PREMA Racing claimed a podium finish in tricky conditions as the F1 Academy series got its weekend completed at Marina Bay in Singapore. Mercedes-AMG F1 Team junior Doriane Pin ended up second in Race 1 to retain her championship lead heading into the Las Vegas finale.

Maya Weug executed a dominant drive in Zandvoort to claim her second win of the season, leading every lap to crucially close the gap to her title rival Doriane Pin. The Ferrari driver made the most of starting on pole position to secure her second podium of the weekend, with the second-biggest winning margin in F1 Academy history of 7.3s.

F1 Academy put up a strong showing at Zandvoort as the hard-fighting pack came back from the winter break to compete at the challenging venue in unpredictable but mostly dry conditions. PREMA Racing wrapped up the Dutch weekend with a first-time win for home hero Nina Gademan and a good haul of points for championship leader Doriane Pin.

F1 Academy will be the first series to go back on track after the summer break for PREMA Racing, and will do so in a classic destination, Zandvoort, which has been part of its schedule since year one. The popular Dutch Grand Prix will bring in thousands of highly passionate fans, and supporting Formula 1, the F1 Academy drivers are motivated to get the job done in front of such a great crowd.

The battle for supremacy in the Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA is poised to resume this weekend (July 26-27) as the UK’s premier single-seater series heads to the home of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort, boasting a record-equalling 27-car grid.
