Historic Female-Majority F4 Saudi Grid Sees RACHEL ROBERTSON Win Female Trophy

December 9, 2025

• The 2025 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship finale broke new ground with eight female drivers comprising 57.1% of the grid – the first time in history a mixed-gender single-seater series featured more women than men. RACHEL ROBERTSON led the charge after her F1 Academy debut, showing consistent pace throughout practice and qualifying sessions while NINA GADEMAN returned after her earlier podium success to challenge for the Female Trophy title.
• ROBERTSON delivered a masterclass in the final race, launching from third on the grid after penalties promoted her from fifth. Despite early pressure from male competitors, she fought her way into podium contention and staged a dramatic three-car photo finish for third place, missing the overall podium by just 0.067 seconds while securing her first Female Trophy victory of the season in spectacular fashion.
• GADEMAN claimed the Female Trophy championship on countback after finishing level on points with ESMEE KOSTERMAN, who salvaged tenth place despite running without a front wing for most of the final race following an early collision. The championship showcased remarkable depth with AVA DOBSON earning sixth place and her first points, PAYTON WESTCOTT adding to her recent Dubai victory momentum, and FARAH AL YOUSEF scoring her first F4 points after nearly a year away from racing.
