FWS: CRAM announces Formula Winter Series driver line-up

CRAM’s driver line-up for the Formula Winter Series has been announced.

Aleksander Ruta will graduate from karting this year. The Polish racer will compete in the full Formula Winter Series, and will be keen to build upon promising seat time in testing. Ruta will be CRAM’s full-season hope in the Formula Winter Series, and will be hoping to perform well within the Rookie category for single-seater newcomers.

The second CRAM seat will be split between two drivers. For the first two rounds, including this weekend’s season-opener at Portimão, Aiva Anagnostiadis will take the wheel. The Australian has previously competed in karting domestically and internationally, and made her first appearances in single seater racing during the 2024 Indian F4 season, finishing tenth in the standings and scoring a top-five finish at Madras.

German 15-year-old Elia Weiss will join CRAM for the second half of the season, and will also race alongside Ruta in the 2025 Italian F4 season. The driver from Aschheim has two national karting championships to his name, including the 2024 ADAC Kart Masters X30 Senior class. His debut in single seaters will come in the Formula Winter Series, and is hotly anticipated by those looking for Germany’s next major talents.

CRAM, a staple part of the F4 landscape, is returning to the GEDLICH Racing paddock after debuting last year.

The first round of the 2025 Formula Winter Series begins this coming weekend at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve. All three races will be streamed live on the Winter Series YouTube channel.
