Motorsport career

edit

A multiple Mexican karting champion, Mohnhaupt began racing in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship in 2015.[2] In her third season in the category, she became the first female driver to win a Formula 4 race at the Autódromo Miguel E. Abed in February 2018.[3] Having contested a handful of rounds in British F4, Mohnhaupt joined Douglas Motorsport for the 2018 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship alongside Jamie Chadwick, but she broke her back and ribs in a pre-season testing crash at Spa-Francorchamps.[4] Mohnhaupt announced her retirement from the sport after the incident, citing mental health issues.[5]

Mohnhaupt returned to racing in 2023 in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship, running a part-time schedule that resulted in two podiums on her return event.[6] She made her first stock car appearance in 2024, contesting the penultimate round of the NASCAR Mexico Truck Series at the Autodromo Miguel E. Abed.[7]

Between her racing stints, she studied International Management at Geneva Business School. Mohnhaupt was named Puebla's Citizen of the Year in 2018.[8]

She is in a relationship with Brazilian touring car driver Luis Goulart.[9]
