Nina Gademan continues with Alpine for 2026 campaign

Nina Gademan will be returning for a sophomore F1 ACADEMY season after Alpine confirmed that the Dutch racer is to continue representing the team in 2026.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a strong rookie season. Scoring her first win on home soil in Zandvoort alongside three further podium finishes in Montreal and Las Vegas, she finished sixth in the Standings.

Racing with compatriots MP Motorsport for the upcoming season, Gademan is confident that their partnership can drive both forward to challenge for the top step.

“I’m really happy to be part of the MP Motorsport family for next year”, she said. “They have been strong performers in F1 ACADEMY from the start, and it’s always an advantage to race with your home team.

“With the experience and circuit knowledge that I gained this year, I feel that I am ready to challenge for more wins and the title in 2026. The team and I aim to use the winter ahead to fully prepare ourselves for the season kick-off at Shanghai in March, when I hope you will see me fighting right at the front.”
