After claiming the F1 Academy title, Alisha Palmowski has already confirmed her plans for next season, as she continues her journey in motorsport.
Palmowski enjoyed one of the most successful campaigns in F1 Academy history. The Briton, who debuted in the penultimate round of the 2024 season, joined Campos and Red Bull Racing for her two-year stint in the series.
Across this season, the 20-year-old has claimed a podium in every round so far this season, the latest leaving her champion in Austin, with three races to spare.
Her sublime form in F1 Academy drew many eyes, but none more than Red Bull Racing. Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Milton Keynes squad announced that Palmowski would officially join its junior team programme, helping continue her journey throughout the feeder series ladder.
Additionally, Palmowski will join the FREC grid in 2027, making the step up to the series with Rodin Motorsport. Crucially, Palmowski will have the backing of both Red Bull and F1 Academy, enabling her to transition seamlessly into the higher motorsport series.
Reflecting on the milestone, Palmowski couldn’t hold back her excitement about the announcement, furthering her dreams.
“I’m so excited to continue my journey with the support of Red Bull and F1 ACADEMY behind me,” Palmowski explained.
“I’ve developed so much as a driver and as a person over the last two seasons. And the support I’ve received from Campos Racing, Red Bull and F1 ACADEMY has been incredible. It’s taken a lot of hard work to get here. I know there’s still a lot more to do, but having that belief and support behind me makes the journey clearer.
“Next season brings a new series, a new team and a fresh opportunity to test myself. Moving up the single-seater ladder has always been the goal. I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to race in Formula Regional with Rodin Motorsport.”
And that’s not all for Palmowski: she has also been confirmed as one half of Team GB at the Race of Champions in New Zealand on January 9-10 2027. She will be partnered by Red Bull-affiliated ex-F1 driver David Coulthard.
