Kick Sauber’s Emma Felbermayr is preparing for her first season of single-seaters with Rodin Motorsport alongside Lloyd and 2023 returnee Chloe Chong. Rookies Alba Larsen and Joanne Ciconte are getting behind the wheel for MP Motorsport, with Racing Bulls’ Rafaela Ferreira completing an all-Red Bull Academy Programme supported trio at Campos Racing.
As last season’s Vice Champion, Doriane Pin will be looking to stake her claim on the title with Mercedes, whilst Maya Weug dons the Ferrari race suits once again after her third-place finish in 2024.
This pair are hotly-tipped to be two of the leading protagonists, but with familiar names such as Chloe Chambers, Lia Block, Aurelia Nobels and Tina Hausmann also back for a second year, you can’t count out any of the returnees at this early stage.
