GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CHIARA BATTIG delivered the strongest performance among the women’s contingent at Aragon testing, posting a 1m59.598s + 1.560s lap that put her 13th overall for Campos Racing. While the men were busy getting wet in the rain-soaked sessions, Battig kept her composure and delivered consistent pace across 82 laps, proving she belongs in this increasingly competitive field.
  • ALISHA PALMOWSKI and MEGAN BRUCE represented a solid one-two punch for Campos Racing, finishing 16th and 21st respectively in the combined test results. Palmowski’s +1.764s gap and Bruce’s +2.348s both landed within striking distance of the front-runners, showing that Campos has quietly assembled a formidable women’s program while other teams scramble with last-minute driver changes.
  • MATHILDA PAATZ and GINEVRA PANZERI rounded out the women’s representation, with Paatz running 19th for Mathilda Racing and Panzeri 25th for AS Motorsport. Their participation adds depth to what’s becoming a legitimate women’s presence in European junior single-seaters, even as the series deals with geopolitical disruptions forcing driver shuffles across multiple teams.

UPCOMING:

  • Formula Winter Series finale at Barcelona
  • Spanish F4 Winter Championship continues
