The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is delighted to announce its Junior Programme line-up for 2025. This year, the programme expands to include twelve talented young drivers, competing across various categories from karting to FIA Formula 3.

After a remarkable rise in international karting, Sofia Zanfari is taking on a new challenge by proudly joining the FFSA Academy to compete in the 2025 French Formula 4 Championship. At just 18 years of age, the Moroccan driver is aiming to reach the highest levels of motorsport.

Suleiman Zanfari has set up his Academy at the S1 Speedway circuit in Marrakech, for youngsters aged between 5 and 16. As Morocco's best current kart driver and one of tomorrow's greatest motorsport hopefuls, Suleiman has all the credentials needed to support the training of young people.

Predictable costs and an attractive sporting environment: the ADAC is continuing its development programme in Formula racing in the 2024 season. The ADAC Formula 4 Junior Team will again start in Formula 4 France next year. In cooperation with the FFSA Academy, four young drivers will have the chance to secure one of the coveted seats.

The ADAC Formula Junior Team will be travelling to Nogaro for the season-opener in the French Formula 4 championship from 8th to 10th April. Max Reis (Ramstein) will mark the start of his second year at the 3.6-kilometre circuit in south-western France, while Tom Kalender (Hamm/Sieg) and Finn Wiebelhaus (Obertshausen) will be celebrating their racing debuts in the Formula 4 car.
