FULL BIO: Luna Fluxa
Luna Fluxa is a Spanish karting sensation who made history as the first female driver in the Mercedes AMG F1 Team’s Junior Programme and recently became the first woman to win an FIA international championship in nearly 60 years.
EARLY YEARS
Born on August 9, 2010, in Mallorca, Spain, Luna began her racing journey in 2017 through the ‘programa mujer y motor’, an initiative by the Spanish Automobile Federation designed to attract more females to motorsport. Coming from a family with strong racing roots, her older brother Lorenzo competes in the European Le Mans Series and Euroformula Open, while her younger brother Lucas races in Spanish F4.
EARLY SUCCESS
After starting in 2017, Luna quickly rose through the Spanish karting ranks and expanded to international competition. In 2021, she won the IAME Euro Series in the X30 Mini category, accumulating 303 points. Her impressive performances caught the attention of the Mercedes AMG F1 Team, leading to her historic selection for their Junior Programme in 2022, making her the first female driver in the team’s development pipeline.

- 2024: Joined the Iron Dames talent roster while maintaining support from Mercedes AMG F1 Team[5].
REPUTATION
At just 14 years old, Luna has established herself as one of the most exciting young talents in karting. Her historic achievement of becoming the first female FIA international champion since Susanna ‘Susy’ Raganelli in 1966 has cemented her reputation as a groundbreaking talent. With support from both Mercedes AMG F1 Team and Iron Dames, she represents a new generation of female racers breaking barriers in motorsport through consistent performance and remarkable racecraft.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
With her continued development under the Mercedes AMG F1 Team’s Junior Programme and as part of the Iron Dames project, Luna is expected to progress to single-seaters, potentially following in her brother Lorenzo’s footsteps. The combined support from these prestigious organizations positions her for advancement through the motorsport ladder in the coming years.
