Weug Converts Pole to Race 2 Win at Zandvoort After Gademan’s Birthday Triumph in Race 1

The home victory narrows Doriane Pin’s lead as penalties lifted Alisha Palmowski to second and put Pin on the podium.

Overview

  • Maya Weug controlled Race 2 from the front to deliver a home win for MP Motorsport at Zandvoort.
  • Ella Lloyd was demoted from second to fourth by a five-second false‑start penalty, promoting Alisha Palmowski to P2 and Doriane Pin to P3.
  • Chloe Chambers’ hopes were dashed when her car was wheeled to the pits pre‑start and failed to get going from the pit lane.
  • The reversed‑grid opener produced a first F1 Academy victory for Nina Gademan on her 22nd birthday, with Lia Block second and Weug charging from eighth to third.
  • A drying, red‑flag‑hit qualifying saw Weug take pole in 1:38.834 by 0.039s over Palmowski, with stewards reviewing Hitech intra‑team contact and wildcard Esmee Kosterman starting Race 1 from the pit lane.
