All teams have confirmed their support for the F1 Academy.

      All ten current teams have confirmed their support for the F1 Academy women's series as part of a multi-year partnership.

      The Cadillac F1 team, which will make its Formula 1 debut next season, has confirmed that it will also become a sponsor of the series from 2027.

      In the F1 Academy, women compete in Formula 4 cars in the colors and with the support of Formula 1 teams.

      F1 Academy announced a rule change that will allow participants from the two previous seasons to compete in a third, but the rule will be applied 'exclusively to those whose results indicate a strong potential for further development.'

      The series' popularity has recently grown significantly: races are broadcast in more than 170 countries, a seven-part documentary series was released on Netflix, and the total social media audience amounts to 1.38 million people.

      Susie Wolff, the series' executive director: "The commitment of long-term support from all ten current teams and the addition of Cadillac to our lineup from 2027 will ensure a confident future for the women's series.

      We are not just providing a platform for the current generation of female drivers; together we are building a pathway to support future generations.

      The focus on individual talent development, including the opportunity to compete for up to three seasons, will give outstanding drivers the support and platform needed to fully realize their potential."

French authorities are probing a perplexing break-in at Alpine’s Viry-Chatillon facility, amid increasing suspicion that the incident may have been a case of industrial espionage. The unusual intrusion, first reported by Le Parisien, took place late on Monday night around 10 PM, when two unidentified individuals gained entry by breaking a window. 

As per police sources cited by French media, the intruders proceeded directly upstairs toward the management and executive offices, forcing open several internal doors before exiting the building only a few minutes later. Importantly, it appears that nothing was taken. 

"Nothing was stolen. Everything is fine. There were no employees present on site at that time," a source close to Alpine informed Le Parisien. The Evry public prosecutor confirmed that an investigation is currently in progress. Security footage and fingerprints are being examined, but no arrests have been made as of now. 

With theft ruled out, Le Parisien noted: "All other possibilities are being explored, including industrial espionage." L’Equipe pointed out the unusual timing and location: the historic Viry site is no longer involved in designing Alpine’s F1 power units, as the team will be using customer Mercedes engines starting in 2026. Many of the engine staff have already moved to other locations, including Ferrari. 

French media also noted that the intruders seemed to know precisely where they were headed, going directly to the senior offices before quickly exiting through a side door. Alpine has not made any public statements beyond confirming the occurrence of the incident. "There were no employees present on site at that time."
