Palmowski’s inclusion marks a significant milestone in her already impressive motorsport journey. She debuted in the F1 Academy earlier this year as a Wild Card entry during Round 6 in Lusail, Qatar. In a weekend that showcased her potential, Palmowski qualified sixth and fourth, finishing Race 1 in a strong fifth position.

Starting her motorsport career in karting in 2018, Palmowski quickly established herself as one to watch. She earned the Junior Vice Champion title in the Daniel Ricciardo Series in both 2020 and 2021. Her transition to cars in 2022 saw immediate results, culminating in a stellar 2023 campaign where she claimed fifth overall in the Ginetta Junior Championship with an impressive 10 podium finishes.

This year, Palmowski continued to make waves. Selected as a BRDC Rising Star, she delivered an exceptional rookie season in single seaters, finishing as Vice Champion in the GB4 Championship. Her record included three wins, two pole positions, and 11 podiums - the most of any driver on the grid.

Reflecting on her next step, Palmowski said: “I am incredibly excited and honoured to be joining the Red Bull Racing Programme in F1 Academy for 2025. Oracle Red Bull Racing is one of the best teams on the grid, and to see the talent they have brought through the doors and to get to be a part of that next generation is something that I could never have imagined.”

“We are thrilled to announce Alisha Palmowski’s partnership with Red Bull and her entry into the F1 Academy. This marks asignificant step in her career and showcases her immense talent. We’re excited to see what she will achieve in this next chapter.” – Harry Soden, InfinitySports Management.

With her undeniable talent and a world class support system now behind her, Palmowski is poised for an exciting campaign in 2025. The season promises to be another pivotal chapter in the development of one of British motorsport’s most promising young drivers.
