GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • Seventeen-year-old AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS lands a coveted F1 Academy seat with Hitech Grand Prix for 2025, marking her first full single-seater campaign. The Australian brings serious credentials from karting—where she followed her mother’s racing footsteps—plus fresh F4 experience that saw her climb from debut top-10s to front-running battles by season’s end.
  • TAG Heuer’s partnership delivers more than just funding—it’s a statement. Their livery declares “It’s not a man’s world anymore,” backing up the luxury brand’s move into F1 Academy as official timekeeper. This isn’t tokenism; it’s the kind of serious sponsor commitment that signals the series is gaining real momentum with brands that matter.
  • ANAGNOSTIADIS showed she can handle pressure in her Indian F4 debut season, consistently improving from seventh-place starts to front-running pace by mid-season. Her recent European preparation through Formula Winter Series and EuroCup-4 Spanish Winter Championship proves she’s not just hoping to survive—she’s building the foundation to compete when F1 Academy kicks off at Shanghai in March.

UPCOMING:

  • F1 Academy Shanghai opener – March 22-23
  • F1 Academy Jeddah round
