Here's everything you need to know about the F1 Academy, including the championship format, 2024 schedule, drivers, teams, and points system.
'); }
Established in 2023, the F1 Academy is a single-seater racing championship exclusively for female drivers aged 16 to 25 - who must hold a Grade B, C or D International FIA Licence.
It functions as a feeder series and is designed to develop young female drivers and prepare them for higher levels of competition such as Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1.
The Academy is a spec series, meaning all 15 drivers compete with identical cars. The championship utilises the Tatuus F4-T-421 chassis, powered by a turbo-charged 1.4-litre, four-cylinder engine supplied by Autotecnica and equipped with 13-inch Pirelli tyres.
To make the sport more accessible, F1 has pledged €2.25 million (roughly £1.91 million) to the championship, helping to reduce driver entry costs. While drivers are still required to contribute €100,000, this marks a €50,000 decrease from last year's costs.
Additionally, each of the 10 F1 teams has selected one driver from the F1 Academy grid to run a car in their own livery, and many of these drivers have also been incorporated into the academy programmes of their respective F1 teams.
Susie Wolff, ex-Williams F1 test driver and former team principal and CEO for the Venturi Formula E squad, was appointed managing director of F1 Academy in early 2023.

F1 Academy format - Weekend structure and points system
Just like F1, the F1 Academy weekend takes place across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Practice gets the weekend rolling, with either one or two 40-minute sessions on Friday, depending on the schedule. If only one practice session is held on Friday, a 30-minute qualifying session will take place the same day.
If two practice sessions were held on Friday, qualifying will take place on Saturday, followed by Race 1 (which lasts 30 minutes). Race 2 will take place on Sunday, and it will also last 30 minutes.
The fastest lap from qualifying sets the grid for Race 1 on Saturday, while the second-fastest lap determines the starting order for Race 2 on Sunday.

F1 Academy points system
The points system in F1 Academy mirrors F1, rewarding the top 10 finishers in each 30-minute race with 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 points respectively.
There's an additional point up for grabs for the driver who clocks the fastest lap - but only if they finish within the top 10.
With 25 points awarded for the win and a potential 2 points for each pole position, a driver can rack up a maximum of 56 points across a race weekend, while a team can score a total of 122 points.
At the end of the season, the top five finishers will be awarded Super Licence points - with the winner earning 10 points, the second-place finisher earning seven, the third-place finisher earning five, the fourth-place finisher earning three, and the fifth-placed driver earning one point.
Marta Garcia won the inaugural F1 Academy title driving for PREMA Racing.
