Career

[edit | edit source]

Karting

[edit | edit source]

Felbermayr made her international karting debut in 2019, racing for Solgat Motorsport in the OKJ class of the Trofeo Delle Industrie.[2] Continuing in OKJ until 2021, Felbermayr finished 8th in both the ADAC Kart Masters and second in the Ladies Cup in her final year in the category.[3] Stepping up to OK for the following year, Felbermayr's main highlights were a ninth place in the 2022 German Karting Championship and a ninth-place finish in the South Garda Winter Cup in 2023 before stepping up to KZ2 that same year.[4][5] After competing in the Karting World Cup and WSK Final Cups,[6] Felbermayr stayed in KZ2 for 2024,[7] during which she finished 31st in the Trofeo Andrea Margutti.[8]

Formula 4

[edit | edit source]

On the same day as her F1 Academy announcement, Rodin Motorsport announced that Felbermayr would also compete in the Spanish F4 and Eurocup-4 Winter Championships.[9]

In the first round of the Eurocup-4 Winter Championship, Felbermayr finished 28th and 20th in the first two races, but after starting 24th for race three, she took advantage of crashes ahead and post-race penalties to be classified 13th in the final race of the weekend.[10] She was unable to better this result in the following round, and finished the championship in 27th overall, the highest placed female driver.[11]

In the main Spanish F4 campaign, Felbermayr's season began slowly with a best result of 22nd in MotorLand Aragón,[12] but steady progression during the third round in Portimão saw her finish 15th in race three.[13]

F1 Academy

[edit | edit source]

On December 17, 2024, Kick Sauber announced that Felbermayr would be representing the team in the 2025 F1 Academy season, joining Rodin Motorsport alongside Ella Lloyd and Chloe Chong.[14]

Felbermayr qualified seventh on debut in Shanghai,[15] but finished 11th on debut after colliding with Tina Hausmann on the final lap after starting second in the reverse-grid race.[16] In the second race of the weekend, Felbermayr finished fifth to score her maiden points of the year, but was left "expecting more" after having done well in pre-event tests.[17] In Jeddah, Felbermayr finished ninth in the sprint race despite starting on reverse grid pole,[18] whilst in the feature race, Felbermayr ran eighth in the opening stages but contact with Rafaela Ferreira sent her out of the points and was only able to muster a 15th-place finish.[19]

After a disappointing Miami round where she finished 15th in the sprint race after taking reverse-grid pole and race two was cancelled due to adverse weather,[20][21] Felbermayr took her first podium in the opening race in Montreal, but was later disqualified because her car was underweight.[22] However, she went on to take her maiden single-seater win in the following race after overtaking Nina Gademan on the final lap,[23] and capped off the weekend by finishing tenth in race three.[24]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Felbermayr's family owns the Felbermayr (de) construction and transport company, and is steeped in motorsport heritage. Her late grandfather Horst and father Horst Jr. have entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans multiple times, while her older brother Horst Felix currently competes in the Michelin Le Mans Cup.[25]

Felbermayr is in a relationship with 2018 European Karting Champion Hannes Janker, ten years her senior.[26][better source needed]
