• MAYA WEUG is making a calculated return to Formula Regional European Championship at Hungaroring with Saintéloc Racing, stepping into the #50 seat vacated by injured Tim Gerhards. The Ferrari Driver Academy star brings serious momentum from her F1 Academy campaign, where she started 2025 with four straight podiums and a win in Jeddah before technical gremlins in Montreal cost her the championship lead.
• This isn’t WEUG’s first FRECA rodeo – she proved herself in 2023 with a strong rookie campaign that included points at Spa, Mugello, Le Castellet, and Monza, plus a rookie win that landed her third in rookie standings. Her 2024 F1 Academy debut delivered three podiums and a season-ending victory in Abu Dhabi, setting up her current title fight where every race matters.
• The strategic timing here is smart – WEUG gets valuable seat time in a competitive single-seater while maintaining her F1 Academy championship push with Ferrari’s backing. At 21, she’s maximizing every opportunity to build the resume that could take her beyond the current ladder systems, and this Hungaroring appearance keeps her sharp across multiple championships.
