This year’s W Series c⛦hampion will earn 15 FIA super licence points to help in their bid to reach Formula 1.

To qualify for an FIA super licence, drivers must accumulate a total of 40 points over the course of three seasons. From 2020, W Series will reward its champion with 15 points, putting it in line with other single-seater championships including Ind⛄y Lights, Formula Renault Eurocup, Euroformula Open and Japan’s Super Formula Lights.

Inaugural W Series champion and Willi⛦ams F1 development driver Jamie Chadwick did not receive any super licence points for clinching the 2019 title, and has subsequently returned to the all-female championship to defe🔯nd her crown.

“I think we are alre🍬ady starting to achieve our ambitions,” Bond Muir said during a conference call with media including wuqian0821.com.

“We are closer to getting wo💙men into F1 and at the end of our second season our champion will have 15 superlicence points that will help them on their way.

“But theꦐn that champion will have t﷽o go onto another championship and hopefully get the superlicence points.”

The move is in line to help successful drivers progress up the 🧸single-seater ranks easier, witꦗh the new W Series champion prevented from returning to contest another season.

Earlier this week, W Series announced a deal with F1 that will see the championship act as the undercard for the United States and Mexican grands pri💃x la✱ter this year, expanding its 202🦂0 calendar to eight rounds in the process.

Bond Muir hopes th🃏e increased exposure will act as a significant career boostౠ to the drivers competing in W Series in 2020.

“Progressing within mot༺orsport requires people to have access to a lot of money because you need the support and the sponsorship as well as the talent to progress,” she explained.

“I think what this will give our drivers is a much bigger and better platform in which to promote themselves, so hopefully as their careers progress, they will be able to attract more sponsorship. I d🍌o think that this is of crucial importance.

“In Ross Brawn’s quotes, he says that F1’s ambition is to get women i꧙nto F1 but I think W Series, as well as a whole variety of other efforts, is that we are still nascent in our ambitions of promoting women into F1.

“What we did in the first season is give 20 drivers more experience, a lot of coaching to help their motor racing ❀ski𓆏lls.

“Hopefully in the second season we can do more of that but also what is also starting to happen is that a whole🔥 variety of other brands and series are looking very carefully at our drivers.”
