  • LARSEN completed a breakthrough weekend with consecutive podiums, demonstrating front-running pace throughout by setting multiple fastest laps and remaining within striking distance despite aero wash challenges, lifting her from eighth to fourth in standings.
  • Home favorite NINA GADEMAN maximized her weekend with back-to-back podiums, finishing eight seconds behind the leaders after an excellent Turn 1 move past NATALIA GRANADA secured third on the opening lap.
