GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ Breaks Through for First Points Despite Tech Troubles at Chennai

August 26, 2025

• GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ finally broke through for her first points finish of the season with a solid P6 at Chennai, proving she belongs in the fight despite continuing technical gremlins that have plagued her campaign. The Czech driver showed genuine pace with consistent 1:36.7 lap times and smart racecraft during restarts, giving us a glimpse of what she can do when the car cooperates.
• FABIENNE WOHLWEND demonstrated exactly why she leads the championship standings, turning disaster into opportunity with a masterclass recovery drive from P8 to P7. After getting screwed by a red flag in qualifying that prevented her from setting a proper time, she methodically picked off positions and matched Jílková’s pace to add crucial points to her tally alongside teammate Raoul Hyman.
• ALEXANDRA HERVÉ’s weekend perfectly encapsulates the frustration of being fast but unlucky – the rookie showed she belongs by temporarily topping qualifying before an engine failure destroyed her session. A stuck throttle pedal ended her race early, but her teammate’s P5 finish in Race 2 proves the Kolkata Royal Tigers package has serious potential once they sort the reliability issues.
