EMMA FELBERMAYR & ALBA HURUP LARSEN Ready to Battle in Expanding UAE4 Field

January 12, 2026

• EMMA FELBERMAYR brings serious F1 Academy credentials to PHM Racing’s UAE4 program, having finished 10th in last year’s championship with Sauber backing. The 18-year-old Austrian showed her adaptability across multiple series in 2024, tackling both Spanish F4 and the all-female championship during her rookie single-seater season.
• ALBA HURUP LARSEN joins Evans GP’s expanded four-driver lineup, though she’ll miss the Losail finale. The rising talent impressed in her 2025 F1 Academy campaign with a seventh-place finish while simultaneously juggling British F4 and Winter Series commitments – exactly the kind of multi-series grind that separates the committed from the casual.
• Both women enter UAE4 with the momentum of F1 Academy experience under their belts, giving them a tactical edge over purely karting-based competitors. While the series continues its grid expansion with drivers like Iacopo Martinese stepping up from karting and Vladimir Verkholantsev bringing SMP F4 credentials, these two have already proven they can handle the unique pressures of high-profile single-seater racing.
