Still only 18, Melbourne-born Aiva Anagnostiadis has already carved out a standout path in international motorsport.
After a rapid rise through competitive karting, Aiva competed in the F1 Academy during the 2025 season, racing on the global stage and cementing her reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting young drivers.
In 2023, Aiva was selected for the prestigious Alpine Rac(H)er Academy, a milestone that saw her and her family relocate to the UK to fully commit to her racing career. Her progression since has been defined by focus, resilience and long-term ambition.
Following her recovery from an ankle injury that saw her miss the final two rounds of the 2025 F1 Academy season, Aiva has officially announced her return to racing in the 2026 Italian GT4 Championship, becoming the first Australian woman to compete in the category.
The next chapter of her career marks an exciting new step onto the international GT stage as she continues building experience across global motorsport.
Beyond the track, Aiva remains deeply committed to supporting the next generation, actively mentoring young girls in karting and proudly role-modelling what’s possible for women in motorsport.
Aiva is available for media, PR opportunities and aligned brand partnerships as she enters this exciting new phase of her racing career in 2026.
