GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DORIANE PIN enters the F1 Academy season finale in Vegas with a commanding nine-point lead over MAYA WEUG, showing the kind of ice-cold confidence that separates champions from also-rans. The Mercedes-backed driver made it clear she’s not changing her approach: “We don’t need to change anything or bring anything. We just have to be fast from free practice.” That’s championship mentality right there.
  • MAYA WEUG isn’t backing down from the challenge, riding a wave of momentum after clawing back significant ground in Singapore and Zandvoort. Her comeback story is the stuff racing dreams are made of – a disastrous Montreal weekend nearly derailed her season, but she’s fought back to within striking distance. “I think a lot of people wouldn’t have expected [this comeback] – not even Doriane!” she said, and honestly, she’s probably right.
  • While ELLA LLOYD sits 41 points back in third, this championship fight is shaping up as a classic head-to-head between two drivers who couldn’t be more different in their approaches. PIN’s playing it cool from the front while WEUG is the hunter with nothing to lose, creating the perfect recipe for drama in Sin City. We’re about to see what these drivers are really made of when everything’s on the line.
