The second season of the all-female racing series, F1 Academy, will begin in early March. F1 introduced this Formula 4-spec series in 2023 to increase the chances of having a female driver in Formula 1 after a 47-year gap. The grid consists of 15 drivers split into five teams, each team running three cars. In 2024, all 10 F1 teams will support the academy by backing at least one driver on the grid. About a third of the grid has been confirmed, including drivers like Tina Hausmann (Aston Martin), Abbi Pulling (Alpine), Bianca Bustamante (McLaren), and Lia Block (Williams). Carrie Schreiner (Stake/Sauber) is the most experienced driver on the grid, and her teammates will be announced later.
