Ava Lawrence
At just 11 years old, Australian-born Ava Lawrence has established herself as a rising force in international karting.
Competing across Rotax, IAME and FIA-aligned categories, she has claimed multiple podium finishes and broken new ground as the first female MENA Cup Champion, the first female winner of a Mini race in ROK Cup Italy and the first female driver to reach the podium in the Mini class of the Champions of the Future Academy.
Ava, who races under an Emirati licence, was recently selected to represent F1 ACADEMY DISCOVER YOUR DRIVE in this year's British Champions of the Future Academy (COTFA) Program having also been chosen to represent the initiative over the previous two seasons in the international series.
It's going to be a huge step in making me a better driver. I'm really looking forward to meeting different people in the team and learning from them.
