Series’ title will be decided this weekend with hopes that the platform will help female racers to set their sights higher
With the Formula One championship done and dusted, the tension and urgency of a title fight will be sorely lacking at this Sunday’s US Grand Prix. However, another championship will be decided in Austin where F1’s attempt to return a woman to the grid reaches the climax of its first season at the Circuit of the Americas. For the all-female F1 Academy this is both a finale and also a precursor for grander ambitions.
The series’ managing director, Susie Wolff, is fired up by bringing her drivers to the F1 undercard and encouraged by the positive results from the Academy’s inaugural season.
