Racing career
Karting (2018–2025)
Bättig began karting at the age of eight,[2] competing until 2025.[3] Racing in mini karts until 2021, Bättig most notably finished second in the 2019 Trofeo Vega,[4] as well as taking part in the 2021 FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars junior shootout.[5] Moving up to junior karts in 2022,[6] Bättig won the Swiss Karting Championship in OK-J as the highest-placed rookie,[7] as well as representing Switzerland in the Karting Academy Trophy.[8]
After spending 2023 in the Alpine Rac(H)er Karting Programme and winning the Swiss Karting Championship's OK-J class,[9][10] Bättig remained in junior karts for 2024. In her third season in the category, Bättig won the Swiss Karting Championship in OK-J for the third consecutive year, as well as the Trofeo Vega in X30 Junior, and also represented Switzerland in the Karting Sprint Junior discipline of the FIA Motorsport Games.[11][12]
Moving to senior karts the following year, Bättig qualified on pole for season-opening round at Campillos in the Karting European Championship.[13] Also in 2025, Bättig participated in her only season in the Champions of the Future Academy Program, taking a lone win at Al Forsan as she secured runner-up honors in the OK-N standings.[14]
Formula 4 (2025–present)
2025: Junior formulae debut in Saudi Arabia
In late 2025, Bättig made her single-seater debut in the newly-relaunched F4 Saudi Arabian Championship.[15] Starting out the season with eighth- and ninth-place finishes across the two Bahrain rounds,[16][17] Bättig then took her season-best result of seventh in the first Jeddah round,[18] before scoring two more points finishes across the following two rounds at Jeddah en route to a 12th-place points finish.[19][20]
2026: Rookie season
The following year, Bättig joined Campos Racing to compete in select rounds of the Formula Winter Series, before moving to Hitech TGR for her first full-time campaign in the F4 British Championship.[21][22] In the former, Bättig opened up the season with her first podium in single-seaters by finishing second in race three at Estoril.[23]
Formula One
In August 2025, Bättig joined the Red Bull Junior Team,[24] after entering their Driver Search programme during the summer.[25]
