Currently 23 years old, the Spanish driver makes this career move with the support of the F1 Academy, which aims to create a path for women to reach Formula 1 in the future.
García will once again compete against men, after four seasons in exclusively female championships – three in the W Series and one in the F1 Academy. Before that, she competed in the Spanish Formula 4 in 2016 and 2017, as well as the SMP Formula 4 in 2017.
The Spanish driver stated in a press release that she is aware of the great challenge and work that lies ahead in order to achieve success in this new stage of her career: ‘I am very excited and thrilled to compete in FRECA next year. Coming from the F1 Academy will be a big step. We know that we will have to work hard with the team to succeed, but I am determined to do well. I cannot thank the F1 Academy enough, it is such a fantastic initiative and it is the right way to do it, trying to bring the drivers with the best results to the top. What an incredible opportunity, I am looking forward to it and the work we have ahead, on and off the track’.
