Fabienne Wohlwend Facts
- Before participating in the Formula 4 Italy championship in 2016, Fabienne had competed in karting competitions in both Liechtenstein and Switzerland. The first such event that she had participated in was the 2007 Swiss Karting Championship. She was just 10 years old at that time. The following year, in 2008, she won the Liechtenstein Karting Championship.
- She is only the 3rd professional racing driver to have represented Liechtenstein, after Frederick von Opel and Manfred Schurti. In the early days of her career, she had worked at the Vaduz branch of VP Bank to fund her racing dreams.
- At the Formula 4 Italy championship in 2016, her best performance was the 11th place finish in the final race of the season at the famed Autodromo Nazionale Monza circuit. Although she did not score any points in the season, she won the ‘Women’s Trophy’ class uncontested as she was the only female driver in the competition.
- At the 2017 Ferrari Challenge Europe – Coppa Shell championship, she earned 4 podium finishes, scored 2 poles, and won 1 out of the 6 races that she competed in. Her win at the Imola leg of the competition made her the first female driver to win a race outright for the Ferrari marque.
- In the 2019 W Series, when she secured a 3rd-place finish in the Misano leg (3rd) of the competition, she had secured pole position in the qualifying round. This was only the 2nd time that a Liechtensteiner had claimed pole position in an FIA-sanctioned open-wheel racing competition.
