The 16-year-old is proving her talent with a number of highlights, including a second place on the grid at Magny-Course. Nevertheless, her first season in a formula car is above all a year of learning.

Mathilda Paatz gained important experience at international level in the 2023 season. For DPK-Racing, the junior team of Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso, the Cologne native competed in the Champions of the Future Euro Series and in the European and World Championship races. Paatz also fought her way back into the final of ‘FIA Girls on Track’, where she gained her first experience in a Formula 4 car. There, too, the schoolgirl was able to shine with fast lap times.

In the 2020 season, Mathilda Paatz competed with the TB Racing Team in the Mini class. In the ADAC Kart Masters, the speed girl narrowly missed out on the title in third place and was honoured as the best lady in the championship.

Another highlight was the participation in the international ROK Cup Superfinal in Italy, where the student also presented the best girl.
