F1 Academy news: 2025 grid expands as Maya Weug returns with Ferrari and Aurelia Nobels stays with PUMA

2025 is off to a strong start for women in motorsports, with PUMA and Ferrari reaffirming their long-term commitment to Aurelia Nobels and Maya Weug, respectively.

Both drivers, who raced under these partnerships in 2024, will continue their journeys with PUMA and Ferrari in the 2025 F1 Academy season.

With drivers only eligible to compete in F1 Academy for two seasons, these continued partnerships are even more significant, ensuring that talent isn’t just developed but supported beyond their time in the series.

As members of the Ferrari Driver Academy, their continued backing sends a clear message to the wider motorsport community - women in motorsports deserve long-term support to break through in a male-dominated industry.
