“I am proud to represent this team and the Sauber Academy in F1 Academy this year,” said Schreiner. “After an exciting first season, I'm looking forward to getting back to work. Sauber has an impressive motorsport history and I want to play my part in continuing its success story in F1 Academy.
“My goal for this season is only one: to win, and to do so flying the flag for the team, while generating more awareness for women in motorsport. F1 Academy is a great platform to realise my ambitions, and I am highly motivated to achieve new milestones with our team and Campos Racing.”
Beginning her racing career in 2011, she became the first and, so far, only female driver to secure the X30 Junior Championship title in the 2012 ADAC Kart Masters. After graduating to single-seaters in 2015, she made the switch to GT Racing two years later.
In 2018, she secured titles in both the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East Pro-Am class and the DMV Gran Turismo Touring Car Cup – Class 1. Further success followed when she won the SP8 class in the 2021 ADAC 24 Hours of Nürburgring alongside finishing fifth in the Italian GT Championship GT3 Pro-Am Class Sprint Standings.
