ESMEE KOSTERMAN Gets F1 Academy Wild Card Debut at Zandvoort with TeamViewer

• ESMEE KOSTERMAN lands the F1 Academy wild card spot for Zandvoort, bringing a refreshingly diverse racing resume that includes being the first woman to win in the Ford Fiesta Sprint Cup Benelux. She’s been methodically building her single-seater credentials through British F4, where she’s shown real grit – bouncing back from tough qualifying sessions to gain eight places in races and score her first championship points.
• TeamViewer isn’t just throwing money at this – they’re making a statement with a livery featuring over 200 female innovators and the number 86, representing the percentage of women who believe visible female leaders drive workplace equality. It’s the kind of partnership that gets it right, using motorsport as a platform for meaningful change rather than just brand exposure.
• The bar for wild card success sits high after NINA GADEMAN’s historic fourth place at this same track in 2024 – still the best wild card result in F1 Academy history. KOSTERMAN has home advantage and the preparation of racing at Zandvoort in British F4, plus she’s already proven she can handle the pressure of being a trailblazer in male-dominated series.
