There have been few occasions this season where you might have spotted another vehicle out on track during an F1 ACADEMY race. This isn’t just any old car, it’s one that is critical to ensuring the wellbeing of drivers and personnel — the Safety Car.
In the next instalment of our EXPLAINED series, Tina Hausmann gives us the lowdown on how drivers deal with Safety Car appearances and challenges they have to overcome on the restarts.

EXPLAINED: How do Safety Cars work in F1 ACADEMY?

The 2024 Vice Champion will remain behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG F1 ACADEMY entry, operated by PREMA Racing, next season.

Doriane Pin will be looking to go one better in 2025, as Mercedes have confirmed that their Junior Programme driver will be returning to F1 ACADEMY next season.
Scoring three victories and an additional five podiums en route to becoming the Vice Champion this year, Pin will remain behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG F1 ACADEMY entry, operated by PREMA Racing. 
The 20-year-old French racer will benefit from additional track time, combining her sophomore F1 ACADEMY campaign with competing in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine (FRECA) alongside participating in select rounds of the Formula Regional Middle East Championship (FRMEC) over winter break. 

Doriane Pin returns for second F1 ACADEMY campaign with Mercedes

Team Manager Camilla Colombo reflects on PREMA Racing's success, as they fended off Rodin Motorsport to retain the Teams' title.

It all came down to those last few laps around the Yas Marina Circuit as PREMA Racing were crowned Teams’ Champions for the second consecutive season.

Facing stiff competition from Rodin Motorsport throughout the 2024 campaign, the Italian team’s defence didn’t go all their own way. Crucially, Maya Weug’s maiden victory in Race 3 alongside Tina Hausmann and Doriane Pin’s top five finishes were enough for them to retain the title by 40 points.
