    F1 Academy

F1 Academy is an all-female series that was launched in 2023 by Formula 1 to help prepare and develop female drivers to make the step up to higher levels of motorsport, including Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1, providing them with track time as well as technical, physical, and mental support.

Ella Lloyd will represent McLaren Racing by running the team’s livery on her race car for the 2025 season. Cisco, Official Primary Partner of the McLaren F1 Academy programme, and NTT DATA, Official Partner of the McLaren F1 Academy Team, will also be carried on the team’s F1A challenger.
