Aurelia Nobels returns to the F1 Academy grid in 2025 with PUMA and ART Grand Prix.
Aurelia Nobels Becomes the Eleventh 2025 F1 Academy Entrant
Now that we are into 2025, the F1 Academy grid is finalising its shape ready for its opening race in Shanghai between March 21 to 23.
Aurelia Nobels joins the grid again with PUMA and ART Grand Prix as the latest confirmed driver.
After making her F1 Academy debut in 2024, Nobels has established herself as a promising talent in the series.
This will be her final year. Drivers are given a two-year limit to allow new drivers to compete. This also gives more experienced drivers room to move on to other relevant series’ of their choosing.

Her Future Potential
Nobels’ motorsport journey began in Brazilian F4 in 2022, where she finished 16th with 7 points.
The junior won the Girls On Track – Rising Stars program in December of that same year.
Much like Maya Weug, who received the same award in 2020, she was awarded a place in the Ferrari Driver Academy.
She then moved on to the Italian F4 and Euro 4 Championships in 2023. Her performances in both series’ led her to join F1 Academy in 2024.
Her progression was evident in the 2024 season, where she secured six points-scoring finishes. This includes a standout fifth-place finish in Zandvoort Race 2, highlighting her growing potential.
Drivers such as Nobels are what F1 Academy is about – fostering young talent with much-needed track time and support. She finished 12th overall in the championship.
Her determination to improve in 2025 is palpable. As she returns to ART Grand Prix for the upcoming season, the 18-year-old will be joined by Williams’ Lia Block and Haas newcomer Courtney Crone.
With ART Grand Prix’s track record and Nobels’ continued development, expectations are high for the Brazilian to challenge for even greater success in 2025.
