Briton Extends Championship Lead with Dominant Display

Alisha Palmowski put in a commanding performance to claim her second lights-to-flag victory in the Montreal Feature Race, with the Red Bull Racing driver dominating around a drizzly Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.

Despite pre-race showers causing a slippery track, the Briton held firm off the line and extended her advantage lap by lap, beating the record she'd set in the Opening Race for the largest winning margin in F1 ACADEMY history — taking the chequered flag 10.9 seconds clear.

"It's amazing to get another win here in Montreal," Palmowski said after the race. "The team gave me a fantastic car and I just focused on making clean laps in the tricky conditions."

Podium Finish for Campos Racing

Emma Felbermayr dispatched two drivers in three laps, overtaking Payton Westcott and Megan Bruce to finish second. Bruce completed a 1-3 podium finish for Campos Racing to take her second podium of the weekend.

Westcott followed in fourth ahead of PREMA Racing teammate Mathilda Paatz. Ferrari's Alba Larsen finished in sixth ahead of Nina Gademan. Natalia Granada moved up into the points in P8, with Rafaela Ferreira and Ella Lloyd rounding out the top 10.

Championship Outlook

Palmowski now holds a 25-point advantage at the top of the Drivers' Standings heading into Round 3. The all-female series will make its debut at Silverstone from July 3-5.

"We're looking forward to Silverstone where we'll hopefully continue this momentum," Palmowski added. "The support from the team has been incredible all season."
