The all-female W Series, which is supporting Formula One at eight grands prix this year, will become a team-based championship from 2022 as a result of strong sponsor interest, organisers said on Thursday.

Drivers will continue to race with identical machinery, however, with cars prepared and maintained by W Series Engineering.

The new team structure will see driver pairings representing a number of new sponsors including German sportswear company Puma. "Going forward we are going to be sustained by our partners coming in. We can have long-term planning and grow the business much better. For me this is possibly our most important announcement," she added.

Teams would not be allowed to charge the drivers any money or force them to bring sponsorship in order to secure the drive, as happens in other junior series. "What we're helping to do is empower female drivers and get money for them. We've still got our prize money this year...but going forward if teams wanted to come in and pay a lot of money for a particular driver then I'd personally welcome that."
