DORIANE PIN Edges MAYA WEUG by Hundredths in Singapore F1 Academy Practice

October 3, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

DORIANE PIN delivered when it mattered most, topping Singapore practice by just 0.022 seconds over championship rival MAYA WEUG in a session that saw the top three separated by mere hundredths. The Mercedes junior’s 2:03.944 lap showed exactly why she’s led this title fight with such consistency – she finds that extra tenth when the pressure’s on, maintaining her 20-point advantage heading into qualifying.
Wild card LISA BILLARD made quite the statement in her F1 Academy debut, spinning at the final corner early on but recovering to claim an impressive sixth place finish that put several full-time competitors on notice. The French F4 graduate, backed by Gatorade and running with Hitech TGR, proved the rookie test wasn’t a fluke – she belongs at this level and then some.
ALISHA PALMOWSKI briefly held the session lead with a blistering 2:04.025 before the championship contenders struck back, ultimately settling for third just five hundredths behind PIN. With six drivers still mathematically alive for the title and CHLOE CHAMBERS lurking in fourth, this penultimate round setup promises fireworks under the Singapore lights – especially with qualifying deciding the first points of the weekend tonight.
