It was confirmed earlier in the year that 2024 would see a closer collaboration between Formula One and the F1 Academy, part of which will be the selection of a driver of the latter by each team. That driver will sport the F1 livery on their cars. The F1 Academy is also set to be broadcast as part of the selected F1 weekends in 2024 giving the all-female series more exposure.
