About Ferdinand
Ferdinand Habsburg (*1997) is an Austrian professional racing driver and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2021. Alongside his successful career in international endurance racing, he serves as a youth ambassador for Mary's Meals, supporting children in the world's poorest regions. In 2025 he travelled to Malawi and visited schools where children receive daily school meals through his Race for Meals campaign at Le Mans 2025.
“I sat in a classroom with four-year-olds, where we ate together on the floor, and I saw my nephew in their eyes as they played. I couldn't think of anything other than the fact that it costs me just 22 euros to give this little, playful boy a meal in this place for an entire school year!”, Ferdinand recalls. You too can sponsor one or more laps driven at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2026 now and help give even more children access to a daily school meal, and with it a better future.
