February 25, 2025

• LIA BLOCK just scored a major win off-track, becoming the first female driver to join Rockstar Energy’s athlete roster ahead of her second F1 Academy campaign. After finishing eighth in the championship last year, the Williams driver is positioning herself among extreme sports legends like Olympic champions and X Games medalists – and we love to see a racing woman getting the recognition she deserves.
• The partnership comes at a perfect time as F1 Academy expands its reach with seven races in 2025, including groundbreaking stops in Miami and Las Vegas. Block will be making history again as part of the first support series to race on the Vegas Strip Circuit, proving that women’s racing continues to break new ground in the sport’s biggest venues.
• At just 18, Block is already positioning herself as a trailblazer who understands the bigger picture. Her comment about hoping “this partnership inspires more women to break into racing and chase their dreams” shows she gets it – representation matters, and every barrier broken opens doors for the next generation of female racers.
