MAYA WEUG Scores Fully Funded Ferrari GT3 Test After F1 Academy Runner-Up

December 8, 2025

• MAYA WEUG has landed a fully funded Ferrari 296 GT3 test with AF Corse after finishing second in the F1 Academy drivers’ championship. The 21-year-old Ferrari Driver Academy member—the first woman to join their program—earned this opportunity as a stepping stone toward securing a full-time seat for 2026.
• Susie Wolff’s vision of F1 Academy as “a stepping stone, not a destination” is paying dividends as the series actively funds progression opportunities for top performers. This GT3 test represents exactly the kind of meaningful career advancement we need to see more of—concrete next steps rather than empty promises.
• Despite calling racing “very cruel” this season, particularly referencing setbacks in Montreal, WEUG demonstrated the maturity and racecraft that caught Ferrari’s attention back in 2021. Her gracious words about championship winner Pin show the competitive respect that makes women’s racing compelling—hard fighting with genuine sportsmanship.
