ABU DHABI: Ahead of its debut season in the Formula 4 UAE competition, Yas Heat Racing Academy has announced the signing of Hamda Al-Qubaisi, with the young Emirati driver joining the Yas Marina Circuit-based team for its inaugural season.
As the youngest daughter in the Al-Qubaisi racing family, following in the footsteps of her father Khaled and sister Amna, the next step in her promising career will see her join the Yas Heat Racing team for the 2023 F4 UAE season, following the team’s debut at the 2022 AbuDhabi GP.
The trailblazing 20-year-old joins after a historic start in the Formula 4 category, having began her career as the first female driver hailing from the Emirates to compete in the F4 UAE Championship at the 2019 AbuDhabi GP weekend.
In recent years, Al-Qubaisi has experienced success on the international stage, scoring points in the Formula 4 Italian Championship at Misano in 2021, before stepping up into Formula 3 in the Formula Regional Asian Championships in 2022.
