MAYA WINS IN JEDDAH TO LEAD F1 ACADEMY CHAMPIONSHIP

23/04/2025/in News /by Valerio Tinghi

After achieving P3 in a challenging qualifying, Maya claimed a great victory in the main race, and came close to winning the reverse grid race as well. She now leads the standings in the F1 Academy championship by seven points, with a perfect record of four podiums in four races.

Race 1
Starting from P8, Maya made a cautious but determined start. One by one, her opponents had to make way for the Ferrari-liveried car. Only the Safety Car could pause her unstoppable comeback. She had just two cars and a few laps left ahead of her. After crushing Palmowski’s strenuous defence, Maya started catching up to Lloyd. She managed to close the gap in the dying meters, with the leading duo taking the chequered flag just 0.176 seconds apart.

Race 2
Taking the start from the third spot, Maya had a great start, overtaking Doriane Pin around the outside with great precision. This move allowed her to quickly close in on Chambers and take the lead at the end of the first lap. But the Haas-backed driver tried to regain the lead and, as she made her move, she forced her opponent off the track.
Now in P3 and with undying determination, Maya regained P2 with an identical move to the one at the start. Then she started catching up on P1.
As she was informed of Chambers’ penalty, Maya wisely backed off (avoiding overheating of the tyres) and kept the gap within the required five seconds. In doing so she crossed the line in second position, but won with a safe margin of 2.8 seconds.

Next stop: Miami (Round 3)
Maya must bring momentum to the third round of the championship in Miami. She’s never been on the podium in Florida, so she will be even more determined to keep her perfect podium record alive.

FRIDAY DONE. THE WEEKEND IS JUST GETTING STARTED. 🏁

A busy Friday across Europe for our DAG drivers, with qualifying sessions and the first heats setting the stage for what promises to be an intense race weekend.

🇮🇹 VITERBO – ACI KARTING ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Tariq Soofi | MINI Gr.3
Qualifying: P18 in Group → P35 Overall
Heat B-C: P14, gaining 4 positions 🔥

A solid first race with good progress through the field. There is still plenty to fight for, and tomorrow brings new opportunities to move forward.

Brodi Cooper Dowling | OK-N Junior
Qualifying: P22 in Group → P65 Overall
Heat D-E: P28
Heat A-E: P16, gaining an impressive 10 positions 🚀

A challenging start turned into a strong response. Brodi showed exactly the fighting spirit we want to see, recovering ten positions in his second heat and finishing the day on a positive note.

🇧🇪 MARIEMBOURG – IAME SERIES BENELUX

Sahsha | X30 Junior
Non-Qualifying Practice: P16 → P7
Qualifying: P10 in Group → P20 Overall

Good progress throughout the day and encouraging pace to build on. Step by step, session by session, the direction is clear.

🇭🇺 KECSKEMÉT – FIA CEZ CHAMPIONSHIP / RMC AUSTRIA

Mia Zanki | Rotax Max Junior

Friday was dedicated to six non-qualifying practice sessions, putting in the work and preparing for tomorrow’s qualifying and Sunday’s decisive races.

Different tracks, different challenges, but the same mindset: keep working, keep learning and keep fighting.

We believe in our drivers not only when everything goes perfectly, but especially in the moments when determination, patience and character make the difference. Every lap counts, every position gained matters, and every challenge is part of the journey.

Tomorrow, we go again. Together. ❤️🏁

Five drivers on track, strong results and further progress across GT and international karting

Race Weekend 38 once again took DAG Management across several international stages, with five drivers competing in Spain, Poland, Portugal and Hungary in very different disciplines and environments: from the prestigious 24H of Barcelona to Touring Car and Endurance competition, as well as national and Rotax karting championships.

It was a weekend that perfectly reflected how motorsport is made not only of results, speed and podiums, but also of unexpected challenges, endurance, the ability to react and continuous development. Our five drivers faced very different situations and, once again, each of them gave us reasons to be satisfied and proud.

Markas Šilkūnas dominated his class in Poland, taking pole position and three class victories across the BMW Turbo Cup and Endurance. Brodi Cooper Dowling produced an excellent progression in Portimão all the way to P3 in Final 3. Mia Zanki showed front-running pace in Budapest with P1 in practice, Warm-Up and qualifying before finishing the Final on the podium. Julia Angelard remained consistently among the leading positions in Poland, while Miguel M. Garcia faced the demanding 24H of Barcelona until an engine failure ended the race after 137 laps.

