F1 Academy runner up Maya Weug will receive the opportunity to test a Ferrari 296 GT3 with AF Corse, funded by F1 Academy.

Weug, the first female driver to join the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy, drove an impressive campaign in the 2025 F1 Academy season.

Her strong performances have earned her the chance to take part in the test.

Managing Director of the F1 Academy, Susie Wolff, said: “F1 Academy is a stepping stone, not a destination.

“We continue to create opportunities that support our most talented drivers to progress.

“We are pleased to support Maya with this GT test as she explores her next steps for 2026.”

The announcement underscores F1 Academy’s mission to create clear and credible pathways for female drivers.

In collaboration with Ferrari and AF Corse, Weug’s test signifies widespread commitment and recognition for the level of talent graduating from F1 Academy.

This positive step forward will not only support Weug in her pursuit of a professional racing seat for 2026 but also help inspire the next generation of female drivers.

The Spanish born driver will take to the wheel of the Ferrari 296 GT3 on December 8, at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona.
