I’ll just post this now before I decide that I need to edit it anymore
The F1 Kids broadcast returns in 2024 for the Bahrain, Monaco, British, Dutch, Singapore, Brazil, and Abu Dhabi GPs! People have been talking about it, mainly as a joke, but it's genuinely a fun watch.
The main difference is different commentators (depending on where/how you watch it) and more colourful, fun graphics (of the drivers, fun facts, team radios, etc etc). There's also simplified explanations which might seem like basic knowledge, but do remember it's made for kids.
It broadcasts via:
Supersport (Africa)
BeIN Sports (Asia, Middle East & North Africa, Turkey)
Foxtel/Kayo/Fox sports (Australia)
Fox sports (Mexico)
Bell Media (Canada)
Viaplay (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Iceland)
ANT1+ (Greece)
ESPN (Latin America, the Caribbean, USA)
Sky Sports (UK)
K+ (Vietnam)
Wildcard entries are basically one driver from each race country, who get to race in F1 academy for the weekend. In Miami, the honor goes to Californian Courtney Crone who will race in car 77, supported by QVC.
She's 23 and has raced sportscars for the last 4 years, although she did race single-seaters before that, as well as speedway motorcycles. Some notable achievements of hers are winning the IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship (2022/23), the Gorsline Company Scholarship (2021) and the Formula Speed Scholarship. She was also a nominee for the Team USA Scholarship and W Series.
She currently competes in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA.
The series will no doubt kickstart her return to single-seaters, as well as give her an entry into more international motorsports.
Best of luck to her this weekend!!

Starting to accept the fact that maybe I’m a George Russell fan
