RACHEL ROBERTSON Steps Into F1 Academy at Vegas After AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS Injury

November 4, 2025

• RACHEL ROBERTSON gets her shot at the F1 Academy finale in Vegas after AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS broke her foot before Singapore – and honestly, this is exactly how breakthrough moments happen in women’s racing. The 18-year-old Scot already proved she belongs by testing the Hitech TGR car in Bahrain, so this isn’t some random substitution.
• Robertson’s rapid rise tells us everything about untapped talent in our sport. She went from British karting in 2022 straight to third place in Radical Cup UK this year, then earned her F1 Academy rookie test spot through actual merit via a scholarship shootout. Meanwhile, she’s been cutting her single-seater teeth in Saudi F4, bouncing back from a rough debut to score her first top-ten.
• ANAGNOSTIADIS showed real promise in her rookie F1 Academy season before the injury derailed everything – eighth place finishes in Shanghai and Montreal prove she can run with this field. The Australian’s potential 2026 return gives us something to watch for, but right now it’s Robertson’s moment to seize in the bright lights of Vegas.
