From 2026, Alba joins the Ferrari Driver Academy and will represent Ferrari in the F1 Academy – entering one of the most demanding and prestigious development environments in motorsport.
Ferrari Driver Academy is built around a clear objective: to develop drivers capable of reaching the highest level of the sport. Alba now becomes part of that system – where performance, discipline, and continuous improvement are non-negotiable.

A Dream – and a responsibility
Alba’s journey to this point has been defined by rapid progression, strong work ethic, and an ability to perform under pressure.
Joining Ferrari Driver Academy marks both recognition and the start of a new level of expectation.
“Joining the Ferrari Driver Academy is a dream come true for me. Ferrari is such an iconic team, and I’m incredibly proud to be part of it. I’m looking forward to learning as much as possible and continuing to develop both on and off track.”
