F1 Academy: Discover Your Drive programme seeking to be a 'turning point' for women in motorsport

It would be great if we were able to see any F1 academy coverage live
- Yep, the article mentions that next season will have live coverage on the same weekends as F1!
- Madness that we don’t! It would also be cool if they got the D2S treatment to really promote it.
Why doesn't F1 Academy use an F3 or F2 equivalent car? There's no way to directly compare these women to men that are moving their way up to F1, which then prevents women from proving themselves and gaining better seats.
- Maybe they chose F4 cars for costs reasons? I believe F1 wanted Academy to be affordable for drivers and teams.
