Tina Hausmann started in karting at the age of seven and started in car in 2023, in the Formula Winter Series. At the same time, she won the women's category in F4 Italy.

“The F1 Academy is an incredible opportunity for me; it's an extraordinary series that I'm proud to be part of, declared the young 17-year-old pilot. I know I will learn a lot of things that will really help me as a driver, including the experience I will gain racing at seven new circuits in front of big crowds. It will be a whole new world, but I can't wait to get started. Representing Aston Martin is a great honor. »

The Swiss will be supported by Jessica Hawkins – who became the first woman in five years to drive a modern Formula 1 car – who becomes Race Manager for Aston Martin in F1 Academy, working closely with Tina Hausmann in a mentoring role to provide support on and off the track.
