DANIELLA SUTTON Scores Banking Sponsor for Her F1 Championship Dreams

August 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

DANIELLA SUTTON just landed a banking partner that gets it – Allica Bank signed on as her Official Banking Partner through 2026, backing her bold goal to become the first female Formula 1 champion. The 16-year-old is currently making her mark in BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship with plans to step up to FIA Formula 4, and this partnership gives her the financial foundation to keep climbing the ladder.
What makes DANIELLA’s story even more compelling? She’s been racing through Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis since age 12, a condition that causes joint pain and stiffness. At one point she questioned whether she could continue racing, but she learned to manage it with medication and sheer determination. Oh, and she earned a spot in the world-exclusive BRDC Rising Stars Programme – the same program that previously selected Lewis Hamilton.
The partnership shows how the right backing can accelerate talent – Allica’s CEO Richard Davies praised DANIELLA’s “challenger mindset” that mirrors their business philosophy. With her truck-driver dad Dan and step-mum Rachel managing the team effort, plus Allica handling the financial logistics, she’s got the support structure needed to tackle a sport that hasn’t seen a woman in F1 for over 50 years since Lela Lombardi.
