Maloney’s Career Highlights

Maloney, who joined the Sauber Academy early in 2024, has graduated from the development program alongside Theo Pourchaire and Carrie Schreiner. The 21-year-old Barbadian driver had a strong season in Formula 2, supporting Sauber as a reserve driver in 2024.

He kickstarted his campaign by winning both the Sprint and Feature Race at the opening round in Bahrain.

Although he was unable to follow up with further victories, Maloney kept himself in contention for the title and ended the year fourth in the drivers’ standings.

His last appearance was at the penultimate event in Qatar before making his Formula E debut in the 2024-2025 season for Lola Yamaha ABT.

Pourchaire and Schreiner’s Next Chapters

Pourchaire, who won the Formula 2 championship in 2023, has been under the team’s wing since 2023. This year, he acted as the squad’s reserve driver and joined Super Formula for his inaugural campaign.

The Frenchman then moved to IndyCar to race for Arrow McLaren, where he enjoyed a strong debut performance.

While his name was mentioned in connection with a seat at Sauber on the F1 grid in 2025, his next chapter will see him become a test and development driver for Peugeot in the World Endurance Championship.

Meanwhile, Schreiner is set to take on the role of Team Brand Ambassador for Sauber in 2025. This position will see her promote the team’s values and act as a mentor to young drivers while she continues her own racing career.

Conclusion

The graduation of Maloney, Pourchaire, and Schreiner from the Sauber Academy marks the end of an era for these young drivers. As they embark on new adventures, they will carry with them the skills and experience gained during their time at the academy.
