GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • DORIANE PIN delivered when it mattered most, turning F1 Academy’s chaotic Vegas debut into another step toward her championship coronation. While others struggled with the rain-soaked street circuit and Safety Car restarts, Pin stayed composed and seized the lead from teammate NINA GADEMAN when the opportunity presented itself. Her victory extends what’s looking like an increasingly insurmountable championship advantage.
  • MAYA WEUG’s title challenge took another devastating blow before the race even properly began. A concertina effect caused by PREMA teammate TINA HAUSMANN’s sudden braking caught Weug in the chaos, ending her race and any realistic hope of closing Pin’s points gap. With just one race remaining, Weug’s championship dreams are hanging by the thinnest of threads.
  • ALBA LARSEN provided the race’s most electrifying moment, showcasing the kind of fearless racing that makes rookies worth watching. Her bold double-overtake to claim the early lead demonstrated serious racecraft in treacherous conditions, only to see her charge ended by a heartbreaking suspension failure after clipping the wall. Sometimes the circuit bites back, but Larsen proved she belongs at this level.
