ATIQA MIR Storms 16 Positions in WSK Finals After Wet Weather Masterclass

February 10, 2026

• ATIQA MIR delivered a stunning performance at the WSK Super Master Series Round 2, jumping 16 positions from 32nd to finish 16th in the finals at Circuit di Napoli. The 11-year-old Indian phenom showed remarkable composure in her first-ever wet weather drive in the junior category, qualifying sixth fastest in treacherous conditions on one of karting’s most demanding tracks.
• Despite facing two DNFs and four penalties during the heat races that cost valuable qualifying points, ATIQA bounced back with the kind of resilience that separates future stars from the pack. Her charge through the field displayed the aggressive precision that has motorsports insiders comparing her wet weather skills to Max Verstappen – high praise for someone barely into double digits.
• The weekend highlighted why ATIQA became the first Indian driver supported by F1 Academy, showcasing speed and maturity that defied her age in only her second junior category appearance. While a post-race penalty dropped her final classification to 18th, her raw pace and skill in challenging conditions proved she belongs among the world’s elite junior karting talent.
