They were told it wasn't for girls, but these could be the future faces of F1

F1 Academy has launched a program specifically designed to nurture and develop female drivers with the goal of advancing them to Formula 1's top competitive level. The initiative directly addresses the longstanding barrier that women have faced in motorsport, where they were historically told racing "wasn't for girls." The program aims to create a pipeline of female talent capable of competing in Formula 1, motorsport's premier racing series. F1 Academy represents the sport's formal recognition that developing women drivers requires dedicated resources and pathways. The program's success could potentially produce the first female Formula 1 drivers in decades.
