Now in its third season, the F1 Academy Racing Series is participating in the Formula 1 75th-anniversary celebrations with Shanghai, the venue for the Chinese Grand Prix, serving as the first stop of the 2025 season for this all-female junior racing series. With the addition of the Hi-Tech team and a host of new faces, the 2025 season centers on who will be the next to follow in the footsteps of past champions. In the first outing of the 2025 season, Shi Wei has been named as the inaugural wild card entry, but she faced some heartbreak before her home crowd, including getting beached mid-race.
