Zane Maloney has taken the Rookie of the Year award at the FIA Prize Giving ceremony in Bologna. The Barbadian claimed the award after his successful year in Formula 3, where he narrowly finished second to Victor Martins in his first season in the series. His strong showing recently earned him a place on Red Bull junior driver roster , alongside the likes of Liam Lawson, Ayumu Iwasa, Jehan Daruvala and F3 rival Isack Hadjar. His efforts this season have seen him rewarded with the FIA's Rookie of the Year award, an accolade often handed to Formula 1 and Formula 2 drivers. Previous winners include Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc (twice a winner for his rookie seasons in F2 and F1), Alex Albon and Yuki Tsunoda. Maloney fought off competition from higher racing categories, including Guanyu Zhou (F1) and Logan Sargeant (P4 in F2).
