• NINA GADEMAN delivered masterful racecraft at Valencia despite qualifying struggles, climbing from 18th and 23rd grid positions to secure an 11th-place finish in Race 1 and a crucial top-ten (P10) in Race 2. Her recovery drives showcased the wheel-to-wheel skills that caught Alpine F1’s attention for their 2025 F1 Academy program with Prema Racing alongside Doriane Pin and Tina Hausmann.
• The Dutch driver extended her Female Trophy winning streak with victories in the first two Valencia races, proving she can deliver results even when the weekend doesn’t start perfectly. Her ability to navigate chaotic midfield battles—including strategic moves around safety car periods and capitalizing on contact between competitors—demonstrated the racecraft development she’s gained in her second single-seater season.
• Race 3 finally ended GADEMAN’s Female Trophy streak when she finished second in class from 23rd on the grid, but her consistent forward progress through all three races reinforced why she’s become one of Europe’s most promising F4-level talents. With one Formula Winter Series round remaining at Aragón, she’s building the foundation for what could be a breakthrough F1 Academy campaign that puts women’s racing on the map.
