July 14, 2026

• CHIARA BÄTTIG leveraged momentum from her F1 Academy pole and runner-up finish behind ALISHA PALMOWSKI at Silverstone, demonstrating the value of dual-series campaigns heading into Zandvoort’s British F4 round.
• The Hitech driver overcame a challenging 20th-place qualifying at Zandvoort by advancing positions in all three races, including wheel-to-wheel battles with multiple competitors through technical overtaking zones.
• BÄTTIG’s weekend featured strategic gains during multiple safety car periods, scoring points with a promoted 15th in race two and career-best 14th in race three despite challenging midfield competition.
• Strong Friday practice pace—fourth overall with impressive middle-sector speed—showed BÄTTIG’s potential, though Saturday qualifying struggles left her working from deep on the grid in all three races at the Dutch circuit.
