“A lot of work has gone into stitching the W Series / Formula 1 deal together, but above all I want to thank W Series’ drivers, the brave and talented young women who captured the imagination of the sporting world last summer. "Commercially, too, following the successful recent announcement of W Series’ new multi-year sponsor-partnership with ROKiT Phones, the fact that W Series will be even bigger and even better in 2020 than it was in 2019 will make the return on investment for our future sponsor-partners better and bigger, too. “Interest in and enthusiasm for W Series was enormous in our first season, 2019, among media and fans alike, and the addition of two all-new W Series races on the Formula 1 platform will inevitably increase that enthusiasm and interest. I’m particularly pleased that W Series will now stage races outside Europe, and the USA and Mexico are of course both very important new territories for us. “Our two all-new races will follow six races on the DTM platform, making a very varied, extremely exciting and truly international eight-race championship, in eight countries across the globe. “We at W Series are absolutely delighted that, in only our second season, our championship has been welcomed by Formula 1, and we’re utterly thrilled that the final two races of the 2020 W Series season will therefore take place as part of the Formula 1 platform," said W Series CEO, Catherine Bond Muir. Having no race over there made it a difficult concept to sell, but in supporting the Grand Prix and having one of their own - Sabre Cook - racing, the possibilities become endless. Races in the States and Mexico will massively increase the exposure of the W Series.
This means that the champion of 2020 will not be able to return to the competition for a second year and also means that Chadwick could become the only two-time champion if her 2019 success can be replicated. Of the seven races, including one non-championship reverse grid race in Assen, there were six different winners - Jamie Chadwick the only repeat winner on her way to the title.įor 2020, the FIA have decided to award super-licence points to the victor. Initially a controversial concept, the W Series won many people over with close, entertaining racing and unpredictable results.
