Rafaela Ferreira made history on home soil and now the Brazilian rising star will be looking to use it as a springboard to success in F1 ACADEMY.
The first woman to score a pole position in the 2022 Copa Brasil de Kart, Ferreira continued to make waves on her move into single-seaters the following year. In front of her compatriots, she claimed her maiden podium in the F4 Brazilian Championship at the Interlagos Circuit during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend — making her the first woman to earn a podium finish in the series.
Returning for a second campaign in 2024, the 19-year-old broke new ground as their first female winner, eventually winding up fourth in the Championship with three wins, two poles and a further seven podiums to her name.
Racing outside South America for the first time, Ferreira will be set on netting more silverware, driving the #18 RB car operated by Campos Racing.
