Formula One extends F1 Academy partnership

Formula One has announced a multi-year renewal of its partnership with the all-female motor-racing series, F1 Academy.

As per the extension agreement, all ten teams currently on the F1 grid will continue sponsoring one F1 Academy livery and driver.

Additionally, the Cadillac F1 team, who are set to join the grid next year, have also pledged to enter F1 Academy as a sponsor in 2027.

Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 Academy, commented:

“The commitment of long-term support from all ten current Formula 1 teams, and the addition of Cadillac to our grid from 2027, sends a powerful message about the future of F1 ACADEMY. We’re not just providing a platform for the current generation of female drivers; together, we’re building a pathway to support generations of talent to come.  We continue to be impressed by the depth of female talent coming out of the world of karting and are encouraged by the growth and strength of the emerging talent pool. A sharpened focus on individualised talent development, including the opportunity for drivers with high potential to compete in up to three seasons, will give stand out drivers the support and platform needed to fully realise their potential, while ensuring that the F1 ACADEMY grid consistently features the very best female talent.”
