May 26, 2026

• ALBA LARSEN demonstrated podium-worthy pace at Montreal’s Gilles Villeneuve circuit, crossing second in Race 2 before a five-second penalty for contact with Emma Felbermayr dropped her to eleventh.
• The Ferrari Driver Academy student showcased maturity with decisive overtaking throughout the weekend, securing fastest lap in Race 3 and consistently running inside the top-five despite sixth-place qualifying.
• LARSEN’s results—fifth, eleventh (penalty), and sixth—don’t reflect her true performance level as the Danish driver proved she’s making significant developmental strides in her F1 Academy campaign.
• The 2026 weekend marks continued growth for the Dane, who immediately returns to action at Silverstone for British Formula 4, maintaining her busy development schedule across championships.
