Aiva Alexis Anagnostiadis (born 9 August 2007 ^[1] ) is an Australian racing driver who competes in F1 Academy for Hitech TGR with support from TAG Heuer.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Anagnostiadis began competitive kart racing aged eight and joined the Alpine Rac(H)er Karting Programme in 2023.

Early career

Karting

Anagnostiadis started karting at the age of eight, ^[2] mostly racing in Australia and most notably winning the Ladies Trophy in the 2021 Australian Karting Championship. ^[3] A year after her Ladies Trophy title, Anagnostiadis represented Australia in that year's Karting Sprint Senior category of the FIA Motorsport Games. ^[4] In the final, Anagnostiadis was involved in a crash at the start of the race and was forced to retire. ^[5]

In late 2023, Anagnostiadis joined Alpine's Rac(H)er Karting programme. ^[6] As a result, Anagnostiadis moved to the UK to compete in the RMC Winter Cup and Euro Trophy for Dan Holland Racing. ^{[7] [8] [9]}

Formula 4

2024

After participating in the Indian F4 Global Shootout Program in mid-2024 in France, Anagnostiadis competed in the Indian F4 Championship for MP Motorsport-ran Goa Aces JA Racing. ^[10] Racing for the entire season, Anagnostiadis scored a best result of fifth in race two at the second Madras round and ended the season tenth in points. ^[11]

2025

At the start of the year, it was announced that Anagnostiadis would compete for Cram Motorsport in both the Formula Winter Series and F4 Spanish Championships. ^[12] In Formula Winter Series, Anagnostiadis scored a best result of 20th in race one at Algarve in her only round in the series. ^[13] Switching to the Eurocup-4 Winter Championship for the rest of the winter, Anagnostiadis raced in the first two rounds and scored a best finish of 23rd in race three at Jerez. ^[14]

F1 Academy

2025

After finishing sixth in the final two races of the Indian F4 season, ^[15] Anagnostiadis joined Hitech TGR with support from Tag Heuer to compete in the 2025 season of F1 Academy. ^[16] Qualifying 16th on debut at Shanghai, ^[17] Anagnostiadis climbed up to eighth in the sprint race to take her and the team's maiden points of the season, before finishing 13th in the feature race. ^[18] The following round at Jeddah was a quiet one for Anagnostiadis as she finished 14th and 17th in the two races, ^[19] and so was the third round at Miami, where she finished 14th in the sprint before the feature was cancelled by rain. ^{[20] [21]} Anagnostiadis will miss the sixth round at Singapore after sustaining a fractured left foot. ^[22]

Personal life

Anagnostiadis is of Italian and Greek descent. ^[23] She is the daughter of former karter Barbara Anagnostiadis and the sister of Mercedes Junior Team member James Anagnostiadis. ^{[24] [25]}
