Five years ago, Mika Abrahams was racing F1 cars on a video game with his friends. Now, the 16-year-old is on the brink of making history. This young Johannesburg talent is set to become the first South African to race in Formula 1 since Jody Scheckter, the 1979 World Champion. Mikaโ€™s skill and determination have taken him from karting in South Africa to racing in Europe. His impressive career includes a standout season in the Danish F4 Championship, where he secured nine podiums in 15 starts. In 2023, he competed in the British F4 championship, earning 1st and 2nd place finishes. Mika also earned the prestigious SA Protea National Colours. We take to the circuit with this rising star.
