F1 Academy season to align with Formula 1 calendar in 2024

The all-women's series will kick off its inaugural season in Spielberg, Austria in late-April, but will be appearing at select rounds of the 2024 F1 season in its second year of competition.

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed over the Australian Grand Prix weekend that the 2023 calendar will be aligned with F1. The specific races in which the series will appear at will be confirmed at a later date.

“We haven’t yet started the (2023 F1 Academy) season on the track but I can confirm with you that next year, F1 Academy will be on the racing weekend with Formula 1. Of course, not everywhere, but that will be part of the plan to promote F1 Academy… that’s something we are really keen on, that hopefully that will be the right boost for the season to grow; of course we have just started.

“F1 took the leadership on that to try to do something, investing, believing that by creating attention to that project we can have hopefully as soon as we can, a girl, a woman, in F1. That’s our hope and that’s why we are really investing a lot.

“Susie Wolff will lead this plan, this programme and in the next couple of weeks we will announce the details of what is more than (on) the track because we need to start to create awareness."

The 2023 season will begin at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg from 28-29 April.