For DAG Management, every weekend is first and foremost part of a longer journey. We are grateful to our drivers for their commitment and professionalism, to their families for their trust, and to the teams, mechanics, engineers, coaches and partners who make this work possible. Results matter, but so does the progress we see from race to race.

Driver management, to me, has never been about controlling someone else’s career.

It is about understanding where a driver is today, where they want to go, and what needs to happen in between.

There will always be opportunities that look attractive from the outside. Bigger teams. Different championships. New tests. New promises.

But not every opportunity is the right opportunity — and not every step forward needs to be the fastest one.

Sometimes the most important part of my job is opening a door.
Sometimes it is asking whether we should walk through it at all.

A manager should bring experience, perspective, contacts and clarity — but the career will always belong to the driver.

My responsibility is to help protect its direction.

MAXIME NOEPPEL | 2026 🏁

A year of speed. A year of international racing. A year of enormous experience gained.

2026 has given Maxime the opportunity to compete on important stages, against strong international fields and on different circuits and conditions — collecting the kind of experience that is fundamental in the development of a young driver.

And throughout the season, one thing has been clear to us: Maxime has speed.

We have seen the pace, the potential and the ability to fight in highly competitive environments. Not every weekend has translated that speed into the final result it deserved, but performance is about much more than what appears on a classification sheet.

Every race, every qualifying session, every battle and every difficult weekend has added another piece to Maxime’s experience.

International racing teaches you to adapt quickly. To understand different tracks. To compete against different drivers and teams. To analyse, react and improve. And Maxime has collected an incredible amount of that experience during 2026.

For us at DAG Management, it has been a pleasure to follow his development and see how much he has grown throughout this season.

The speed is there. The experience is growing. And there is still so much more to come.

Maxime, be proud of your 2026. Keep working, keep learning and, above all, keep showing everyone how fast you can be.

We believe in your potential and we are very proud to be part of your journey. ❤️🏁

💥 POW! WEEK 38 JUST DROPPED! 💥

Five drivers. Five tracks. One weekend with more plot twists than a superhero movie. 🏁

🏆 Markas apparently decided that one trophy was not enough: double pole position and THREE class victories at Tor Poznań. Casual weekend… 😎

⚡ Mia was flying in Kecskemét: pole position, P3 in the Final and P4 overall. Fast from the first lap to the last!

🔥 Brodi brought the fight to Portimão, finishing Final 3 in P3 and securing a brilliant P5 overall.

👏 Julia completed the final round in Biłgoraj with a best race finish of P4—and, even more importantly, finished the Polish Championship in an outstanding P4 overall!

💚 Miguel and his team battled through 137 laps of the 24H of Barcelona before the engine said: “That’s enough excitement for one weekend.” Not the ending they deserved, but endurance racing is built on determination, resilience and coming back stronger.

Different countries. Different challenges. Same racing heartbeat. ❤️‍🔥

To our drivers, families, teams, mechanics and supporters: thank you for making every chapter possible.

DRIVER MANAGEMENT — MORE THAN A CONTRACT.

Driver management is not about signing a contract and showing up on race weekends.

It is about building a career — one decision at a time.

Choosing the right team.
Finding the right championship.
Planning tests and development.
Analysing performance.
Managing relationships, opportunities, communication and the steps that come next.

But above all, it is about knowing the driver.

Knowing when to push. When to listen. When to protect. When to challenge. And sometimes, when to change direction.

Because two drivers can have the same talent, the same ambition and even the same results — but they may need completely different paths to reach their potential.

At DAG Management, we don’t believe in managing only the next race.

We believe in understanding the person behind the helmet and building the next step around them.

Because a career is not one decision.
It is hundreds of decisions made at the right moment.

That is driver management.

#DAGManagement #DriverManagement #MotorsportManagement #RacingCareer #DriverDevelopment Motorsport Racing CareerManagement BehindTheCareer DAGMotorsport

A moment to remember. A step that means so much. ❤️🏁

Last week, our driver Milla Sjöstrand took part in the F1 Academy Rookie Test in Navarra — an incredible opportunity and an important milestone in her young racing career.

And we could not be prouder of her.

Milla has earned every step of this journey through talent, determination, discipline and an extraordinary willingness to learn and improve.

We have watched her grow, work, fight for opportunities and never stop believing in where she wants to go.

Being selected to participate in the F1 Academy Rookie Test was another important recognition of that journey — and seeing her there made us incredibly proud and grateful to be part of it.

At DAG Management, we believe enormously in Milla.

