MATILDA PAATZ Scores Surprise Montreal Win As FERREIRA Penalized

May 24, 2026

• MATILDA PAATZ capitalized on RAFAELA FERREIRA’s five-second false start penalty to claim victory, overtaking KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN on track before inheriting the lead when sanctions dropped.
• ALBA LARSEN secured second with a last-corner dive on COUNTRYMAN, converting aggressive final-lap positioning into podium silverware after FERREIRA’s penalty shuffle.
• KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN’s pole position advantage evaporated with a sluggish launch, ultimately settling for third after leading early before late-race pressure from charging competitors.
• EMMA FELBERMAYR recovered to eighth after opening-lap contact sent her Rodin spinning. RACHEL ROBERTSON and AVA DOBSON retired early from heavy incidents requiring Safety Car intervention.
• ALISHA PALMOWSKI battled through front wing damage after clipping MEGAN BRUCE, while NINA GADEMAN became collateral damage in their Turn 13 contact that ended multiple races.
