F1: The Academy (UA-13+)

'F1 Academy' is a female-only and junior-level single-seater racing championship founded by 'Formula One'. The championship is a spec series, with all teams competing with an identical 'Tatuus - F4-T-421' chassis and tyre compounds developed by 'Pirelli'. Each car is powered by a 165-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine developed by 'Autotecnica'.

The cars used are the 'Tatuus - F4-T421' chassis used in 'Formula 4' championships globally since 2022, with tyres provided by 'Formula One' partner 'Pirelli'. The engine was provided by 'Autotecnica' and consisted of a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4 cylinder, capable of delivering 174 horsepower at 5500 rpm.

The 2023 season consisted of seven event weekends with three races each, for a total of 21 races, plus fifteen days of official testing. Each race weekend included two 30-minute races, and a 20-minute race where the top 8 drivers from qualifying had their starting positions reversed. The final of the seven events was a Formula One support race during the United States Grand Prix.

'F1 Academy' drivers must be between the ages of 16 and 25, and cannot do more than 2 seasons in the series. The 'Formula Regional European Championship' (FREC) has guaranteed a fourth entry to any team that signs a driver who finished P1, P2 or P3 in the 'F1 Academy' standings. 2023 champion Marta García received a fully funded seat in the championship for 2024, courtesy of 'F1 Academy', 'PREMA Racing', 'Tatuus' and 'Pirelli'.

The creation of F1 Academy, a racing series for women aimed to focus on developing and preparing young drivers to progress to higher levels of competition. It was created to help smooth the transition from karting to the single-seater ladder.
