Alpine retain Nina Gademan for second F1 ACADEMY campaign in 2026

Alpine have announced that Nina Gademan will once again represent the French team in F1 ACADEMY, with the Dutch racer joining MP Motorsport for the 2026 season.

Finishing sixth in the Drivers’ Standings last year, Gademan earned her maiden win in the all-female series with a memorable victory on home soil in Zandvoort Race 1. In addition, she scored three further podiums with two P3 finishes in Montreal and a P2 in the Las Vegas season finale.

Excited for the new challenge ahead, Gademan is looking forward to working with her compatriots MP for the first time.

“I’m really happy to be part of the MP Motorsport family for next year”, she said. “They have been strong performers in F1 ACADEMY from the start, and it’s always an advantage to race with your home team.

“With the experience and circuit knowledge that I gained this year, I feel that I am ready to challenge for more wins and the title in 2026. The team and I aim to use the winter ahead to fully prepare ourselves for the season kick-off at Shanghai in March, when I hope you will see me fighting right at the front.”
