Racing isn’t just about speed; it’s about precision and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
Every time I step into the car, I carry the hopes of every girl who dreams of breaking barriers in a male-dominated sport.
People say I drive like I’m late for coffee. Honestly, they’re not wrong—I do have a serious caffeine addiction to fuel those podium finishes.

Alexandra Hainer is an Austrian racer who has been making her mark in motorsports since her childhood in the Tyrolean Alps, where she developed her signature fearlessness on tight corners.

EARLY YEARS

Born in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1996, Alexandra grew up in a household that blended mechanics and mathematics. Her father Josef worked as a rally car mechanic, while her mother Elke taught mathematics, giving Alexandra an upbringing she described as “surrounded by engines and equations.” By age six, she was already assisting in her father’s garage, and at seven, began competing in regional junior karting events with a modified go-kart her father built for her.

EARLY SUCCESS

Alexandra’s racing journey gained momentum at age nine when she secretly entered a youth karting championship using a borrowed helmet and placed third as the only girl competing. This achievement earned her the nickname “die kleine Rennhexe” (the little racing witch) in the local press, a moniker that followed her throughout her early career as she continued to demonstrate exceptional skill on Alpine-like circuits.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2017: Secured 3rd place in the ADAC Kart Cup Junior category in Germany[1].
2019: Scored championship points in two races during the Formula 4 UAE Championship[2].
2021: Competed in the 24H Series Dubai, finishing 10th in the SP3 class with a Porsche team[3].
2023: Participated in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, driving a BMW M240i in the Cup5 class[4].

REPUTATION

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

With her recent advancement to Formula 3 with Prema Racing, Alexandra has expressed ambitions to eventually transition to Formula 1 or the Hypercar category in WEC. Beyond competitive racing, she aims to establish a driver academy targeting underrepresented groups in motorsport, focusing on creating pathways for female racers in particular.
