• NINA GADEMAN missed Friday’s FP2 session at her home Dutch Grand Prix after being declared ‘unfit to drive’ by the Chief Medical Officer, requiring additional medical checks before clearance. The Alpine-backed driver lost crucial track time at Zandvoort that would have been vital for race preparation.
• After clearing medical protocols Saturday, GADEMAN bounced back to qualify eighth – which translates to reverse grid pole position for Race 1. The Dutch driver is currently eighth in F1 Academy standings with two podium finishes this season, including her best performance in Montreal.
• GADEMAN’s recent British F4 experience at Zandvoort in July (where she scored a fourteenth-place finish) likely helped her adapt quickly during Saturday’s qualifying session. Her Prema performance showed she can capitalize on home advantage despite missing valuable Friday practice time.
