MATHILDA PAATZ Commands Debut Weekend as GINEVRA PANZERI Takes First Win

September 17, 2025

• MATHILDA PAATZ proved she belongs in the E4 Championship with a commanding debut weekend for her family-owned team, finishing as the highest female competitor in both races she completed. Despite taking a six-place grid penalty after a first-lap incident in race one, she fought back brilliantly in race two, gaining eight positions to claim 26th and the Female Trophy win, before backing it up with another top female finish of 20th in the final race.
• GINEVRA PANZERI delivered when it mattered most, claiming her maiden Female Trophy victory in race one after a stellar drive that saw her gain 11 positions to finish 21st. The AKM Motorsport driver showed the kind of racecraft that separates the contenders from the pretenders, though a late-race gravel trap excursion in race two reminded everyone that consistency remains the ultimate challenge in single-seater racing.
• The weekend showcased the depth of female talent in the field, with F1 Academy regular AURELIA NOBELS consistently running in the points fight and Italian F4 rookies EMILY COTTY and PAYTON WESTCOTT proving they can match the pace of more experienced competitors. Both rookies earned Female Trophy podium finishes, with COTTY showing particular promise by joining PAATZ on the class podium twice during the weekend before edging out PANZERI for the final trophy position in race three.
