AURELIA NOBELS Exits Ferrari Academy While ALBA LARSEN Steps Into Program

January 2, 2026

• AURELIA NOBELS has left the Ferrari Driver Academy after three years in the program, having earned her spot by winning the Girls on Track Rising Stars programme in 2022. The 18-year-old Brazilian’s journey included campaigns across multiple F4 series and F1 Academy, where she secured a podium finish despite struggling to find consistent points-scoring form throughout her varied racing schedule.
• ALBA LARSEN officially joins Ferrari’s development ranks after winning the 2024 Girls on Track Rising Stars final, though she’s been racing with MP Motorsport since her reward rounds in Indian F4. The 17-year-old Dane showed promise in F1 Academy with two fourth-place finishes, landing seventh overall while splitting time between multiple series including British F4 and Formula Winter Series.
• Ferrari’s approach to developing female talent continues evolving through these academy transitions, with both drivers having navigated the challenging path from Girls on Track Rising Stars to professional racing programs. While NOBELS’ departure marks the end of one chapter, LARSEN’s official entry signals Ferrari’s ongoing commitment to nurturing women racers, even if the road through junior formulas remains as demanding as ever.
