The road to success in motorsport begins with passion, talent, and resilience - qualities that define Aurelia Nobels, one of the brightest stars of the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy. From her earliest memories in karting to representing Ferrari, her journey reflects the global spirit and ambition that fuels modern motorsport.
A Tearful Start, A Lifelong Passion
"Before getting into a kart for the first time I started crying and didn’t want to go. Then I had fun and asked my dad to find a team so I could do it as a job."
That emotional first moment at the wheel marked the beginning of a journey that would take Aurelia from hesitant to fierce competitor, driven by love for the sport and a dream to race professionally.
A Global Story, A Singular Focus
Born in Boston to Belgian parents and raised in Brazil, Aurelia brings a rich multicultural background to the track. This diverse upbringing shapes her perspective, resilience, and adaptability - essential traits in the intensely competitive world of motorsport.
A real Rising Star
In 2022, Aurelia’s talent was recognised on the world stage when she won the FIA Women in Motorsport’s "Girls on Track – Rising Stars" programme. This prestigious achievement secured her a place in the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy, marking her as one of the sport’s most promising young drivers and a symbol of what’s possible for women in racing.
A Touch of Heart
Even in the heat of competition, Aurelia stays grounded. She never races without her mother’s bracelet, a personal lucky charm that keeps her connected to her roots and her support system.
