RAFAELA FERREIRA has become the face of Daniel Ricciardo’s new Enchante x VCARB Academy Programme collection, which specifically supports the next generation of women in motorsport. The RB-backed F1 Academy driver is modeling the racing-inspired lifestyle apparel that debuts as Ricciardo’s brand becomes the official lifestyle partner for the VCARB F1 Academy Programme.
At the Miami Grand Prix paddock, FERREIRA had the opportunity to meet actor Timothee Chalamet, presenting him with an Enchante VCARB t-shirt featuring her F1 Academy car livery.

The collaboration demonstrates how female drivers are becoming valuable ambassadors for major brands, with Ricciardo’s mission statement emphasizing their role in “developing new talent” and “bringing a fresh perspective to the paddock.”
