A rapid climb up the racing ranks sees Rachel Robertson make her F1 ACADEMY debut in the showstopping Las Vegas season finale.
Climbing into a kart for the first time three years ago, Robertson progressed very quickly from indoor karting to competing in the 2023 British Kart Championships (BKC). Fuelling her competitive spirit, the Scottish racer became the only female driver in the Senior Rotax class in the 2024 BKC, scoring multiple top-10 results and finishing 26th in the Standings.
Awarded a factory drive with Radical Motorsport, sponsored by Wera Tools, for the 2025 Radical Cup UK campaign, Robertson went on to finish third overall. One of 18 drivers selected to participate in the inaugural F1 ACADEMY Rookie Test, the 18-year-old achieved back-to-back top-five finishes in both sessions at the Circuito de Navarra.
Driving the #56 TAG Heuer operated by Hitech TGR car, Robertson will step in for Aiva Anagnostiadis, who will miss Round 7 due to an injury.
