F1 Academy: Formula 1 launches all-female championship

https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/63675446


'Formula 1 has launched an all-female series aimed at helping women drivers progress through the motorsport ranks.

Named the F1 Academy, it will consist of five teams of three cars contesting seven events featuring three races.'

This seems like a far more sustainable solution than W Series.

They say it compliments the W Series. The end of the recent W Series season has meant that the future of that series' sustainability is in question.

I'm intrigued to see how both stack up.

IE anybody thinking of investing in W Series needs to remember the debts owed to creditors.

They say that, but the graphic they showed has F1A below F3, then feeding into F3, F2 then F1. W Series doesn't appear on the graphic.

Honestly, this seems like a better solution.

The first F1 Academy driver announced is Léna Bühler.

She is 25 years old and has plenty of experience in Formula Regional.

Am I surprised? Not really...
