EMMA FELBERMAYR Climbs 11 Places for P13 Finish in F4 Debut at Jerez

February 10, 2025

• EMMA FELBERMAYR made an impressive single-seater debut at Jerez’s inaugural Spanish Winter Championship, finishing P13 in the final race after climbing 11 positions from her starting spot. The 18-year-old Austrian showed remarkable composure in chaotic conditions, avoiding early incidents and capitalizing on opportunities throughout the field to secure fifth place among rookies in just her third F4 start.
• Despite qualifying setbacks that forced her to start from the back of the grid after a red flag incident, FELBERMAYR demonstrated rapid adaptation and impressive racecraft. She secured her first top-20 finish in race two and consistently improved her lap times, running competitive 1:44.5s pace once in clean air—faster than many cars ahead of her in the highly competitive 30-car field.
• The KICK Sauber F1 Academy representative showcased the racing DNA from her motorsport family heritage, with both her father and grandfather having competed at Le Mans. Her transition from elite karting series like WSK and European Championship KZ category to single-seaters appears seamless, setting up an exciting dual program in F1 Academy and Spanish F4 with Rodin Motorsport for 2025.
