MAYA WEUG Edges CHLOE CHAMBERS by Two Tenths to Top F1 Academy Miami Practice

May 2, 2025

• Championship leader MAYA WEUG delivered when it mattered, clocking a session-best 1:58.545 to top Friday’s second practice at Miami. The MP Motorsport driver showed exactly why she’s leading the standings, first breaking the two-minute barrier then methodically working her way back to P1 after CHLOE CHAMBERS briefly stole the spotlight. Her performance included two fastest sectors in her final run—the kind of precision we’ve come to expect from this title contender.
• Home hero CHLOE CHAMBERS continues building momentum at every circuit this season, even without that elusive first win. The Campos Racing driver was the first to crack into the 1:58s with a purple-sector masterclass, temporarily leading before WEUG’s final response. Her 1:58.824 proved she belongs in this conversation and gave the Miami crowd something to cheer about as she slots into second, just two tenths back.
• NINA GADEMAN rounded out an exclusive 1:58s club of three, confirming the strong pace she’d shown in morning practice with a perfectly timed final flying lap. Meanwhile, drama struck early when wildcard AVA DOBSON locked up into Turn 1 and tagged LIA BLOCK’s Williams-liveried machine—earning DOBSON a three-place grid penalty for both races and proving that Miami’s concrete walls don’t forgive mistakes, even in practice.
