PREMA Racing welcomes Tina Hausmann for 2024 F1 Academy season
PREMA Racing is delighted to announce that 17-year-old Swiss racer Tina Hausmann will be driving for the team in the 2024 F1 Academy series, supported by the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One® Team.
After honing her skills at a young age in karting, Hausmann made her single-seater debut in the 2022 Formula Winter Series. For this year, she made the step to Europe’s leading Formula 4 competitions, entering the Italian F4 and Euro4 Championships.
In addition to securing her first overall points finish at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, she secured the Woman Trophy in both series.
Following her successful season, she is now set to enter the highly-acclaimed F1 Academy to further develop her talents, representing the Aston Martin F1® Team.
Rene Rosin – Team Principal
“We are extremely delighted to move one step closer to the 2024 season by announcing Tina as a driver for the upcoming series. She showed great promise moving her first steps in Formula 4, and we are convinced that with the support of our team, F1 Academy and the Aston Martin Formula One® Team, she will make more progress to become a high-profile contender.

“F1 Academy is an incredible opportunity for me; it’s an amazing series that I’m proud to be a part of. I know I’ll learn so much that will really help me as a driver, including the experience I’ll gain from racing at seven new tracks in front of big crowds. It’s going to be a whole new world, but I’m so excited to get started. Representing the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One® Team in the championship is a huge honour. My first day at the AMR Technology Campus showed me just what an incredible team it is. I am already so comfortable there and can feel everybody’s full support. Having Jessica Hawkins as a mentor is a real benefit, too; she has so much valuable advice to share. Inspiring the next generation of female drivers is something that’s incredibly important to us both. I’m also very proud to be competing with PREMA Racing. PREMA is a team that every young driver hopes to race for – they’re the best at what they do – and I know that they’ll help me develop as I continue in my motorsport career.”
