Overview

F1 Academy has launched an expanded talent development programme for 2026, featuring a new Rookie Training Camp in partnership with Loughborough University. The initiative is designed to support female single-seater drivers through a two-phase process involving physiological profiling, cognitive assessments, and on-track testing.

Following the announcement of the programme, Singaporean driver Kareen Kaur was named as a participant for the 2026 Rookie Test. Kaur, who became Singapore’s first female Formula 4 driver in 2025, will undergo the training camp in England before proceeding to the Circuito de Navarra in Spain for on-track sessions.
