December 8, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MAYA WEUG landed a funded Ferrari 296 GT3 test with AF Corse after finishing F1 Academy vice-champion, proving the series actually follows through on its promise to support top performers. The Dutch driver’s path from Ferrari Driver Academy member to GT3 testing shows what strategic progression looks like when series put their money where their mouth is.
  • WEUG’s 2025 campaign was a masterclass in resilience – she opened with four straight podiums and a Jeddah win, lost ground during a rough Canada round, then mounted an epic comeback with wins in Zandvoort and Singapore. While DORIANE PIN ultimately took the championship, WEUG proved she belongs at the sharp end with eight total podiums across the season.
  • F1 Academy continues building credibility with meaningful opportunities for its standouts. MARTA GARCÍA got FRECA funding after her 2023 title, ABBI PULLING earned a GB3 seat for her 2024 championship, and now WEUG gets to explore sports car racing with one of Ferrari’s top GT teams. The December 8 Barcelona test represents exactly the kind of pathway development women’s racing has been missing.

UPCOMING:

  • Maya Weug Ferrari GT3 Test – December 8, Barcelona
  • F1 Academy 2026 Calendar Announcement – TBA
