Formula One Teams Commit to Supporting Female Drivers in All-Female Series for Years to Come
All ten Formula One teams have agreed to a multi-year sponsorship deal to continue supporting female drivers in the F1 Academy series. The extension of their commitment to the program will provide ongoing support and resources for the talented women competing in the all-female series.
Since its inception, each F1 team has designated a driver from the F1 Academy series to participate on their car, adapting the livery to showcase their brand. The multi-year deal ensures that this partnership will continue, providing female drivers with essential experience and exposure to compete against top-level male drivers in the sport.
Cadillac joins the F1 Academy family as a grid sponsor for the 2027 season. This addition reinforces the growing importance of women's racing in Formula One and demonstrates the league's commitment to nurturing future generations of talented female drivers.
The managing director of F1 Academy, Susie Wolff, expressed her excitement about the extension of their partnership with the F1 teams: "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." This statement highlights the long-term vision and dedication of the F1 Academy team in fostering a more inclusive and diverse sporting environment.
The updated regulations allow drivers who have competed in two previous seasons to be granted an exemption to participate for a third season. This provision acknowledges that some female drivers show exceptional potential, warranting additional support and opportunities to develop their skills further.
As the 2025 F1 Academy season approaches its title decider in Las Vegas, fans can expect thrilling competition among top female talent. With Mercedes-sponsored Doriane Pin currently leading Ferrari-sponsored Maya Weug by nine points, the stakes are high for this talented group of drivers vying for the championship title.
For now, Sky Sports viewers will have exclusive access to the action-packed F1 Academy series live on Sky Sports F1, with highlights and analysis available on-demand.

Like, seriously though, it's awesome that all the teams are coming together to support these talented female drivers. I'm sure it's not like they have better things to do... like, say, actually racing or something 
. But in all seriousness, it's great to see the F1 Academy series getting more attention and resources. Maybe this is the push some of these drivers need to get noticed by teams like Mercedes and Ferrari 
. And hey, who knows, maybe one day we'll have an all-female team on the grid? A girl can dream, right? 
cadillac joining as a grid sponsor is a huge win too 
susie wolff's words about building a pathway for future generations of female drivers are giving me all the feels 
this is exactly what we need in the world, more opportunities for women to succeed and be seen 
let's get ready for an epic 2025 f1 academy season!!! 
I'm literally hyped out of my seat! 
It's about time we see more women taking part in this sport and showing off their skills. Doriane Pin is looking fierce, btw

just read that all 10 F1 teams are sticking around to support those awesome female drivers in the F1 Academy series for YEARS TO COME 
! With Cadillac joining as a grid sponsor next season, we can expect even more excitement and resources for these talented women. The stats are looking 
good for Mercedes driver Doriane Pin taking the championship title - 9 points clear of Maya Weug! 
. I mean, those cars are insane! What if some of them can't handle the G-forces? I'm all for giving them a shot, but I need to see some actual results before I start cheering on the ladies 
, but like what's up with the exemption thing? I thought it was gonna be more about actual talent not just 'hey we're feeling good about you' 
. It's heartening to see a sport that can be perceived as high-stakes and intense being inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of gender 
and susie wolff is literally so passionate about building a pathway for future generations of female drivers, it's infectious

. how much is this all gonna cost the F1 teams tho? their sponsorship deal better include some decent prize money or else its not worth it
