Williams Racing is pleased to announce that American driver Lia Block will continue to represent the team for the 2025 F1 Academy season, racing with ART Grand Prix.

All seven rounds of the series will support F1 races across the globe, beginning in March at the Shanghai International Circuit and ending with November's season finale in Las Vegas.
 

Lia Block: “I’m excited to be racing with Williams Racing and ART Grand Prix for the 2025 season, and I’m looking forward to working with everyone in the Driver Academy for another year. We’ve made so much progress, and I can’t wait to hit the track again in Shanghai. This time we fight for wins!”
 

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Williams Racing: “We’re thrilled to have Lia racing with us in F1 Academy for 2025. Lia has shown impressive improvement throughout her first season of open-wheel racing, progressing race after race to end the year in a great position. We’ll be closely watching her continued growth in the coming year.”
