F1 Academy Critics Prove One Thing: They Know Nothing About Motorsport

"they're so slow" doesn't hold up when you look at the bigger picture.

The online criticism surrounding F1 Academy highlights a common misunderstanding about the process of motorsport development. While some may dismiss the all-female racing series as "too slow" or question the strategy, they might be overlooking the bigger picture of what this championship truly signifies in the motorsport ecosystem.

Understanding the Ladder System

F1 Academy is not trying to be Formula 1 – and that's precisely the point. Each car is powered by a 174-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine developed by Autotecnica Motori, making it comparable to other junior formulae. Critics who complain about the cars being "too slow" seem to forget that every racing driver, including current F1 champions, started in slower machinery.
