GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CLARA STIEBLEICHINGER capped her rookie single-seater season as the highest-placed female driver in the Indian F4 Championship standings, finishing 11th overall with 40 points. The Austrian consistently showed progress throughout her first circuit racing campaign, delivering multiple top-10 results and proving she belongs in the competitive field. Her season finale performance at Chennai saw her score points in both races, including a seventh-place finish after penalties reshuffled the grid.
  • PAIGE RADDATZ continued her impressive mid-season entry impact with another strong weekend, securing her fourth points-scoring finish despite joining the championship halfway through the year. The Australian’s rapid adaptation from karting to single-seaters was on full display as she consistently ran in the top-10, showing excellent racecraft and race management. Her ability to make immediate gains off the start line became a signature move, climbing from 11th to eighth in the opening lap of Race 1.
  • Both rookies demonstrated the kind of wheel-to-wheel racing we love to see, with RADDATZ and STIEBLEICHINGER running nose-to-tail in the final race, separated by just tenths while fending off pressure from behind. Their close battle showcased not just speed but smart defensive driving, proving these women can mix it up when the racing gets tight. While post-race penalties shuffled the final classifications, the on-track performances told the real story of two drivers ready for the next level.
