GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ Breaks Through for First Points Despite Tech Troubles at Chennai

August 26, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ finally broke through for her first points finish of the season with a solid P6 at Chennai, proving she belongs in the fight despite continuing technical gremlins that have plagued her campaign. The Czech driver showed genuine pace with consistent 1:36.7 lap times and smart racecraft during restarts, giving us a glimpse of what she can do when the car cooperates.
FABIENNE WOHLWEND demonstrated exactly why she leads the championship standings, turning disaster into opportunity with a masterclass recovery drive from P8 to P7. After getting screwed by a red flag in qualifying that prevented her from setting a proper time, she methodically picked off positions and matched Jílková’s pace to add crucial points to her tally alongside teammate Raoul Hyman.
ALEXANDRA HERVÉ’s weekend perfectly encapsulates the frustration of being fast but unlucky – the rookie showed she belongs by temporarily topping qualifying before an engine failure destroyed her session. A stuck throttle pedal ended her race early, but her teammate’s P5 finish in Race 2 proves the Kolkata Royal Tigers package has serious potential once they sort the reliability issues.
