Aiva Anagnostiadis is a groundbreaking 17-year-old Australian racing talent who rose from karting roots to earn a coveted spot in the 2025 F1 Academy grid with TAG Heuer and Hitech Grand Prix, becoming one of motorsport’s most promising female drivers.

EARLY YEARS

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Aiva grew up immersed in motorsport culture. Her mother was a competitive racer and her father owned a kart shop, creating the perfect environment for nurturing racing talent[1]. At just six years old, she experienced her first pivotal moment behind the wheel of her mother’s go-kart, igniting a passion that would define her future[4][5]. The family’s dedication to supporting her dreams was extraordinary – they eventually sold their home and relocated overseas to further her racing career[1].

EARLY SUCCESS

Starting her competitive karting journey at age six, the young Australian quickly demonstrated exceptional natural talent on the track[3][4]. Her early racing years were spent honing skills at local Australian competitions, where she consistently outperformed expectations and began building a reputation as a rising star. The foundation built during these formative racing years – the technical knowledge absorbed from her father’s shop and the competitive spirit inherited from her mother – prepared her for increasingly challenging competition as she progressed through the ranks of junior motorsport[1][4][5].

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2021: Won the Australian Ladies Trophy at the Australian Kart Championship[5].
2022: Represented Australia at the Motorsport Games in France[5].
2023: Selected for the prestigious Alpine Rac(H)er Academy Programme[5].
2024: Finished 10th overall in the Indian F4 Championship[5].
2024: Competed in the Formula Winter Series in Europe[5].
2025: Secured a spot on the F1 Academy grid with TAG Heuer, operated by Hitech Grand Prix[5].

REPUTATION

Aiva has established herself as one of motorsport’s most promising young female talents, known for her natural speed, technical understanding, and unwavering determination. Her selection for the Alpine Rac(H)er Academy – an elite program designed to accelerate women’s progression in racing – speaks volumes about her potential within the industry[1][2]. Competitors and observers respect her smooth transition from karting to single-seaters, where she’s demonstrated impressive adaptability and race craft. The decision by TAG Heuer to support her F1 Academy campaign underscores the brand’s recognition of her as a driver who embodies “innovation and performance”[5]. Beyond her driving abilities, she’s gaining recognition as an inspirational figure for young women looking to break into racing.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

For 2025, Aiva is focused on maximizing her opportunity in the F1 Academy, aiming to secure podium finishes and establish herself as a championship contender while driving the #11 TAG Heuer car for Hitech Grand Prix[1][3][4]. Beyond this season, she has expressed ambitions to climb further up the single-seater ladder, with long-term goals of reaching Formula 1 – motorsport’s pinnacle. Equally important in her future plans is becoming a flag-bearer for women in motorsport, using her platform to inspire the next generation of female racers and prove that talent and determination aren’t gendered[1][4]. Through both her racing performances and public profile, she aims to transform what young girls perceive as possible in professional racing.
