MAYA WEUG Scores P5 on Euroformula Return After 11-Month Layoff

September 15, 2026

• MAYA WEUG returned to single-seaters at Hockenheim with zero testing, qualifying eighth just seven-tenths off pole after 11 months away and limited GT seat time in Belcar Endurance Series.
• Former Ferrari Driver Academy member and 2025 F1 Academy vice-champion consistently progressed each session, breaking into 1:33s by Race 1 and running faster than cars ahead despite inexperience with Dallara 324.
• Strong racecraft shown across weekend with multiple aggressive overtakes and excellent restarts, though Race 2 retirement came from three-wide contact while fighting for fifth on final lap.
• Wet Race 3 delivered breakthrough P5 finish after passing KOLLER at hairpin, posting fastest final lap (1:49.011) while managing spray and holding off charging CASTILLO behind.
• First female Euroformula competitor since JUJU NODA in 2023 proved speed intact despite funding struggles that derailed 2026 programme following two successful F1 Academy seasons.
