ART GP sign Carrie Schreiner for F1 Academy

ART Grand Prix have roped in young German racer Carrie Schreiner as their second driver for the F1 Academy championship. Schreiner will partner Léna Büher, who has already been announced as an ART Grand Prix team driver.

The German driver, who is the first female racer to win the ADAC Kart Masters in the X30 Junior category, took part in the Italian GP Championship with AF Corse in 2020 and in the 24H Series with Plusline Racing last year. She also has taken part in multiple Nürburgring 24 Hours series, winning it in 2021. 

Carrie Schreiner commented:

“It’s a great honour to be driving for the ART Grand Prix. Not many teams have the amount of records they do, or have been champion so many times. I am proud to be joining the list of their drivers and excited about what we can achieve together. I think it’s an important step that F1 has its own championship for women. It will certainly be fun to drive the car with the new aero and with a team like ART. I have the best requirements I need to perform well. I will give everything to achieve the best results and compete for front positions.“

Sébastien Philippe, Team Principal, ART Grand Prix, said:

“I’m happy to welcome Carrie into our team, her experience and technical background will be important pillars for building a strong career in the new F1 Academy championship. She has already proven that she can adapt to some very different championships and I have no doubt she will find her feet right from the start of the season.“
