August 28, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LUNA FLUXÁ finished 29th twice and retired once at Jarama after constant Safety Car periods denied her chance to leverage competitive pace shown at Aragón where she scored breakthrough eighth-place finish.
  • MARIA GERMANO NETO recorded 23rd, retirement, and 28th across three chaotic races, unable to build on season-best 15th at MotorLand despite showing flashes of speed throughout rookie campaign.
  • ZOE FLORESCU POTOLEA missed Spanish F4 round due to F1 Academy wildcard debut at Zandvoort, leaving FLUXÁ and GERMANO NETO as sole female competitors in Madrid-area field.
  • Weekend featured unprecedented Safety Car interventions with only two full green-flag laps in Race 1, multiple grid incidents including FLUXÁ avoiding major collision after pit-lane start in Race 2.
  • All three drivers expected to reunite at Jerez round September 25-27, hoping for cleaner running and opportunity to demonstrate true pace after frustrating Jarama results.

UPCOMING:

  • Spanish F4 Championship Round 5 at Jerez, September 25-27, 2026
