The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team™ is proud to announce that 17-year-old German racing talent Mathilda Paatz will represent the team as its driver for the 2026 F1 Academy season. Mathilda, a rising star from Cologne, will compete with PREMA Racing in the fourth season of the all-female series, sporting the iconic green Aston Martin Aramco livery.

PREMA Racing will be competing in the 2025 Formula Trophy championship with a three-car lineup. The F4-based series, which expanded the previous single-race format in 2024, returns for its second season with a three-round calendar beginning this weekend at Dubai Autodrome.

In the United Arab Emirates, numerous drivers took part in the fifth and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program, confirming the success of the series and its "arrive and drive" concept. The objective of complete sporting fairness was once again achieved, allowing drivers to make their mark in a high-level competition, organised with rigour and professionalism by RGMMC.

Atlassian Williams Racing is pleased to share that Williams Racing Academy Driver Oleksandr Bondarev will be racing in the FIA Italian Formula 4 Championship and E4 Championship with PREMA Racing in 2026, challenging for the Formula 4 title in his second year.
 

On the occasion of the third and final round of the championship held in Lonato del Garda, the Tony Kart Racing 401 T wins the title in the OK category with Jindrich Pesl, who finished second in the Sunday afternoon's final.
