Formula 1 chiefs have released more details about its new F1 Academy, set to launch this year.
The new feeder series is designed to give female racers a new patch up the single-seater ranks. It has been created to augment the W Series rather than replace it, with the long-term aim of helping women drivers to one day compete in F1.
It was announced in December that five teams have signed up to take part. ART, Campos, Carlin, MP Motorsport and Prema are all well established competitors in other junior series, and are locked in to each field with three drivers in the F1 Academy per year until at least 2025.
