Luna Fluxá

Luna was born in Spain in 2010 and joined the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team’s Junior Programme in 2022, after impressing in her initial seasons racing in karts and showing encouraging signs of a driver on the rise. She started racing in 2017 and has been travelling around Europe competing in various series since 2019.

The 15-year-old got her start attending the ‘programa mujer y motor’, a series introduced by the Spanish Automobile Federation to attract more females to motorsport.

She then rose through the Spanish karting ranks in the Alevin class, before moving up to larger WSK and IAME Euro Series events, consistently reaching the finals. In 2021, the Spanish-British racer focused on 60 Mini racing and also won the IAME Euro Series in X30 Mini. She stepped up to OK Junior in 2022 and after a good year of development, and remained in the category for 2023 where she made further progress.

Luna progressed up to the next level of karting in 2024, moving into the OK Senior category. She showed strong pace in the FIA Karting World and European Championships respective, and Luna also joined the Iron Dames programme part-way through the year.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the year was her Champions of the Future Academy Program campaign, where she took numerous victories and podiums to secure the OK Senior title. At the end of the year she received the Rising Star Award from F1 Academy at the Autosport Awards.

Luna graduates from karting in 2026 and will be racing in the F4 Spanish Championship.
