The 19-year-old has been signed to race for Prema in 2024, and as the Ferrari representative, Weug will be racing in the colours of the Ferrari F1 team.
As a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, a place on the F1 Academy grid is a logical next step for Weug’s career, which has so far seen her compete in the Italian and ADAC Formula 4 championships for the Iron Lynx and Iron Dames teams in 2021 and ’22. A move to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2023 yielded several points finishes in a highly competitive field.
Weug’s announcement completes the Prema line-up for 2024, the Ferrari driver joins Doriane Pin and Tina Hausmann in the three-driver team.
“I’m super excited to get back on track this season!” Weug said. “I’m sure it will be a great season working together with such a prestigious team as Prema in the second year of an interesting category like F1 Academy.
