Managing Director of F1 Academy Susie Wolff ( former Williams F1 test driver & wife of Mercedes Toto Wolff) showed her real passion for her work on the F1 Academy project and its new partnership with Formula 1 and its entire grid of teams.
"As we join the F1 Calendar for next year, I am confident we will have a positive impact across our sport in the long term" 
"The depth of support from the F1 community, will inspire a whole generation of young girls the oppertunities both on and off the track"

This sentiment was echoed by President and CEO of Formula 1 Stefano Domenicali..
" We created F1 Academy to bring about real and lasting change to ensure young female talent have the right system in place to follow and achieve their dreams"
The creation of the series and its growth in the short time since then has been quite special and the support of the F1 grid only gives the series and drivers chosen to participate in it a platform to show what they can do at world class tracks, to a global audience as well as give them the chance to be seen by the people who make the driver calls in Formula 1, 2 & 3.
Changes in our sport are hard to come by without great resistance but the willingness of the whole grid to support young female drivers, engineers or the many other roles in Formula 1 including mine is something that this girl in the racing community thinks is long over due but truly commendable.
Roll on the start of F1 Academy 2024
