Danke, Carrie! Carrie Schreiner to become Team Brand Ambassador
Hinwil, 9 December 2024 – KICK Sauber F1 Team driver, Carrie Schreiner, will be taking on a new role with the team at the conclusion of her F1 Academy campaign, as she is appointed Team Brand Ambassador. Leaving the series after two seasons, the experienced German will remain part of the team’s racing family, while transitioning into the new role from 2025 onwards, as well as continuing her racing career.
Carrie flew the team’s flag in the F1 Academy series in 2024, the latest chapter in a motorsport journey that began in 2011 with the ADAC Kart Masters, where she quickly rose to prominence by winning the 2012 X30 Junior Championship—the first and only female driver to do so to date. Transitioning to single-seaters in 2015, she competed in German and British Formula 4, securing multiple Top Ten finishes. Carrie then moved to GT racing in 2017, excelling in series such as the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, ADAC GT Masters, and the iconic 24 Hours of Nürburgring – with her 2018 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East Pro-Am title and a class victory at the 2021 24 Hours of Nürburgring as the most prominent highlights.
In 2023, Carrie made the move to the inaugural F1 Academy season, where she continued for a consecutive campaign, representing KICK Sauber F1 Team in the all-female series. Now, a new chapter opens for the German driver, who will bring her passion, racing expertise, and inspiring journey to the forefront as she steps into her new role, promoting the team’s values all around the world, while mentoring the next generation of motorsport talent in parallel with her continuing motorsport career.
Mattia Binotto, COO & CTO, Sauber Motorsport: “We are delighted to keep Carrie, whom we got to know so well in her current role with the team, as an integral part of our racing family, as she takes on a new role as Team Brand Ambassador. With her on-track achievements across several motorsport series, as well as her attitude and passion, I have no doubt she will bring the same energy to her new role. Carrie’s ability to inspire and connect with fans and stakeholders alike, together with her understanding of racing, make her the perfect fit to support the team starting from 2025.”
Carrie Schreiner, Team Brand Ambassador: “I’m truly proud to take on this new role as Team Brand Ambassador. It’s an honour to continue being part of this incredible team – which has now become my racing family – and to contribute to its success in new ways. I look forward to supporting the team’s mission, engaging with our fans and partners, while helping inspire the next generation of motorsport talent. I’m excited for what’s in store for 2025 and beyond and I am looking forward to getting started.”
