The battle for the F1 ACADEMY crown has been intense, with Mercedes' Doriane Pin and Ferrari's Maya Weug leading the charge. From the season opener in Shanghai to the recent street battles in Singapore, these drivers have given us an incredible show.
Round 1: Shanghai
Weug, fresh from her 2024 campaign win, dominated the pole position, leaving Pin in her wake. But Pin wasn't one to back down, and her bravery paid off in Race 2, where a cautious Weug made a costly mistake. Pin seized the opportunity, taking the lead and a five-point advantage into the next round.
Round 2: Jeddah
The tables turned in Jeddah, with Chambers claiming pole position. Weug, ever the fighter, charged through the pack in Race 1, overtaking Palmowski for second place. But it was a controversial move, as Chambers was penalized for forcing Weug off the track. Weug's win gave her a seven-point lead, setting the stage for an exciting title fight.
Round 3: Miami
A downpour in Miami turned Qualifying into a sprint, with Chambers taking pole. Weug, stuck in traffic, started in 10th. Pin, determined to make up for previous races, delivered a strong performance, leading the pack in Race 1. Weug, however, couldn't quite make it to the podium, finishing fourth. Race 2 was postponed due to weather, leaving Weug clinging to the top spot by a single point.
Round 4: Montreal
The title fight took an unexpected turn in Montreal. Chambers dominated Qualifying, but an electrical issue plagued Weug, leaving her down in 15th. Pin seized the opportunity, taking the win after a collision between Chambers and Palmowski. Weug's retirement early on didn't help her cause. Felbermayr bounced back in Race 2, claiming her first victory in an epic last-lap battle. Chambers took the win in Race 3, moving her up to Pin's closest rival.
Round 5: Zandvoort
Weug's home event in Zandvoort was a turning point. She out-qualified Palmowski, with Chambers and Pin settling for fourth and fifth. Gademan, the local hero, delivered an emotional maiden win in Race 1. Weug, unstoppable in Race 2, took the win with a massive margin. Pin finished sixth, her lowest result so far. Weug's dominant weekend put her back in second place, just behind Pin.
Round 6: Singapore
Singapore saw a tense Qualifying session, with Pin just missing out on pole to Weug. Block, starting from reverse grid pole, finally claimed her first win in Race 1. Weug, in a masterclass of overtaking, moved up to second, with Pin struggling in fifth. Race 2 was a thrilling affair, with Pin leading until the final laps. Rain threatened, and both teams debated pitting their drivers, but Weug's audacious move on the last lap secured her the win. Lloyd's third-place finish moved her up the standings, while Chambers' pit stop ended her title hopes.
With just nine points separating Pin and Weug, the stage is set for an unforgettable finale in Las Vegas. Who will become the third F1 ACADEMY Champion? Find out as these drivers push their limits and deliver the drives of their lives!
