NINA GADEMAN Claims Double Female Trophy Wins Despite Valencia Qualifying Woes

February 19, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

NINA GADEMAN delivered another commanding weekend at Valencia, claiming two out of three Female Trophy victories despite qualifying struggles that left her starting 18th and 23rd. The Alpine F1 Academy representative for 2025 proved her racecraft with impressive recovery drives, including a race one charge from 18th to 11th overall that showcased exactly why Prema Racing signed her alongside established talents like Doriane Pin.
The Dutchwoman’s weekend highlight came in race two, where she carved through the field from 16th on the grid to secure 10th overall—her second top-ten finish of the Formula Winter Series campaign. Her ability to capitalize on safety car restarts and navigate midfield chaos while maintaining clean racecraft demonstrates the kind of strategic thinking that separates good drivers from great ones in highly competitive single-seater fields.
While GADEMAN’s winning streak ended in race three with a second-place Female Trophy finish, her consistent ability to extract maximum results from difficult starting positions reinforces why she’s using this series as F1 Academy preparation. Starting from 23rd and fighting through traffic to 14th overall shows the kind of wheel-to-wheel skills that will serve her well when she steps up to the premier women’s championship alongside the sport’s rising stars.
