The F1 Academy has unveiled its 2025 calendar that features seven rounds in support of Formula 1, including the highly anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will host its season finale.

This marks a significant milestone for the all-female single-seater championship, as it becomes the first support series to race at the iconic Las Vegas Strip Circuit.

The 2025 season will kick off in China before heading to Jeddah and Miami, both of which featured in the 2024 campaign.

The F1 Academy will then make its debut at the legendary Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal for Round 4, followed by races in the picturesque dunes of Zandvoort and the vibrant streets of Singapore for Rounds 5 and 6.

The thrilling finale in Las Vegas will cap off the season, adding a glamorous and high-energy setting to the championship’s growing calendar.

“Finishing our season in Las Vegas will be an iconic moment, and its addition to the calendar is testament to the wealth of support we receive from Formula 1 and Liberty Media,” commented F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
