ALBA LARSEN Locks Down P4 Both Sessions in Debut Bahrain F1 Academy Test

October 28, 2025

• ALBA LARSEN proved consistency is queen at Bahrain testing, locking down P4 in both morning and afternoon sessions despite her first-ever visit to BIC. The 16-year-old Tommy Hilfiger driver finished just 0.453s and 0.584s behind her MP Motorsport teammate and day-one pacesetter MAYA WEUG, showing the Dutch squad’s depth with all three drivers landing in the top six.
• While pleased with her immediate pace, LARSEN isn’t settling for solid – she’s hunting for those crucial tenths on fresh rubber. Her focus is crystal clear: maximizing those precious few laps on new tyres, especially with Vegas looming and its brutal one-practice-then-qualify format that leaves zero room for mistakes.
• The Dane’s self-awareness stands out as much as her speed, openly admitting “the last run I could have done more” while emphasizing the mental game of putting together that perfect qualifying lap. It’s exactly the kind of honest assessment that separates drivers who improve from those who plateau – and LARSEN clearly belongs in the former category.
