Danielsson, who competed internationally in F4 CEZ in 2026, was selected earlier this year as one of six drivers for the organisation's development programme, whose goal is to help women become F1 champions.

She later got the chance in the F1 Academy's annual rookie test.

There she was one of the fastest - which means that at the end of October she will get the chance at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, USA. Danielsson will thus become the first Swede to compete in a formula car during an F1 weekend.

"It feels absolutely amazing. It will be an experience I will never forget and one to build on," she says in a press release.

Corrected version: Previous version contained an error about which car Danielsson will drive. She will drive a formula car.
