Léna Bühler is a Swiss racing driver who rose from BMX competition to become a standout in the F1 Academy series, where she secured the Vice Championship in 2023 with an impressive record of two wins and 13 podium finishes.

EARLY YEARS

Born on July 9, 1997, in Valeyres-sous-Montagny, Switzerland, Léna began her competitive journey in BMX at an international level before transitioning to karting in 2016. Her early motorsport development saw rapid progression, as she moved from karting to single-seaters in just four years.

EARLY SUCCESS

After making her single-seater debut in the 2020 Spanish Formula 4 Championship, Bühler achieved six top-10 finishes and demonstrated her potential by qualifying on the front row at the Circuito del Jarama. In 2021, she made history as the first female driver to compete in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine with R-ace GP, showing remarkable resilience despite missing the opening round due to injury.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2023: Secured Vice Championship in F1 Academy with two wins and 13 podium finishes.
2023: Claimed maiden F1 Academy victory at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with a lights-to-flag performance in Race 3.
2023: Earned first pole position in F1 Academy at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
2023: Achieved multiple podium finishes including P2 results at Spielberg and Valencia.
2024: Best qualifying position in FRECA at Le Castellet, securing 16th place on the grid.

REPUTATION

Bühler has established herself as a determined and resilient competitor who excels under pressure, as demonstrated by her ability to bounce back from setbacks. Her impressive 2023 F1 Academy campaign, particularly her dominant win in Barcelona after overcoming a mechanical failure in an earlier race, showcased her mental fortitude and racing skill. Her consistent podium performances throughout the season cemented her reputation as one of the top talents in women’s motorsport.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

While specific long-term goals aren’t explicitly stated, Léna appears focused on continuing her progression through the junior formula ranks toward the highest levels of motorsport. Currently competing in FRECA with ART Grand Prix, her partnership with the team suggests a shared philosophy of advancement through the motorsport ladder system.
