Review Formula 1 Academy 2026 (PDF)

Four seasons at the heart of F1 ACADEMY

Review Formula 1 Academy 2026 is an archive dedicated to the fourth F1 ACADEMY season and to the first years of a series created in 2023. The book combines a detailed record of the 2026 season with the championship’s results since its creation, placing the new generations of drivers within the first chapters of the series’ history.

Launched in 2023, F1 ACADEMY was created to provide young female racing drivers with a competitive and development platform at the highest level of the single-seater ladder. From its first season, the series became part of Formula 1 Grand Prix weekends and quickly gained international visibility. Marta García, competing for PREMA Racing, became the first champion in the history of the category by securing the title at the season finale in Austin.

The 2024 season confirmed this momentum. Abbi Pulling dominated the championship and became the second F1 ACADEMY champion. Her campaign was particularly impressive: she finished all 14 races on the podium, taking nine victories and ten pole positions.

In 2025, Doriane Pin added her name to the record books. After finishing second in the 2024 championship behind Pulling, the French driver won the title during her second campaign. She became the third champion in F1 ACADEMY history.

This succession of champions already forms an important part of the series’ history. Marta García, Abbi Pulling and Doriane Pin represent the first three generations of F1 ACADEMY champions in a category whose purpose extends beyond the championship standings: giving young female drivers experience, visibility and valuable track time in an international racing environment.

The 2026 season also brings several developments. The calendar features seven events and fourteen races, including the F1 ACADEMY’s first appearance at Silverstone as part of the British Grand Prix weekend. Shanghai, Jeddah, Montreal, Zandvoort, Austin and Las Vegas complete the announced schedule for the fourth season.

The format also evolves at selected events with the introduction of an Opening Race, alongside the Reverse Grid Race and Feature Race. This provides additional racing time and adds a new strategic dimension for teams and drivers.

Review Formula 1 Academy 2026 documents the season session by session, while preserving the results from the series’ first three years. Readers can therefore follow the practice sessions, qualifying and races of 2026, while also exploring the results from 2023, 2024 and 2025 to track the evolution of the championship, its drivers and its teams.

F1 ACADEMY already has its first established names: Marta García, Abbi Pulling, Doriane Pin, Maya Weug, Nerea Martí, Chloe Chambers, Bianca Bustamante, Hamda Al Qubaisi and many other drivers have helped build the first seasons of this new category. Their results now form the first data of a history that is set to become an established part of the single-seater development ladder.

This documentary dimension is what gives Review Formula 1 Academy 2026 its place within the Red Books collection. The book is not a magazine focused on current events and does not attempt to replace sporting commentary. Instead, it brings together the data needed to find a result, driver, team, circuit or race, while preserving an overview of the competition’s first four seasons.

For F1 ACADEMY enthusiasts, collectors and readers interested in the development of women in single-seater racing, this book provides a first historical archive of the series. An archive that will gain further depth as new generations of drivers and new seasons are added to its record.

Review Formula 1 Academy 2026 follows the Red Books philosophy: transforming the results of a competition into a physical publication designed to be consulted, compared and preserved.

Four seasons. Hundreds of results. The first F1 ACADEMY champions. An archive of the beginnings of a new generation of female racing drivers.
