February 19, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

KORNELIA OLKUCKA delivered her breakthrough weekend in the Formula Winter Series at Valencia, securing her first top-20 finish after starting from P30 in all three races. The Polish driver showed remarkable pace improvement throughout the weekend, finding nearly two seconds in lap time during testing and consistently running competitive times in the 1:37s range during races.
Despite being involved in multiple incidents through no fault of her own—including being spun by ALBA HURUP LARSEN in Race 2 and contact with Simon Schranz in Race 3—OLKUCKA demonstrated the fighting spirit that’s made her a standout rookie. She climbed from P30 to P20 in Race 1, showcasing solid racecraft and the ability to capitalize on opportunities while avoiding chaos around her.
Building on her impressive 2024 rookie season in F4 CEZ where she scored points nine times and finished with an eight-race top-ten streak, OLKUCKA is proving that consistent track time translates to rapid improvement. Her ability to bounce back from setbacks and maintain competitive pace even after incidents shows the determination that could make her a real contender as the season progresses.
