Carlin assisted Logan Sargeant in moving up from Formula 2 to a seat in the Williams Formula 1 team in 2023, and Campos Racing won the Spanish F4 championship this season.

Young women drivers in the junior ranks are the focus of Formula one Academy, which helps them advance to higher levels of single-seater racing like the W Series, F3, F2, and F1.

Each driver will contribute €150,000, which the series will match, while the teams will cover the remainder of the budget. The subsidized money contribution system indicates that the series will position itself as a less expensive alternative to comparable series.

The first season will consist of seven events. Due to the ’23 team comprises such experienced teams, the drivers will gain meaningful experience inside and outside the car to help them reach their full potential.

Formula 1’s President and CEO, Stefano Domenicali, said that the announcement of the five teams that will compete with each other in the F1 Academy next year is exciting. He added that the F1 academy would provide young, talented women with the opportunity to begin their careers in motorsport.

Bruno Michel, the F1 Academy’s general manager, expressed his thrill in announcing the five teams participating in the F1 Academy for the next three years, which will begin in 2023. According to Michel, the teams are well-known to the management board and have worked together for a long time.

He said the teams are well-known for their expertise in fostering and developing young drivers and their years of experience. He believes that the teams assist the drivers competing in the F1 Academy with the platform to develop physically and mentally for their future.
