AMNA & HAMDA AL QUBAISI Fight Back For Second Podium at Spa-Francorchamps

August 26, 2025

• The AL QUBAISI sisters proved they’re not here to make up the numbers, turning a technical disaster in Race 1 into a third-place finish through sheer grit. When HAMDA’s car stopped on the Kemmel straight and dropped them to the back of the pack, AMNA stepped up with a blistering second stint that had us all remembering why we love comeback stories. Their ability to extract pace when it mattered most – setting personal bests while fighting through traffic – shows these rookies have the race craft to back up their speed.
• Race 2 delivered more chaos than a reality TV finale, but HAMDA navigated the opening lap carnage like a seasoned pro. While others were collecting damage and penalties, she kept her cool through multiple incidents before delivering the fastest lap of the race during her stint. The strategic decision to stay out longer while rivals pitted paid dividends, jumping them up the order and setting up AMNA for another charge through the field.
• AMNA’s late-race heroics in the second race nearly delivered back-to-back podiums, missing third place by just two seconds after a stunning move around the outside at Blanchimont. Her ability to consistently find pace through the technical middle sector while maintaining racecraft under pressure demonstrates why these sisters are sitting fourth in the championship at the halfway point of their debut season. They’re not just learning – they’re competing at the sharp end where it counts.
