Rachel Robertson steps up a gear as she takes on the challenge of her rookie F1 ACADEMY season representing PUMA.
Climbing into a kart for the first time three years ago, Robertson made rapid progress from indoor rental karting to competing in the 2023 British Kart Championships. Racing as the only female driver in the Senior Rotax category, she secured multiple top 10 finishes before ending the 2024 season 26th overall.
Awarded a factory drive with Radical Motorsport, the Scottish racer finished third in the 2025 Radical Cup UK campaign. Her trajectory accelerated after she clocked in back-to-back top-five times in the F1 ACADEMY Rookie Test.
Called up as a stand-in for the Las Vegas season finale, Robertson delivered under pressure with a P4 finish in Race 1 — the best result by any one-off driver in 2025. Bolstering her experience with four top-10 finishes in the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, the 18-year-old joins Hitech ready to test herself against the very best.
