🇦🇺 A Proud Moment for Australia
With a legacy of seven World Championship wins in F1 in Schools, Team Australia is well-positioned to make an impact again. Each of the four teams has invested months—if not years—of dedication and innovation to reach this moment. Now, they face the ultimate test of their skills, determination, and teamwork on the global stage.
