Following a promising debut season, Sofia Zanfari begins her second year in the French F4 Championship with fresh ambitions. No fewer than 32 drivers competed in the single-seaters at the traditional Easter Cup races on the Gascon circuit as part of the French Circuit Championship. Seven female drivers, each more competitive than the last, went head-to-head in F4.

Last night, during its prize-giving ceremony at the Autosport Awards, the all-female racing series, F1 Academy, unveiled a refreshed brand identity for 2026 and beyond, marking a shift in pace as the series enters its fourth season.

F1 Academy has unveiled the calendar for the 2026 season, which, once again, features seven rounds in support of the FIA Formula One World Championship, including the series’ first-ever appearance at Silverstone.

It has been a perfect F1 Academy finale for PREMA Racing under the glamorous lights of Las Vegas, as Doriane Pin capped a strong full-season run by winning the 2025 Driver Championship. The French racer, a Mercedes-AMG F1 Team junior driver and an Iron Dame, made a key breakthrough on Saturday, when she cruised to victory in a hectic, wet Race 1. She then stayed out of trouble in Race 2 to clinch the title. Throughout the course of the season, she achieved four wins, the most of any driver, and eight podiums.

Today, in the pitlane of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit at the FORMULA 1 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2025, the LEGO Group and F1 ACADEMY have announced an exciting multi-year partnership to inspire young fans, especially girls, through creative play and representation. As part of this collaboration, the LEGO Group will be represented on the F1 ACADEMY grid starting with the 2026 F1 ACADEMY season, with LEGO® Racing, piloted by driver Esmee Kosterman at the wheel. Additionally, the LEGO Group and F1 ACADEMY revealed their first LEGO set together, now available for pre-order.
