The 17-year-old Williams driver Lia Block talks about her F1 Academy 'trial year' and an important lesson from her father, Ken Block.

Bumper fields from GTWS, GT4WS and FWS made the most of the valuable hours of track time, each completing multiple sessions over Thursday and Friday in preparation for an action-packed weekend of racing on the 4.005km circuit.

Following the success of F1 Academy in 2023, the series will return for a 21-race campaign across seven weekends this year. The all-female championship is directed by former Williams test driver Susie Wolff, who aims to help young women progress towards the higher levels of motorsport. 

The 17-year old driver has raced in karting, stage rally, and rallycross. And now she's going to compete in open-wheel competition.

Block, whose late father Ken built up a huge following for his viral Gymkhana videos, will make her single-seater debut with the ART Grand Prix team as the all-female series forges closer ties with F1.

She drove the 1,400-horsepower car for the first time just two days before practice runs at the world-famous hill climb.

It won't be a timed run, but the 16-year-old will finish the climb Ken Block started last year in the bonkers Hoonipigasus 911.
