The second race of the F1 Academy Qatar round at the Lusail International Circuit has been cancelled after a lengthy delay.
The 16 F1 Academy drivers were ready to start the race at Lusail under sunny skies, but barrier damage from a Porsche race caused delays. Time constraints arose as repairs were needed before the FIA Formula 2 Race scheduled at 15:20. After waiting for about 30 minutes, organizers decided to cancel the race, disappointing both champion Abbi Pulling and potential double winner Doriane Pin. This marks the first cancellation in the 2024 F1 Academy season, yet the upcoming race in Abu Dhabi offers another chance for the talented all-female driver grid to showcase their skills alongside Formula 1.
