GRRL! SUMMARY:
- CHLOE CHAMBERS nailed the timing game perfectly in rain-disrupted Miami qualifying, setting her pole-winning 2:00.458 in the crucial opening minutes before Mother Nature shut down the session. The home hero maximized her single dry lap while others were still warming up their tires, delivering a clutch performance when it mattered most to secure her second consecutive pole position.
- ALISHA PALMOWSKI made it a Campos Racing front row lockout, finishing just 0.018 seconds behind her teammate in what became a one-lap shootout. With DORIANE PIN, ELLA LLOYD, and LIA BLOCK rounding out the top five, the sudden downpour created chaos as drivers scrambled for clear track space before conditions deteriorated completely.
- Championship leader MAYA WEUG faces a serious challenge from P10 on Miami’s unforgiving street circuit, while EMMA FELBERMAYR claimed her second consecutive reverse-grid pole for Race 1. The Austrian has been quietly building momentum in the championship fight, and starting from the front in the opening race gives her a prime opportunity to maximize points while others battle through traffic.
