Jade Jacquet (born 1 December 2009) is a French racing driver who competes in F1 Academy for ART Grand Prix as part of the Williams Driver Academy.
Career Karting (2023–2024) Jacquet began karting in 2023, initially starting out in rental karting before joining National Series Karting later that year. Joining the FFSA Academy-centrally run French Junior Karting Championship the following year, Jacquet finished 14th in that season's standings with a best result of ninth at Mirecourt.
Formula 4 (2025–) Stepping up to single-seaters for 2025, Jacquet remained in FFSA Academy-centrally run series, joining the French F4 Championship as one of six girls on the grid. Finishing as high as 12th in the first round at Nogaro, Jacquet then scored a best result of 18th at Dijon before taking her second top-15 of the season with a 14-place finish at Spa. Two top-20 finishes at Magny-Cours then ensued, before scoring a 14th-place finish at Lédenon and a season-best 11th at Le Mans.
In parallel to her F1 Academy campaign, Jacquet returned to the French F4 Championship, albeit as a guest driver. In the penultimate round of the championship at Lédenon, Jacquet became the first woman in series history to win a race, doing so in the reverse-grid race two.
During 2026, Jacquet also made a one-off appearance in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship at the Red Bull Ring for Mathilda Racing, scoring a best result of 12th in race two.

She also joined ART Grand Prix for her maiden season in F1 Academy, racing alongside teammates Lisa Billard and Kaylee Countryman. After finishing 13th on debut at Shanghai, Jacquet finished 12th twice at Montreal, describing it as a 'a good weekend of learning'.
