Amna Al Qubaisi is changing the narrative. Representing MP Motorsport, Al Qubaisi is competing in the inaugural season of F1 Academy, the new, all-female racing series that officially launched last month. The 23-year-old—who was born in Washington, Va.—is the first Emirati female racing driver to compete in a championship.
This season, Amna and her younger sister, Hamda, 20, who is competing on the same F1 Academy team, have already seen success—Amna placed second in Spielberg in late April, and Hamda finished first in Valencia earlier this month.
Amna made her debut in 2018, competing in Italian F4, and has also driven in the Asian F3 Championship, Formula Regional Asian Championship and the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine.
