NINA GADEMAN Switches to MP Motorsport for 2026 F1 Academy Championship Hunt

January 14, 2026

• NINA GADEMAN is making a strategic move from Prema Racing to MP Motorsport for the 2026 F1 Academy season, keeping her Alpine backing while switching to what she calls her “home team.” The Dutch driver clearly knows a good opportunity when she sees it – MP has been consistently strong in the series, and there’s nothing like having that extra motivation when you’re racing for your countrymen.
• Her 2025 season showed exactly why teams are fighting for her signature – sixth in the championship with a breakthrough win at Zandvoort that had the home crowd on their feet, plus three additional podiums across Montreal and Las Vegas. That Zandvoort victory wasn’t just a feel-good story; it was GADEMAN announcing herself as a serious title contender who can deliver when the pressure’s on.
• MP Motorsport team principal Sander Dorsman didn’t mince words about what this signing means, calling GADEMAN “one of our strongest rivals” who they’re now thrilled to have fighting for them instead of against them. Smart teams recognize talent when they see it, and GADEMAN has made it clear she’s coming for the 2026 championship when the season kicks off in Shanghai this March.
