SPORT Who is Aiva Anagnostiadis?

She’s the rising star of motorsport. At just 17, Australian driver Aiva Anagnostiadis is steadily climbing the ranks of women’s racing, making it only fitting for TAG Heuer to partner with her.  Aiva grew up in the perfect environment for racing: her mother was a former kart driver, and her father owned a kart store. Racing runs in the blood of every member of the Anagnostiadis family. It was only natural that she began karting herself at six, immediately revealing her undeniable talent.

After a meteoric rise, she participated in the Motorsport Games in France in 2022 and won the Australian Ladies Trophy in 2021. But 2023 became a pivotal year in her career when she was selected to join the Alpine Rac(H)er Academy, a program aimed at accelerating women’s advancement to the top of motorsport.

In 2024, Aiva transitioned to single-seaters by joining the Indian Formula 4 Championship with Goa Aces JA Racing, finishing in 10th place. She also competed in the Formula Winter Series, gaining experience on some of Europe’s most prestigious circuits. That same year, she joined Argenti Motorsport for further single-seater testing, honing her skills.

Now racing in the Spanish Formula 4 Championship with CRAM Competition, and F1 ACADEMY where she represents TAG Heuer in the #11 TAG Heuer operated by Hitech car Aiva Anagnostiadis represents a new generation of drivers ready to push boundaries and pave the way for women in motorsport.
