Must read

Las Vegas will host the finale of next year’s all-female F1 Academy series after races on three continents, organisers announced on Monday.

Las Vegas was one of three new venues listed on the seven-round, 14-race 2025 calendar, along with China’s Shanghai as the opener in March and Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Europe will have only one round, at Zandvoort in the Netherlands in late August, while North America has three: Miami in May, ahead of Montreal in June and Las Vegas in November.

Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah circuit hosts round two in April and Singapore the penultimate round in October.

The races coincide with Formula One grands prix at the same venues.
