Who pays for F1 Academy?
F1 Academy is largely funded by Formula 1 itself, with each of the ten F1 teams also sponsoring one driver. This model ensures that financial barriers are reduced for talented young women, making motorsport more accessible. Drivers do not pay to compete, allowing them to focus purely on their performance, like Alisha Palmowski.
