• ALBA LARSEN has earned a coveted spot in Ferrari’s Driver Academy starting January 2026, joining after an impressive debut season that caught the eye of Ferrari engineers. The 16-year-old Danish driver first won Ferrari’s attention by claiming victory in the Girls On Track – Rising Star programme at just 14 years old, setting the stage for this major career milestone.
• Currently sitting sixth in F1 Academy standings with MP Motorsport, LARSEN has proven her consistency by scoring points in all but one round she’s entered this season. She’s been pulling double duty, competing in both F1 Academy and British F4, showing the kind of racing hunger that makes academy directors take notice.
• Ferrari’s decision to bring LARSEN into their prestigious programme puts her alongside current FDA talents like Maya Weug and Aurelia Nobels, continuing the Scuderia’s investment in women’s racing. With her racing schedule for next season to be determined once she officially joins, LARSEN is positioning herself in the pipeline that has produced F1 drivers like Charles Leclerc and current prospects like Dino Beganovic.
