F1 Academy Launches Montreal Program Boosting Women Motorsport Talent

The F1 Academy, launched in 2023 to promote female talent in motorsport, recently made its debut in Montreal during the Canadian Grand Prix, providing young women drivers with training, mentoring, and workshops to develop their racing skills and off-track knowledge. Montreal's inclusion is significant due to its rich motorsport history and the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which hosts the Canadian Grand Prix each year. The Canadian Grand Prix also saw updates in the driver and constructor standings, with Ferrari struggling and losing ground, while McLaren experienced a points drop, highlighting a pivotal phase of the 2025 F1 World Championship as it moves to European rounds. Despite rumors of internal issues within Ferrari, both team leadership and drivers have denied any instability. The F1 Academy's presence in Montreal has garnered interest from racing teams and sponsors, underscoring its role in building a pipeline for future Formula 1 drivers. This initiative reflects a broader commitment within the sport to foster inclusivity and equal opportunities for women in racing.
