Alexia Danielsson (born 18 March 2009) is a Swedish racing driver who last competed in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship for STEP Motorsport.
Personal life
Danielsson is the daughter of Swedish racing driver Alx Danielsson, the 2006 Formula Renault 3.5 Series champion and a test driver for Renault in Formula One.
Career
Danielsson began karting at the age of six, competing until 2021, when she received special dispensation to drive single-seaters at the age of 12. Racing primarily in Sweden during her karting career, Danielsson was runner-up in the Micro and Mini classes of the MKR Serien in 2019 and 2021 respectively. Also in 2021, Danielsson was part of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars junior shootout.
Moving up to single-seaters in 2022, Danielsson began racing in Aquila Formula 1000 Sweden, taking a best result of seventh at Gelleråsen to end the year seventh overall. Continuing in the series for 2023, Danielsson achieved her first pole position and podium at Mittsverigebanan, which helped her end the season in seventh for the second consecutive year. That year, aged 14, Danielsson also drove a Formula One car for the first time, testing a 2007 Williams FW29 owned by family friend Johan Rajamäki at Anderstorp Raceway.
Remaining in Aquila Formula 1000 Sweden for a third season in 2024, Danielsson took her only podium of the season at Kinnekulle to once again end the season seventh. In parallel, she also competed for FSP in the Nordic 4 Championship, taking a best result of fifth at Padborg Park, but suffered a rollover crash at the second Jyllands-Ringen round which forced her to skip the finale. In 2025, Danielsson remained with FSP for a second season in Nordic 4. She took a shock win at Karlskoga in the combined Nordic championship, but only managed a best result of fourth twice in the Danish championship to end the season ninth overall. That year, Danielsson also made one-off appearances in Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia and Portugal, as part of the brand's Race Apprentice 2025 initiative, winning on debut in the former at Anderstorp. Towards the end of the year, Danielsson took part in F1 Academy's rookie test at Navarra, placing sixth in both sessions.
In 2026, Danielsson moved to STEP Motorsport to compete in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship, as well as joining David Coulthard's More Than Equal programme. In her rookie season in the series, Danielsson took a best result of sixth at Most to end the year 31st overall. During the year, Danielsson returned to the F1 Academy rookie test at Navarra as a McLaren nominee, topping the afternoon session ahead of a wildcard appearance in the series' Circuit of the Americas round for Hitech, with support from TeamViewer.
