Career

Karting (2018–2025)

Born in Wettswil am Albis, Bättig began karting at the age of eight, competing until 2025. Racing in mini karts until 2021, Bättig most notably finished second in the 2019 Trofeo Vega, as well as taking part in the 2021 FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars junior shootout. Moving up to junior karts in 2022, Bättig won the Swiss Karting Championship in OK-J as the highest-placed rookie, as well as representing Switzerland in the Karting Academy Trophy.
After spending 2023 in the Alpine Rac(H)er Karting Programme and winning the Swiss Karting Championship's OK-J class, Bättig remained in junior karts for 2024. In her third season in the category, Bättig won the Swiss Karting Championship in OK-J for the third consecutive year, as well as the Trofeo Vega in X30 Junior, and also represented Switzerland in the Karting Sprint Junior discipline of the FIA Motorsport Games.
Moving to senior karts the following year, Bättig qualified on pole for season-opening round at Campillos in the Karting European Championship. Also in 2025, Bättig participated in her only season in the Champions of the Future Academy Program, taking a lone win at Al Forsan as she secured runner-up honors in the OK-N standings.

Formula 4 (2025–present)

In late 2025, Bättig made her single-seater debut in the newly-relaunched F4 Saudi Arabian Championship. Starting out the season with eighth- and ninth-place finishes across the two Bahrain rounds, Bättig then took her season-best result of seventh in the first Jeddah round, before scoring two more points finishes across the following two rounds at Jeddah en route to a 12th-place points finish.
The following year, Bättig joined Campos Racing to compete in select rounds of the Formula Winter Series, before moving to Hitech TGR for her first full-time campaign in the F4 British Championship. In the former, Bättig opened up the season with her first podium in single-seaters by finishing second in race three at Estoril.
