Alexia Danielsson (born 18 March 2009) is a Swedish racing driver who competes in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship for STEP Motorsport.
Personal life
[edit]Danielsson is the daughter of Swedish racing driver Alx Danielsson, the 2006 Formula Renault 3.5 Series champion and a test driver for Renault in Formula One.[1]
Career
[edit]Danielsson began karting at the age of six, competing until 2021,[2] when she received special dispensation to drive single-seaters at the age of 12.[3] Racing primarily in Sweden during her karting career,[4] Danielsson was runner-up in the Micro and Mini classes of the MKR Serien in 2019 and 2021 respectively.[5] Also in 2021, Danielsson was part of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars junior shootout.[6]
Moving up to single-seaters in 2022, Danielsson began racing in Aquila Formula 1000 Sweden,[7] taking a best result of seventh at Gelleråsen to end the year seventh overall.[8] Continuing in the series for 2023,[9] Danielsson achieved her first pole position and podium at Mittsverigebanan, which helped her end the season in seventh for the second consecutive year.[10] That year, aged 14, Danielsson also drove a Formula One car for the first time, testing a 2007 Williams FW29 owned by family friend Johan Rajamäki at Anderstorp Raceway.[11][12]
Remaining in Aquila Formula 1000 Sweden for a third season in 2024, Danielsson took her only podium of the season at Kinnekulle to once again end the season seventh.[13] In parallel, she also competed for FSP in the Nordic 4 Championship,[14] taking a best result of fifth at Padborg Park,[15] but suffered a rollover crash at the second Jyllands-Ringen round which forced her to skip the finale.[16] In 2025, Danielsson remained with FSP for a second season in Nordic 4.[17] She took a shock win at Karlskoga in the combined Nordic championship,[18] but only managed a best result of fourth twice in the Danish championship to end the season ninth overall.[19] That year, Danielsson also made one-off appearances in Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia and Portugal, as part of the brand's Race Apprentice 2025 initiative,[20][21][22] winning on debut in the former at Anderstorp.[23] Towards the end of the year, Danielsson took part in F1 Academy's rookie test at Navarra,[24] placing sixth in both sessions.[25]
In 2026, Danielsson moved to STEP Motorsport to compete in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship,[26] as well as joining David Coulthard's More Than Equal programme.[27][28] During the year, Danielsson returned to the F1 Academy rookie test at Navarra as a McLaren nominee,[29][30] topping the afternoon session ahead of a wildcard appearance in the series' Circuit of the Americas round for Hitech, with support from TeamViewer.[31][32]
