GRRL! SUMMARY:
- DORIANE PIN delivered when it mattered most, claiming her fourth F1 Academy win of 2024 in chaotic Las Vegas conditions. The Mercedes protégé now sits 20 points clear heading into Saturday’s finale, proving she can handle pressure when championship rival MAYA WEUG faltered before the green flag even dropped.
- Drama struck early as WEUG’s title hopes took a massive hit during the formation lap collision with Aston Martin’s TINA HAUSMAN, eliminating her before racing began. Meanwhile, polesitter NINA GADEMAN showed resilience after needing a last-minute front wing change, still managing to secure second place alongside ALISHA PALMOWSKI on the podium.
- The race showcased the depth of talent in F1 Academy, with ALBA LARSEN delivering a brilliant outside pass at Turn 10 that briefly put her in the lead before wall contact ended her charge. ELLA LLOYD’s barrier contact also kept things interesting with another Safety Car period, proving these drivers are pushing every limit in pursuit of glory.
