• ALISHA PALMOWSKI delivered a masterclass in composure, converting her fourth-place grid position into victory after NINA GADEMAN’s technical failure handed her the lead. The British rookie already has race-winning DNA from her GB4 debut victory, and she proved that lightning can strike twice by surviving intense final-lap pressure from CHLOE CHAMBERS to secure the Campos Racing 1-2.
• MAYA WEUG showed exactly why experience matters, methodically working her way from eighth on the grid to complete the podium with a calculated drive that avoided the chaos claiming other contenders. Meanwhile, RAFAELA FERREIRA pulled off the day’s most impressive recovery, climbing from 16th to fifth after serving a grid penalty, while ELLA LLOYD proved starting from the pit lane is just a suggestion when you’re determined to score points.
• The rookie class announced themselves with authority as AIVA ANAGNOSTIADIS kept her nose clean through three safety car periods to claim eighth and her first F1 Academy points on debut. Even EMMA FELBERMAYR, despite ending up 11th after contact at the hairpin, showed impressive pace in her first-ever race car competition, proving the 2025 field has serious depth that’s going to make every race appointment television.
