Tatiana Calderón (born 10 March 1993 in Bogotá) is a Colombian racing driver and one of the most prominent trailblazers for women in single-seater motorsport, becoming the first woman to race in the FIA Formula 2 Championship.
Junior career
Calderón built her reputation in karting, winning national titles in Colombia and in the United States as a teenager, before moving to junior single-seaters in Europe and the Americas. She competed in the GP3 Series across three seasons from 2016 to 2018, gradually improving each year and finishing 16th in the standings in 2018 with a career-best points haul in the category.
Formula 2
In 2019 Calderón stepped up to FIA Formula 2 with BWT Arden, becoming the first woman to race in the championship. On a very competitive grid she did not score points, finishing well down the order, but she made history by becoming the first woman to lead a lap in F2, during the feature race at Baku. She returned for a partial campaign in 2022 with Charouz Racing System.
Formula 1 test role
In parallel with her F2 years, Calderón held a development and test role with the Sauber Formula One team, which became Alfa Romeo Racing, from around 2018 to 2021. She drove the team's car in a private test at Mexico, becoming the first Latin American woman to drive a contemporary Formula One car — a landmark moment widely covered in Colombia and beyond.
After F2
After her single-seater feeder years, Calderón broadened her career across several disciplines. She contested rounds of the IndyCar Series with A. J. Foyt Enterprises in 2022, competed in endurance racing including the European Le Mans Series and FIA WEC, took part in Formula E rookie testing, and has more recently raced in Brazilian stock car and NASCAR Brasil categories. Throughout, she has remained an active ambassador for getting more women into top-level motorsport.
