Formula One has announced that a racing series for women is to be held next year, which is likely to play a role of a support series for a weekend during the regular F1 season. The series, named the F1 Academy, will have a funding of 150,000 euros per car, which is to be matched equally by the driver, and intends to increase racing opportunities for women which has been dwindling with the recent cancellation of the W-Series mid-season.

Team Principal of Ferrari Mattia Binotto has announced his exit from the team, after rumours that circulated for several weeks. Ferrari owned the fastest car this season and leveraged the new technical regulations to successfully win 4 Grand Prix titles, 12 pole positions and 20 podium finishes. While strategic errors were committed, they ended the season as second in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships.Binotto’s exit has thus been especially surprising, as the team that he has been a part of for 28 years, looks to be a top contender for next season’s F1 title.
