ELLA LLOYD Scores Double Female Trophy Win in Spectacular F4 Debut Weekend

March 7, 2024

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ELLA LLOYD delivered a masterclass debut weekend in Formula 4, claiming both Female Trophy wins despite starting from the back of the grid after qualifying issues. The Welsh driver’s recovery drives were nothing short of spectacular – gaining 16 places in Race 2 alone to finish 20th overall and proving she belongs in single-seaters after dominating GT5 competition.
BIANCA BUSTAMANTE finally got the clean run she deserved in Race 3, climbing five positions to finish 17th and earn her first Female Trophy of the weekend. After engine problems forced pit lane starts in the first two races, the McLaren junior showed her true pace with smart racecraft and strategic passes that reminded everyone why she’s considered one of the brightest prospects in the paddock.
CARRIE SCHREINER’s weekend ended before it truly began when she was caught up in a massive three-car accident at the Race 1 start, leaving her chassis too damaged to continue. Meanwhile, LIA BLOCK continues her steep learning curve in single-seaters, showing consistent improvement despite penalties and contact incidents that prevented her from converting her mid-pack qualifying pace into strong results.
