More Than Equal has named five drivers to join its development programme alongside its current trio Ivonn Simeonova, Lana Flack and Skye Parker.

Alexia Danielsson, Amelia Wyszomirska, Gianna Pascoal, Julia Angelard and Zoe Florescu-Potolea have joined the programme aimed at developing elite female racing drivers after a talent search and assessment.

More Than Equal, founded by Karel Komarek and David Coulthard, aims to find and develop the first female Formula 1 world champion by providing a high-performance programme to support young drivers with the potential to progress through the elite motorsport ranks.

The drivers are selected in a data-driven global talent ranking system, combined with assessments across driving performance, physical capability, psychological readiness and long-term development potential.

Each driver receives technical and tactical coaching, plus physical and mental performance support, from coaches working in collaboration with performance specialists, inspired by successful Olympic models currently in action.

The programme focuses on supporting drivers through the critical transition from karting to single-seater racing.

“I have seen first-hand how critical early development is in motorsport,” Coulthard said. “More Than Equal is about looking ahead and building a pathway that creates opportunity through preparation, structure and long-term development, informed by data and evidence.

“This work is about shaping what the future of the sport can and should look like, and we are proud to support the next generation of female drivers as they progress in their careers.”

“Building a sustainable pipeline of female talent requires long term commitment and the right development environment,” Tom Stanton, More Than Equal CEO, added.

“This intake reflects the growing depth of female talent worldwide, strengthens our global programme, and reinforces our focus on giving talented drivers the preparation they need to progress through the ranks.”
