Fingers crossed for Noda, she seems to be the brightest female talent out there for quite some time. It’s a shame Floersch’ career seems to have plateaued at F3 level, I remember her being quite well regarded at a similar level. On Noda, it was Jan Lammers who first drew the western world's attenti...

Noda is fast and has talent. However she was winning in karts when she weighed less than 30kg. Even carrying ballast, it's just such a huge advantage being that light.

Chadwick finished 10th in the 2nd race in Austria, having started last after her team rebuilt her car following race one, she finished a long way behind and was well off the pace, given her much more competitve showing in the 3rd race I'd surmise that there was still an issue with her car.

ATH It's not the most competitive series, there are only 12 or so cars competing and half of those are F5 cars, essentially similar chassis & engines but with H pattern gearboxes and a lower minimum weight, on some tracks the F5 cars are as fast or faster. On the other hand, the Danish F4 championsh...

Both are very promising, seemingly in control at all times, cool headed and fast.

Come on guys, 100% Hamilton's fault, his front left wheel hit Albon's right rear! The pass was done!

It's not a criticism because the faster you are the more belief you have but this is Senna/Schumacher mentality, no one is allowed to pass.

True,
