Formula One to launch new racing series for women
Associated PressABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Formula One is launching a new racing series for female drivers that will start next year. The series will aim to recruit “young talent currently in go-karting or other junior categories” in the hope they can later graduate to Formula Three as a next step, and eventually compete in F1. “Our objective from the start has always been to increase the talent pool of women racing drivers, and the addition of the F1 Academy as a feeder to W Series and other series is a further step in inspiring the next generation to progress up the motorsport ladder.” W Series ran into financial trouble this season and canceled its final three races in Mexico and the United States, to focus on raising funds for 2023. “We are looking forward to finalizing W Series’ plans for 2023 and beyond, providing exciting racing and entertaining our fans around the world,” Bond Muir said.
