Just a few days to go until the first green light of the 2025 F1 Academy season, another thrilling year alongside the Formula 1 paddock!
The Formula 1 season kicked off just days ago in Melbourne, but the paddock has already moved to Shanghai, where Formula 1 Academy will make its season debut, the all-female series created in 2023 to develop the talent of young women drivers, and it’s set for another exciting year!
18 cars on the grid
The number of drivers and of T-421-F1A powered by the ATM 1.4L engine on the grid is increasing, thanks to the debut of Hitech TGR. The team joins the returning Prema, Rodin, Campos, MP, and ART, bringing the total to 18 drivers—17 full-time competitors, plus one wild card entry per Grand Prix, managed by Hitech.
Calendar
The season will feature seven rounds and the journey begins this weekend in Shanghai, kicking off a world tour that will take the drivers, teams, and cars to:
- Jeddah (April 18-20)
- Miami (May 2-4)
- Montreal (June 13-15)
- Zandvoort (August 29-31)
- Singapore (October 3-5)
- Las Vegas (November 20-22)
In Las Vegas, the new champion will be crowned, following in the footsteps of Marta Garcia (2023) and Abbi Pulling, winner of the 2024 season, the first in which the series shared the paddock with Formula 1 at every event.
The Format
Each race weekend will feature one or two free practice sessions before a 30-minute qualifying round, which sets the grid for the two races per event.
Race 1 will see the return of the “reverse grid” format, where the top 8 qualifiers will start in reversed positions, enhancing on-track competition and driver development. The winner of Race 1 will earn 10 points, with points awarded down to 8th place.
Race 2 will use the official qualifying times for the starting grid, with the top 10 finishers earning points—25 for the winner.
The Future
A unique series worldwide, won in 2024 by Abbi Pulling: thanks to her success, the British driver is now set for the next step in her career, competing in the GB3 Championship 2025 with the brand-new MSV-GB3-025 single-seater from Tatuus!
