MAYA WEUG’s Seat Search Frustrates SUSIE WOLFF Despite Strong F1 Academy Run

August 22, 2026

• MAYA WEUG finished runner-up to DORIANE PIN in 2025 F1 Academy with three wins and nine podiums but cannot secure a 2026 race seat, calling it her “toughest year” despite strong performance.
• SUSIE WOLFF expressed frustration over WEUG’s situation, noting champion PIN received fully funded progression to LMP2 and F1 testing while WEUG faces limited options despite nearly winning the title.
• WEUG made three Belcar appearances with ART Racing and earned a podium on GT debut, but Ferrari 296 GT3 test and anticipated Zolder 24 Hours entry failed to materialize into opportunities.
• WOLFF emphasized F1 Academy’s impact funding 19 drivers across seven F1-platform weekends with 11 supported by F1 teams, while acknowledging ongoing analysis of how to better facilitate driver progression.