We believe in her talent.
We believe in her potential.
We believe in the driver she is becoming.
And most importantly, we believe that this is only the beginning.

Motorsport careers are built step by step, opportunity by opportunity, and with people who are willing to believe in talent before everyone else does.

So today, we invite you to follow Milla’s journey.

Follow her. Support her. Share her story. Get to know the young woman behind the helmet.

And if you are a brand, partner or company looking to support an ambitious young female racing driver with an exciting future ahead, get directly in touch with Milla or with us at DAG Management.

Because talent needs opportunity.
And opportunity needs people who believe.

Milla, we believe in you. ❤️

We are incredibly proud to represent you, grateful to be part of your journey, and excited for everything still to come.

This is just one chapter.

The story continues. 🏁

🏁 A GIRL IN F1: WHY IT IS POSSIBLE TODAY

What if the next big change in motorsport is already happening right in front of us?

More girls are entering karting. More are competing at international level. More opportunities are being created. And, perhaps most importantly, a new generation is growing up seeing something that once seemed unusual as completely normal.

A girl behind the wheel.

But getting onto the grid is only the beginning.

In our latest DAG Management editorial in collaboration with Vroom, we look beyond the headlines and ask the more difficult questions:

Why do so many female careers still stall in the middle of the motorsport ladder?

What happens when karting talent needs to become a professional career?

And what really needs to change before we see a woman not only racing in Formula 1 — but competing to win?

At DAG Management, our position is simple: we manage a driver, not a gender.

Talent. Performance. Discipline. Preparation. Opportunity. Continuity. Career strategy.

The standards should be the same. The objective should be the same. And the possibility of reaching the top should be real.

F1 Academy, manufacturer involvement, growing sponsor interest and the increasing number of girls entering karting are creating a structure that simply did not exist before. But visibility alone isn’t enough. Opportunities need to become genuine sporting projects capable of preparing drivers for the next step.

So perhaps we shouldn’t ask:

„When will a woman reach F1?“

Perhaps we should ask:

„What do we need to do TODAY to make it possible?“

Because the most important moment may eventually be the day we stop talking about „a female driver“ altogether — and simply talk about her talent, her results and her career. 🏁

What do you think? Are we closer than ever before? 👇

The biggest mistake in motorsport? Thinking that talent alone is enough.

A driver’s career is built far beyond lap times. The right decisions, the right timing, the right environment and professional management can make the difference between simply racing and building a sustainable career.

At DAG Management, our job is not to promise shortcuts. It is to create direction, protect our drivers and make every step count.

Because talent opens doors — but the right strategy keeps them open.

Nine drivers on track, five trophies and a weekend of progress across international competition

Another extremely intense race weekend for DAG Management, with nine drivers competing across karting and single-seaters in five different events: Champions of the Future at Sarno, F4 CEZ at Brno, the FIA Arrive & Drive Asia-Pacific Championship in Macau, ROK Cup at Lonato and the Valencian Karting Championship at Aspar.

Junior and Senior categories in international karting, a major FIA event in Asia and two young drivers continuing their development in Formula 4.

The sporting result includes five trophies, all earned by Markas Šilkūnas at Brno through an exceptionally consistent weekend: P3 overall and P1 Rookie in Race 2, P3 overall and P2 Rookie in Race 3, and P3 Rookie in the Final. Yet the value of the weekend goes far beyond the trophies.

As always, our sincere thanks go to the drivers, their families, teams, mechanics, engineers, coaches and partners working alongside us. Every result is the product of collective effort, and every weekend, regardless of the final position, represents another step forward in the journey we are building together.

MAXIME NOEPPEL – OKJ - P20 in the Final after gaining nine positions

BENJAMIN WESTWOOD – OK - Front-running speed in practice and a place in the Final

MATTEO GALLO – OK - Consistent progression through the heats and valuable experience at this level

VLADIMIR IVANNIKOV – OK - P14 in the Final after a consistently competitive weekend

MIO OLERT – #52 - Clear progress, P1 in Free Practice and a weekend ended by a major accident

MARKAS ŠILKŪNAS – #26 - Five trophies: two overall podiums and three Rookie podium results

RIVAAN DEV PREETHAM – JUNIOR - P4 in the Final and a new event record of 47.375

MIA ZANKI – JUNIOR ROK - P3 overall in qualifying in a weekend affected by a lack of engine power

NILAS MALIK – JUNIOR - Two strong recoveries: P6 and P5 in the races
