Nina Gademan

Nina Gademan has found a new home with compatriots MP Motorsport and it’s a partnership she hopes will propel her to the top step once again in 2026.

Born in Wijster in the Netherlands, Gademan started karting in 2018 when she was selected as a finalist for the 2019 Girls On Track Le Mans Shootout and one year later, she won gold in the Karting Slalom Cup in the FIA Motorsport Games.

Since then, Gademan has taken the rookie honours in the PTC Cup and finished second in the TB class of the 2022 24 Hours of Zolder, as part of an all-female line-up. Shifting up a gear, the Dutch made her single-seater debut in the 2024 F4 British Championship, securing her first rookie podium during Round 4 at Thruxton. Her first impression in F1 ACADEMY was no less impressive, becoming the first Wild Card driver to score points.

Progressing to a full-time seat with Alpine for the 2025 season, she battled back from injury to finish sixth in the Standings with four podium finishes — including an emotional maiden victory in Zandvoort Race 1. She’ll be hoping her podiums over winter break in the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship set a trend for the season to come. Away from the track, the 22-year-old is a well-known esports content creator.
