Formula 1’s all-female junior category will hold all its rounds next year as support races for grands prix. The other races will be at the Miami, Spanish, Dutch, Singapore and Qatar Grands Prix. This year, F1 Academy is a support race at only this weekend’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. All 10 F1 teams will provide a driver to the Academy and have their livery on one car. Susie Wolff, the managing director of the F1 Academy, made it her aim to make the series a support event at grands prix when it was launched this year. F1 chairman and CEO Stefano Domenicali said: “This global platform, combined with the support of all ten F1 teams, will take the series to the next level, providing not only the opportunity for the drivers to develop their skills on F1 tracks, but to inspire young girls around the world to pursue a future in motorsport.”.
