Course 1

After a month without a race weekend due to a rib fracture, Doriane Pin returned this weekend for the Spanish stage of the championship. The French driver was back behind the wheel this Saturday during the first race of the weekend. Starting fifth on the grid, the 20-year-old driver had a poor start and found herself 14th after the first turn. She was able to show her talent a few laps later and took advantage of the safety car deployment following a collision between the Dutch Maya Weug and the Emirati Amna Al Qubaisi.

Mercedes' protegee managed to climb back to 7th place thanks to her speed. It was Abbi Pulling who easily won in Barcelona on Saturday and consolidated her lead ahead of Sunday's race, with Nerea Marti finishing 2nd and Chloe Chambers 3rd. The British driver now has a 53-point lead over Dorian Pin, who is 2nd in the F1 Academy overall standings. As for the other French driver, Lola Lovinfosse, she finished 11th in the first race of the weekend.
