Early career

Karting

Ciconte began karting at the age of nine. During her time in karting, Ciconte mainly raced in Australia, most notably taking the Pink Plate title in the KA3 Junior Light class and also was one of four finalists for the last edition of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars.

Formula 4

2024

In early 2024, Ciconte made her single-seater debut, racing in the Australian Formula Open season opening round at Sandown in the AFO4 class, where she finished all three races as runner-up.
A month after her one-off appearance in Australian Formula Open, Ciconte joined M2/Tim Macrow Racing in the relaunched Formula 4 Australian Championship. In her only round in the championship, Ciconte finished seventh in the first two races and took ninth in race three.
During 2024, Ciconte also joined AS Motorsport in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship for the Brno round. In the three races, Ciconte scored two top-five finishes, a fourth-place finish in race one and a fifth-place result in race three.
Towards the end of the year, Ciconte joined DXR by Drivex in the Spanish F4 Championship. In the two rounds she competed in, she scored a best result of 20th in race two at Barcelona after having started 30th.

2025

At the beginning of 2025, Ciconte raced in Formula Winter Series for AKM Motorsport. Having started the season with two top-twenty finishes at Algarve, Ciconte improved her personal best result by finishing 16th in race three at Valencia, in what was her last round in the series before being replaced by Ginevra Panzeri.

F1 Academy

2025

On March 3, 2025, it was announced that Ciconte would race in F1 Academy for MP Motorsport first supported by F1 Academy. Ciconte qualified sixth on debut in Shanghai, however, in the sprint race she was given a ten-second penalty and was classified in 14th and in the feature race retired after a collision with Chloe Chong. In the following round at Jeddah, Ciconte scored her maiden points of the season by finishing ninth in race two. Having run the F1 Academy Discover Your Drive livery for the first three rounds, Ciconte began sporting a livery with Wella as its main sponsor from Canada onwards, a round in which she finished ninth in race two. Ciconte then scored points again in Singapore by finishing eighth in race two, and ended the season with a 10th-place finish in the sprint race at Las Vegas to round out the year 14th in points.
