Career
Robertson began her karting career at the age of fifteen, initially taking up rental karting,[1] before moving to the British Karting Championship in 2024 in the Senior Rotax category.[2] The following year, Robertson joined Radical Racing Rebels to race in the Radical Cup UK.[3] Taking a best result of fourth on her debut round at Donington Park,[4] Robertson then scored a pair of third-place finishes at Brands Hatch and Snetterton.[5][6] In the final three rounds, Robertson scored two third-place finishes at Silverstone and Donington Park to secure third in points.[7][8] In August of that year, Robertson tested Formula 4 machinery at Cremona with Cram Motorsport,[9] before participating in the F1 Academy rookie test at Navarra one month later,[10] in which she finished fifth in both sessions.[11][12]
In October, Robertson made her single-seater debut in the relaunched Hitech Grand Prix centrally-run F4 Saudi Arabian Championship.[13] After retiring in both races of the season-opening round in Bahrain,[14] Robertson scored her maiden series points by finishing tenth in race one of the following round, held at the same venue.[15] In the third round of the season in Jeddah,[16] Robertson scored her second points result of the season, finishing ninth in race two, before bettering that with an eighth place finish at the same venue, in the next round.[17] In late November, Robertson made her F1 Academy debut for Hitech TGR at Las Vegas, in which she took over Aiva Anagnostiadis' car,[18][19] and finished fourth on her series debut in a wet race one before ending the weekend with a 14th-place finish in race two.[20]
