GRRL! SUMMARY:
- DORIANE PIN turned an opening lap disaster into triumph, rising from sixth on the grid to victory after ELLA LLOYD’s contact with RAFAELA FERREIRA triggered field-wide chaos. The Mercedes driver emerged unscathed from the carnage and fought her way past reverse grid polesitter EMMA FELBERMAYR to control the race through two restarts.
- Campos Racing delivered the kind of team performance that championship dreams are built on, with ALISHA PALMOWSKI pressuring PIN for the win while CHLOE CHAMBERS charged through the field for a double podium. CHAMBERS now gets the ultimate home race advantage, starting from pole for Race 2 at her Miami event.
- Championship leader MAYA WEUG showed her grit by recovering from a disappointing 10th in qualifying to fourth place, proving why she’s leading this title fight. Meanwhile, LIA BLOCK’s promising fifth-place finish turned into a penalty-induced 10th after track limits violations, while NINA GADEMAN’s eight-place climb and FERREIRA’s recovery drive to points demonstrated the depth of talent in this field.
