KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN Named 10th Driver for 2026 F1 Academy with Haas Backing

August 5, 2025

• Fifteen-year-old KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN from Arizona has been officially named as Haas F1 Team’s representative for the 2026 F1 Academy season, partnering with ART Grand Prix to become the tenth confirmed driver in what’s shaping up to be a competitive field.
• Despite only starting her racing career three years ago, COUNTRYMAN has already made impressive strides – transitioning from four-stroke karts to becoming a CompKart factory driver, then proving herself as one of just three women in a 22-driver USF Juniors field where she scored four top-10 finishes.
• The young racer will pull double duty next season, competing in both F1 Academy and USF2000 Championship, with Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu praising her “contagious passion” and promising full team resources to support her development in what could be a breakthrough year for the Arizona native.
