"F1 Academy 101!! * program aims to help female drivers prepare for higher levels of motorsport, such as Formula, 2, Formula 3, and Formula 1 (not just for boys!!!) *F1A provides them with track time, technical support, mental and physical training. * the series in 2024 is across seven countries and 3 continents for the first time. * you can watch all of the races live on @f1academy's YouTube. * the girls are so sweet and talented and driven. they spray sparkling grape fruit juice at the podium because most of them are not old enough to drink champagne."

Riddle also shared a video from the podium as the drivers celebrated their podium finish. Chloe Chambers won the race while Abbi Pulling came second and Hamda Al Qubaisi finished third.
