• NICOLE HAVRDA scores a major sponsorship win with American Express backing her F1 Academy debut for Hitech Grand Prix in 2025, proving that consistent results open doors – even in a series where funding can make or break careers.
• The 19-year-old Canadian brings serious credentials to the grid, including three championship titles in 2023 and the distinction of being the first woman to win Formula Pro USA – the kind of resume that should silence anyone questioning whether she belongs at this level.
• Her pathway shows exactly how it should work: four podiums in Formula Regional Americas last year, building on earlier success in the Indian Racing League, creating a logical progression that lands her with proper backing instead of just hoping for the best.
