Nicole Havrda will be racing in American Express colours in 2025, as the F1 Academy partner announced her as their chosen driver for the upcoming season.
The 19 year old began karting on home soil in 2019, achieving first place in the Calgary Shootout alongside success in the Rotax Max Finals.
Graduating to open-wheel racing in 2022, she achieved two top five finishes in the Indian Racing League Championship.
The following year saw her make history, becoming the first female Formula Pro USA Champion as well as taking home the title in both SFR FA2 and the Formula Pro USA Winter Series.
In 2024, the Canadian competed in the Formula Regional Americas Championship, finishing sixth overall in her rookie campaign with four podiums to her name. In addition, she participated in two endurance races in an Audi R8 GT4.
I’m honoured to partner with American Express for my F1 ACADEMY debut this upcoming season, especially at the F1 Montreal Grand Prix in June. Their support fuels my drive to compete at the highest level and I’m thrilled to represent a brand that champions performance, resilience, and ambition, both on and off the track.
