>Alba Hurup Larsen and Niccolo Maccagnani have been announced as joining the Ferrari Driver Academy at the start of next year.
>Larsen is not new to Ferrari, as she won the senior final in the fourth edition of the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission’s FDA-affiliated Girls on Track Rising Stars programme in 2023.
>She was up against three other drivers in that final, who were competing to win a paid-for 2024 Formula 4 seat with Iron Lynx as well as entry into an FDA scouting shootout. However the announcement of her victory mentioned neither, and instead said the “FDA will monitor her progress next season on visits to Maranello”.
>Her paid-for transition from karting to F4 came with MP Motorsport instead when she did the first two rounds of the 2024 Indian F4 season and had a best finish of sixth.
>In 2023 she had karted in Europe, coming 64th in IAME Series Italy’s X30 Junior standings, 12th in the Danish Karting League’s X30 Jr series, winning a regional championhip in Zealand and receiving mentorship from Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen.
>Larsen has raced for three teams in F4 this year. She began with Jenzer Motorsport, contesting three quarters of the Formula Winter Series season and coming 32nd in the standings, then returned to MP for the all-female F1 Academy championship. In the F1 support paddock the 16-year-old Dane has had a best finish of fourth so far, and sits sixth in the points table.
>Alongside that she is racing part-time for Chris Dittmann Racing in British F4, and is currently 22nd in the standings.
