• DORIANE PIN arrives as the woman to beat after dominating early 2024 before losing the championship to ABBI PULLING by 121 points. The Mercedes driver’s winter Formula Regional Middle East experience has her race-sharp, while her return to Formula Regional European Championship shows serious F1 progression intent. At 21, she’s hungry for redemption and carrying PREMA’s three-year Teams’ title defense hopes.
• MAYA WEUG transformed from struggling early-season performer to podium regular, finally claiming her breakthrough maiden win in the season finale. The Ferrari driver’s eight podiums after finding her groove in Zandvoort proved her speed wasn’t a fluke. Now with MP Motorsport and consistently topping pre-season testing, the 20-year-old Dutch racer has positioned herself as a serious title threat.
• CHLOE CHAMBERS brings proven race-winning ability but needs consistency after her strong start faded mid-season. The Red Bull Ford-backed American claimed victory in Barcelona and three early podiums before four pointless finishes dropped her to sixth overall. At Campos Racing as their returning veteran, she has all the ingredients but must reassert dominance from Round 1 in Shanghai.
• Rookie ALISHA PALMOWSKI and rally convert LIA BLOCK add intrigue to the championship fight. PALMOWSKI impressed as Lusail Wild Card, topping testing before securing P5 in her debut race weekend, earning Red Bull Racing backing. BLOCK’s rally background brought question marks that she answered with steady progress, nearly claiming a podium in Yas Marina before penalties cost her a breakthrough result.
