GADEMAN Wins F1 Academy Austin Feature After PALMOWSKI Crashes Out

October 26, 2026

• ALISHA PALMOWSKI sealed the 2026 F1 Academy title in the Reverse Grid Race, starting eighth and finishing second, entering the Feature with a commanding 63-point cushion over EMMA FELBERMAYR.
• NINA GADEMAN led from Turn 1 on lap one for MP Motorsport-Alpine, posting the fastest lap among classified finishers before a late safety car set up a one-lap shootout she controlled cleanly.
• ALBA LARSEN’s bold dive on PALMOWSKI at lap 10 ended both their races — Larsen with front-left damage, Palmowski with rear suspension failure — wiping out the top two from the restart.
• PAYTON WESTCOTT and NATALIA GRANADA completed the PREMA 1-2-3 podium lock behind Gademan, while JADE JACQUET scored a career-best fourth for ART Grand Prix.
• ALEXIA DANIELSSON was declared unfit to start the Feature after a wrist injury sustained in a Reverse Grid Race clash with Jacquet, ending her Austin weekend early.
