Career
Karting
Weug started karting in 2013. She competed in multiple national championships, such as the Spanish Karting Championship, where she finished second in the Alevin Class in 2015. 2016 was Weug's first year on the international karting stage, where she would immediately show her talent, winning the WSK Final Cup in the 60 Mini category, where she beat fellow future academy member Dino Beganovic.[2] In the next four years the Dutch racer continued to compete on the international karting stage, making appearances in both the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship and Karting World Championship; her best result in the former ended up being a 17th place in 2020.
Lower formulae
In 2021 Weug will make her debut in Italian F4 for Iron Lynx Motorsport Lab as part of their Iron Dames program in association with her FDA-membership.[3]
Formula One
In October 2020 Weug was nominated as one of twenty female drivers of ages between 12 and 16 to compete in the "Girls on Track - Rising Stars" programme organized by the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission, with the reward for the victor of the shootout being a place in the Ferrari Driver Academy.[4] Weug made it into the final selection stage and on January 22 it was announced that the Dutch driver had won the shootout and would be joining the FDA.[5]
Personal life
Weug was born on Costa Blanca, Spain, but with her father being from the Netherlands, she chose to compete under a Dutch licence. Her mother is from Belgium.[6]
