The BWT Alpine Formula One Team has announced Nina Gademan as their nominated driver for their 2025 F1 Academy campaign.
The young Dutch driver previously raced in the series this year, earning a spot as the Round 4 Wild Card driver in Zandvoort.
She finished fourth in Race 1, securing the best finish for a Wild Card driver in F1 Academy, and tenth in Race 2.
Gademan earned 13 points in her debut F1 Academy weekend, cementing herself as a prime candidate for a full-time seat.
The 21-year-old driver has a strong background in karting, winning the FIA Motorsport Games Slalom Cup in 2019 for Team Netherlands.
Gademan shared: “I am incredibly proud to be representing BWT Alpine Formula One Team in the 2025 F1 Academy season.
“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.”
She made an impressive single-seater debut earlier this year, driving in British Formula 4, earning a podium at Round 4 in Thruxton.
Gademan is set to compete in the Formula Winter Series for Hitech GP before making her F1 Academy debut next year.
The Formula Winter Series takes place from January 30 to March 9, racing in Portimão, Valencia, Aragon, and Barcelona.
Team Principal Oliver Oakes said: “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.”
