F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff says the all-female racing series must operate as a commercially viable platform rather than a "charity project".
The championship has gone from strength to strength since its inaugural season in 2023. After it initially took place in front of empty grandstands and with no televised on-track action, Wolff worked to form partnerships with Formula 1 and its teams. Now, the series features as a support race during selected F1 grand prix weekends and is fully broadcast.
