Moroccan champion Sofia Zanfari, 18, is one of six female drivers competing in the 2025 French F4 Championship. At the fourth round of the season, on the Magny-Cours circuit, she managed to climb onto the second step of the women's podium for the first time in Race 1.

Considered one of the best French kart drivers of his generation, Andy Consani has just made his debut in the FIA-certified French F4 Championship. The youngest driver on the grid made his first-ever start from pole position after a perfectly controlled Qualifying session in difficult rainy conditions. For Andy, the Easter Cup at Nogaro also included a first podium finish, this time on a dry track. It's clear that in 2025, we'll have to watch out for the hopeful chosen by Mercedes-AMG F1 to be part of its development programme for young drivers.

Two months after the official announcement of her debut in the FIA-certified French Formula 4 Championship, Sofia Zanfari has just celebrated her very first podium finish. The 18-year-old Moroccan champion has proved her ability to adapt and her budding talent, already spotted during her rise through the karting ranks. After an extremely promising first meeting organised during the Easter Cup at the Nogaro circuit in the south of France, Sofia is already ready to take on new challenges within the prestigious FFSA Academy.

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is delighted to announce its Junior Programme line-up for 2025. This year, the programme expands to include twelve talented young drivers, competing across various categories from karting to FIA Formula 3.

After a remarkable rise in international karting, Sofia Zanfari is taking on a new challenge by proudly joining the FFSA Academy to compete in the 2025 French Formula 4 Championship. At just 18 years of age, the Moroccan driver is aiming to reach the highest levels of motorsport.
