PRESS RELEASE- COSTA TOPARIS

Ferrari Driver Academy
World Scouting Finals 2024
Maranello, Italy

Australian Costa Toparis has made it through to the top 4 drivers at the FDA World Finals this week in Maranello, Italy.
Toparis, the 2022 KA2 Australian Karting Champion, will go up against three elite level European Karters, including the 2024 CIK FIA OK World Karting Champion Ethan Jeff-Hall from the UK.
All four drivers will be hoping to emulate Ferrari Driver Academy graduate Oliver Bearman who became an FDA driver in 2022 and got thrust into the spotlight earlier this year superbly subbing for Carloz Sainz in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix finishing in the top 10 on his F1 debut. Ferrari have now placed Bearman with the HAAS F1 Team for his first full season of Formula 1 in 2025.
All four FDA finalists will battle it out over two days this week in the Tatuus F4-T421 around Ferrari’s famous
‘Fiorano’ test circuit.
