Eighteen-year-old Alexandra Marinescu is the first Romanian female single-seater driver and one of the few girls competing in global motorsport.
She started her racing career in karting at the age of nine – in 2009 – and moved to sports car racing only four years later.
Alexandra stepped up to the Formula 4 category in 2015, when for the first time the series allowed 15-year-old drivers to compete in the championship, due to a change in its age regulations.
