Nina Gademan certainly made an impression on her F1 ACADEMY debut in Zandvoort. On the cusp of a podium in both races, the Dutch racer put on a memorable showing, becoming the first Wild Card entry to score points.

History is set to be made at ROKiT British F4 certified by the FIA this weekend as eight female drivers, including five current F1 Academy drivers, line up on the grid, marking the highest-ever level of female participation in the Championship. F1 Academy drivers Bianca Bustamante, Jessica Edgar, Aurelia Nobels, Carrie Schreiner and Abbi Pulling will all take part in Round 6 of the season at Circuit Zandvoort (13-14 July).

Alpine Academy’s Abbi Pulling dominated the F1 Academy weekend in Miami, celebrating two wins from two races to complete a near-perfect weekend in Round 2 of the series at the Miami International Autodrome. Abbi scored 57 points from a maximum of 58 over the weekend after securing a pole position double and the Fastest Lap in Race 2.

It was a busy month on and off track for the Sauber Academy drivers, who kept up with the good performances shown in the past months: there were wins and podiums, as they carried the name of the Sauber Academy all over Europe.

During the team’s official Launch Event in London for the presentation of its 2023 Formula 1 challenger, the A523, Alpine announced new developments for its Rac(H)er programme confirming its ambition to promote equal opportunities for men and women to enhance its performance.
