Overview
- All ten current Formula 1 teams renewed their support to sponsor an F1 Academy livery and driver on a multi-year basis that extends through 2026.
- Cadillac, which is set to join Formula 1 in 2026, will become an F1 Academy grid sponsor from 2027.
- Updated regulations from 2027 will allow select drivers to receive exemptions for a third season, lifting the two-season limit for those showing strong potential.
- Managing director Susie Wolff said the long-term backing and Cadillac’s addition strengthen efforts to build a sustainable pathway for female talent.
- The series has expanded its reach with broadcasts in 170+ territories and a seven-part Netflix documentary, though no Academy driver has yet advanced to F3 or F2.
