F1 Academy is a female-only single-seater racing championship established by the Formula One Group. Operating at the Formula 4 level, it is a spec series where all teams use identical Tatuus F4-T421 chassis, Pirelli tires, and a 174-horsepower engine from Autotecnica Motori. The series is designed to promote and develop female talent in motorsport.
The championship is notable for its focus on creating a dedicated pathway for women in a sport where they have been historically underrepresented. By providing a standardized and competitive platform, it aims to prepare drivers for higher levels of racing, contributing to greater diversity within the Formula 1 pyramid.
Recently, F1 Academy has been in the news due to the conclusion of its 2025 season in Las Vegas. Headlines have highlighted the dramatic title showdown, where Doriane Pin clinched the championship in the final race. The event also featured other competitive performances, including a driver securing pole position.
Looking forward, the series continues to build momentum, with news outlets also reporting that the driver lineup for the 2026 F1 Academy grid is already beginning to take shape, with several competitors confirmed for the upcoming season.
