GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • RAFAELA FERREIRA, VCARB’s F1 Academy driver, is getting custom apparel designed by Daniel Ricciardo through his Enchanté clothing line. This partnership emerged from Ricciardo’s ongoing relationship with Red Bull after his F1 exit, showing how his connections are opening doors for the next generation of talent.
  • Ricciardo’s transition from F1 driver to mentor and business partner demonstrates the potential for retired drivers to actively support rising female talent. His “Don’t sell out” philosophy with Enchanté means FERREIRA gets authentic, thoughtfully designed gear rather than generic merchandise.
  • The collaboration highlights F1 Academy’s growing profile when established figures like Ricciardo invest their post-racing energy into the series. While his own fairy tale ending didn’t materialize, Ricciardo is helping write new chapters for drivers like FERREIRA who represent the sport’s future.

UPCOMING:

  • F1 Academy 2025 Season
  • VCARB Development Program
