Meet the F1 ACADEMY Class of 2026 ⭐️ French driver Jade Jacquet first stepped into a go-kart in 2023, and just a year later she was already driving her first F4 car — and in her first French F4 Championship season, she finished in the top-20 in 12 of the 18 races with a best finish of 11th place. Her impressive performances earned her a drive in the F1 ACADEMY rookie test, where her seventh-fastest time secured her spot in the Williams Racing Driver Academy. Driving for ART Grand Prix and representing Atlassian Williams F1 Team, 16-year-old Jacquet is looking to continue her rapid rise in motorsport with a dominant performance in her rookie F1 Academy season. 📸: Atlassian Williams F1 Team, Bell Helmets #WomenInMotorsport #F1Academy
