Aiva Alexis Anagnostiadis (born 9 August 2007[1]) is an Australian racing driver who competes in F1 Academy for Hitech TGR with support from TAG Heuer.
Early career
Karting
Anagnostiadis started karting at the age of eight,[2] mostly racing in Australia and most notably winning the Ladies Trophy in the 2021 Australian Karting Championship.[3] A year after her Ladies Trophy title, Anagnostiadis represented Australia in that year's Karting Sprint Senior category of the FIA Motorsport Games.[4] In the final, Anagnostiadis was involved in a crash at the start of the race and was forced to retire.[5]
In late 2023, Anagnostiadis joined Alpine's Rac(H)er Karting programme.[6] As a result, Anagnostiadis moved to the UK to compete in the RMC Winter Cup and Euro Trophy for Dan Holland Racing.[7][8][9]
Formula 4
2024
After participating in the Indian F4 Global Shootout Program in mid-2024 in France, Anagnostiadis competed in the Indian F4 Championship for MP Motorsport-ran Goa Aces JA Racing.[10] Racing for the entire season, Anagnostiadis scored a best result of fifth in race two at the second Madras round and ended the season tenth in points.[11]
2025
At the start of the year, it was announced that Anagnostiadis would compete for Cram Motorsport in both the Formula Winter Series and F4 Spanish Championships.[12] In Formula Winter Series, Anagnostiadis scored a best result of 20th in race one at Algarve in her only round in the series.[13] Switching to the Eurocup-4 Winter Championship for the rest of the winter, Anagnostiadis raced in the first two rounds and scored a best finish of 23rd in race three at Jerez.[14]
F1 Academy
2025
After finishing sixth in the final two races of the Indian F4 season,[15] Anagnostiadis joined Hitech TGR with support from Tag Heuer to compete in F1 Academy.[16] Qualifying 16th on debut at Shanghai,[17] Anagnostiadis climbed up to eighth in the sprint race to take her and the team's maiden points of the season, before finishing 13th in the feature race.[18] The following round at Jeddah was a quiet one for Anagnostiadis as she finished 14th and 17th in the two races,[19] and so was the third round at Miami, where she finished 14th in the sprint before the feature was cancelled by rain.[20][21]
Personal life
Anagnostiadis is of Italian and Greek descent.[22] She is the daughter of former karter Barbara Anagnostiadis and the sister of Mercedes Junior Team member James Anagnostiadis.[23][24]
