🇪🇸 Maya Weug

Maya Weug is an entry-level professional competing in single-seater formula racing. FIA Silver-graded, she races across multiple formula championships including F1 Academy, where she competes in its R1, R2, and R3 classes for MP Motorsport. Over five seasons from 2021 to 2025, she has started 96 races across Italian F4, ADAC Formula 4, Formula Regional European, and F1 Academy, accumulating four wins and 17 podiums.[1]

Her record centres on F1 Academy, where she has taken 17 of her 18 career podiums across 27 starts, including four wins in the multiclass international championship. In formula racing outside that series, she has struggled to convert appearances into results; her seasons in Italian F4 and Formula Regional European produced no podiums from 29 combined starts. Against the regular opposition in her earlier formula seasons, she typically finished behind Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the generational driver and multiple champion, and Nikita Bedrin, a professional with 40 Formula 3 starts. She has on occasion beaten both; she finished ahead of Antonelli four times and ahead of Arvid Lindblad, an elite professional, in three races.[2]

Her F1 Academy success has come in a field that includes drivers with substantial single-seater pedigree, among them several with high-level formula experience and graded professional credentials. Within that context, her podium rate and wins place her among the stronger competitors in the championship, though her limited returns from formula racing outside F1 Academy suggest those results reflect the specific environment of that series rather than a consistent pattern across all formula competition.
