REPUTATION
Colombo has earned a reputation for her calm leadership under pressure and her ability to keep her team focused forward rather than dwelling on past success. Her management philosophy emphasizes looking ahead rather than in the rearview mirror—a mindset that’s proven crucial in maintaining PREMA’s dominant position in F1 Academy. She’s known for her measured, thoughtful approach to team strategy and her genuine praise for her drivers and crew when victories are hard-earned. In the 2024 championship-deciding race at Abu Dhabi, she admitted she “never thought to win until the last lap,” revealing both her realistic assessment of competitive situations and her ability to trust her drivers in high-stakes moments. Her leadership style has helped PREMA Racing remain single-minded in their goal to retain championship titles while managing the expectations that come with being the team everyone wants to beat.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
As of late 2024, PREMA Racing was yet to confirm its full driver lineup alongside Doriane Pin for the 2025 F1 Academy season, suggesting Colombo’s immediate focus involves strategic team-building decisions for the upcoming championship defense[4].
