that first season where barely anyone could even watch it.
  • The real game-changer? Starting in 2027, drivers can now compete for up to three seasons instead of two, giving talented racers like recent champion ABBI PULLING more time to develop before making the jump to series like GB3. It’s about time someone recognized that forcing women out after just two seasons was artificially limiting their growth potential.
  • SUSIE WOLFF made it clear this expansion isn’t just about the current crop of drivers – they’re building infrastructure for “generations of talent to come.” With Cadillac joining as the 11th team sponsor in 2027 and the series now broadcast in 170 territories plus getting the Netflix treatment, F1 Academy is positioning itself as the undisputed pathway for women in open-wheel racing.

UPCOMING:

  • 2025 F1 Academy Season Calendar TBA
  • Cadillac F1 Academy Entry – 2027
