LIA BLOCK Climbs 7 Places to P17 in Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship Debut

February 10, 2025

• LIA BLOCK made her return to F4 competition at the inaugural Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship at Jerez, delivering a standout performance in the sprint race where she climbed seven positions from P24 to finish P17. The Williams Academy driver showed increasingly strong pace throughout the 20-minute race, consistently improving her lap times into the 1:45s while defending her position against more experienced competitors in the 33-car field.
• Despite qualifying challenges that left her starting P24 after red flags disrupted her qualifying sessions, BLOCK demonstrated the racecraft that made her a consistent points scorer in F1 Academy last season. She executed clean, determined drives and showed particularly strong pace in the sprint race, running competitive lap times that were quicker than some cars ahead of her while maintaining her position against pressure from behind.
• The weekend ended disappointingly when BLOCK was caught in a first-corner accident during the final race, with nowhere to go to avoid spinning cars ahead. However, her performance validated her development trajectory as she prepares for her sophomore F1 Academy season with ART Grand Prix, having progressed from zero single-seater experience to becoming a race winner in just one year of competition.
