I believe that will be a penalty for forcing another driver off the track.

[Muppetmad]

Somehow we avoided a huge crash there. Chamber was not going to yield.

[Muppetmad]

Pin not quite on the pace right now. Given how good her pace was yesterday, I wonder what's up.

 

Edit: Yeah, Chambers is surely going to get a penalty for that.

Lloyd is coming back through the field nicely after her slow start.

[Frood]

Palmowski definitely seems to lack straightline speed, she's barely closing on Pin even with the slipstream.

[Frood]

I'm surprised Chambers got the penalty for that incident, not the second one. I'd argue Weug was always going off on that line in Turn 22. The second one was slam dunk.

[Muppetmad]

If Weug starts fighting with Chambers again, it'll only help Pin.

[Muppetmad]

Chambers has flashes of good pace, but is really rough around the edges in her race execution.

[Frood]

I questioned Weug's move to MP Motorsport - especially considering they seemed like the worst team on the grid last year - but full credit to her and the team, it now looks like an inspired move.

[Muppetmad]

Indeed. Weug was consistently behind Pin in both qualifying and race pace last year, but Weug looks like the woman to beat this year.

 

It looked like Pin had too little downforce here – she was consistently losing in the corners.

[Jellyfishcake]

Pin didn't look like she had much straightline speed either, failing to even beat Chambers with the penalty was a bad result.

 

Honestly Prema are having a mare in F2, F3 and F1A, and Weug's choice to split to MP looks inspired

[Disgrace]

At least they're doing well in WEC as Iron Lynx and in IndyCa... oh. Maybe the organisation has been stretched too thin.

Entertaining !!

The new girls from the UK, Lloyd and Palmowski, are proving real assets to the series.  But there are some there that wouldn't be an asset to a kiddies pedal car race.

Alba Larsen gets 2025 British F4 season with Chris Dittmann racing.

[Muppetmad]

Good stuff! Larsen has looked promising in F1A. Fingers crossed she has a good season.

[Frood]

CDR is probably the worst team in British F4, so I think it’ll be a struggle for her. Saying that, at least the team will have a driver in Larsen who likely won’t get banned for assaulting someone unlike last year, so perhaps they’ll do better!

[jonpollak]

At 16 all learning is good learning
Maybe it’s a positive to experience what being in a schitt team is like ???

We are all in on the ground floor here.

I've seen ads for a new Netflix series, "F1: The Academy", which I gather is a Drive-to-Survive type documentary about F1 Academy, released May 28.

Who's planning to watch?
