Episode 27: F1 Academy, Drive to Survive… and the Power of Promotion

Netflix quietly released F1: The Academy, a powerful docuseries following the journey of rising female drivers, and almost no one noticed.

In this episode of Full Throttle Finance™, we’re diving into why the show didn’t get the promo it deserved, what makes these women’s stories so compelling, and how visibility (or the lack of it) impacts the future of motorsport.

We explore:
🏁 The emotional stories of Abbi Pulling and Chloe Chambers
💸 The financial & cultural barriers in racing
📉 Why promotion matters — and how Netflix missed the moment
🤔 The ongoing debate: Should women and men race separately?

This isn’t just about F1. It’s about access, opportunity, and the business of building a racing career, with or without the spotlight.
