Nina Gademan lands 2025 F1 ACADEMY seat with Alpine

The 2025 F1 ACADEMY grid continues to grow, as Alpine have recruited Dutch racer Nina Gademan for next year’s campaign.

This year has seen the 21-year-old make her single-seater debut, competing in the F4 British Championship, where she scored one rookie podium at Thruxton.

Gademan has also already made her F1 ACADEMY debut, competing as the Wild Card entry for Round 4 in Zandvoort. Racing on home soil, she finished fourth in Race 1 and followed it up with an additional points finish with P10 in Race 2.

“I am incredibly proud to be representing BWT Alpine Formula One Team in the 2025 F1 Academy season," said Gademan.

"This is a moment I once thought might never come, and it is a dream come true. Having the support of a team with such an incredible legacy means the world to me.

"I am deeply grateful for Alpine’s trust and belief in me, and I can’t wait to make the 2025 season an unforgettable chapter in this journey.”

Oliver Oakes, Alpine Team Principal, added: “We are happy to have Nina coming on board as our F1 ACADEMY driver selection for the 2025 season. It was great to see her step up into single seaters at the start of 2024 and to claim points on her F1 ACADEMY debut as the wildcard in Zandvoort.

"We are excited to see what she can do in the series next year. Nina will be a fantastic addition to our line-up of junior drivers, and we look forward to working with her throughout 2025.”
