ELLA LLOYD & ALBA LARSEN Excel at Thruxton: Season-Best Performances in F4

June 9, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ELLA LLOYD delivered her strongest British F4 weekend yet at Thruxton, securing her best qualifying position of the season in sixth place and backing it up with a hard-fought seventh-place finish in the final race. The McLaren junior and Rodin Motorsport driver showed serious defensive skills against a charging pack, proving she belongs in the fight for points while her experience at the demanding high-speed circuit paid dividends.
ALBA LARSEN made her Thruxton debut count with a brilliant recovery drive in race one, climbing seven positions to finish 11th for her best British F4 result of the season. The Danish Chris Dittmann Racing driver showed impressive racecraft navigating through multiple incidents and demonstrated her wet weather pace in race two with consistent top-10 lap times, proving she’s rapidly adapting to the demands of F4 competition.
Both drivers are successfully balancing their British F4 campaigns with F1 Academy commitments, using the additional track time to sharpen their skills ahead of the Montreal round. LLOYD’s progression from 13th in testing to sixth in qualifying shows the value of her experience, while LARSEN’s fearless approach to learning new circuits – including mastering Thruxton’s unique high-speed, low-braking-zone challenges – demonstrates exactly why dual-series programs work for developing talent.
