Ferrari confirm 2026 signing as racer set to compete in THREE series at once
Ferrari have confirmed Alba Larsen as their representative for the 2026 F1 Academy season, following Maya Weug’s campaign where she narrowly missed the title to Doriane Pin.
The F1 Academy rules allow drivers to participate for only two seasons, serving as a crucial stepping stone for women in motorsport at the Formula 4 level.
Larsen, who signed with Ferrari’s driver academy in August, will have a packed schedule in 2026, competing in series like the F4 UAE Championship and F4 British Championship.
Despite finishing seventh in the 2025 season, Larsen’s experience and support from MP Motorsport will give her an edge as she eyes her first podium.
Excited about the opportunity, Larsen expressed her honor in racing for Ferrari, her favorite team since childhood, and is determined to give her all for the Scuderia. “Bet on red!” she exclaimed.
