The 2025 F1 Academy season gets underway on Friday, March 21 at the Chinese Grand Prix, as the stars of the all-female racing series make their way to Shanghai for the first time.

It was Abbi Pulling who secured the 2024 drivers' championship in a dominant season for the British star; but her absence from the grid in 2025 opens up the fight for the title amongst the remaining drivers.

Last year's runner up Doriane Pin heads in as one of the favourites for the championship, but she will have tough competition from Ferrari's Maya Weug and Red Bull star Chloe Chambers, who were the only other drivers alongside Pin to claim a victory in 2024.

The grid will welcome several new drivers in 2025, including Australian racers Joanne Ciconte and Aiva Anagnostiadis, and Chloe Chong will make her F1 Academy return with Charlotte Tilbury having last been seen on the grid in 2023.

Alisha Palmowski will also make her full-time F1 Academy debut in 2025, after appearing as a Wild Card entry at last year's race in Qatar and finishing as runner up in the 2024 GB4 series.

So, who will claim the drivers' title for the 2025 F1 Academy season?

Will those with unfinished business, such as Pin and Weug, take the title this time around, or will newcomers like Palmowski deny them a maiden championship?

F1 Academy 2025 Calendar: Dates and start times

The 2025 F1 Academy season is comprised of 7 rounds each hosting two races, which totals 14 races across the whole season.

In 2025, the F1 Academy will race at several new grand prix circuits including the Shanghai International Circuit at the Chinese Grand Prix, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve at the Canadian Grand Prix and Las Vegas' street circuit.

China will act as the 2025 season opener alongside F1's grand prix, with Shanghai hosting the first two races of the season from March 21-23.
