Meet the f1academy Class of 2026 ⭐️

American paytonwestcott’s motorsport journey started at age six and quickly grew into something amazing.

As the first F1 ACADEMY DISCOVER YOUR DRIVE karter to move into a full-time seat in the series, Westcott is making big moves. The 17-year-old achieved her maiden podium in Shanghai, driving her mercedesamgf1 sponsored prema_team livery to third place in Race 2.

She made her move to European karting in 2024, followed by a move to single-seaters in 2025. Payton’s third-place finish at the inaugural F1 ACADEMY Rookie Test resulted in a wild card entry in Las Vegas, where she secured a P6 finish.

Outside of F1 Academy, Westcott is racing in the F4 Italian and Euro 4 Championships with r.ace.gp.

You can catch Westcott racing in Montreal in 16 days! 🇨🇦🏎️
