RASHED AL QEMZI made his F1H2O World Championship debut in 2016 for Team Abu Dhabi, having proven his pedigree across various racing categories throughout the years.

Al Qemzi tasted racing glory back in 2013, when he was crowned World Champion in the UIM H2O Nations Cup in his first appearance in the competition. Since then, he went on to win the UIM F4-s World Series in 2016, and has been a dominant force in the F2 World Championship, claiming five titles to his name, his first coming in 2017 and most recent in 2024, a season in which he dominated and secured three Grand Prix victories in. In addition, he won the UIM Endurance Championship in 2019 and 2021.

Following his 2016 F1H2O debut, the Emirati has made sporadic appearances for Team Abu Dhabi as a reserve driver, entering 14 Grand Prix in that role throughout the years. For the 2026 season, he was promoted to one of Team Abu Dhabi’s lead drivers in their expanded three boat set-up, giving him the opportunity to prove his pedigree at the top of the sport for a full season of racing.
