  • Felbermayr returns with Audi

    Emma Felbermayr will contest her sophomore F1 Academy campaign, with the Austria racer representing Audi on the 2026 grid.

    Felbermayr is returning after finishing 10th in the Standings in a promising rookie season.
    Achieving six points scoring finishes, she delivered her maiden win in Montreal Race 2.

    She also competed in Spanish F4 and has made a three round appearance in the UAE4 Series in preparation for her second F1 Academy season.

    Inducted as the newest member of the Audi Driver Development Programme, she will benefit from the programme’s resources and expertise covering on track performance and driving and engineering development, through to human performance and media and marketing.

    The 19 year old will compete Rodin Motorsport’s lineup alongside McLaren’s Ella Lloyd and Ella Steven in the McLaren Oxagon car.

    Continuing in F1 ACADEMY and to now do so as an official Audi Revolut F1 Team driver is a huge honour. To be associated with a brand that has such an incredible motorsport history, and one that supported icons like Michèle Mouton and Rahel Frey, is truly inspiring. I am grateful for the trust being placed in me and can’t wait to sport the Audi colours on the grid, as I continue my journey in the series with Rodin Motorsport. My goal is to represent the brand with pride, build on what I learned last season, and fight for strong results.

We look forward to seeing Emma carry our colours on the grid in 2026.

  • Emma Felbermayr joins F1 Academy

    Emma Felbermayr will be making her F1 Academy debut next season, as Kick Sauber have announced that the Austrian driver will be representing them on the grid this season in her Rodin Motorsport car.

    Beginning her racing journey at 7 years old in karting, Felbermayr went on to compete in her first national race in the Micro Class the following year before progression onto the Mini Class and then Junior level.

    At 13 years old, she competed in her first international race, finishing runner-up in the 2021 ADAC Ladies Cup.
    The following year saw her step up into the Senior category, racing in the German championship, WSK races and the World Championship.

    Following a rib injury in early 2023, Felbermayr moved into the KZ category. Alongside competing in the German Championship and ADAC Kart Masters, she qualified 23rd overall out of 119 drivers.

    As part of her racing programme, the 17 year old will be participating in the 2025 Formula Winter Series and Spanish F4 Championship with Rodin.

    I’m proud and thrilled to be joining KICK Sauber F1 Team for the 2025 F1 ACADEMY season. This is an incredible opportunity to take the next step in my racing career and to challenge myself at this exciting level. I’m looking forward to representing the team, growing as a driver, and making the most of the visibility and platform F1 ACADEMY offers. I can’t wait to get started and see what we can achieve together!
