F1 Academy: Maya Weug has its nerve to inherit the convincing victory of Chloe Chambers in Jeddah Race 2

The drama was not limited to the Frontrunners, since Rafaela Ferreira received a 10 second time penalty for Spinning Spate Sauber, Emma Felbermayr in Tour 2, leaving both of the points.

When race 2 approached its conclusion, Chambers was able to maintain his leadership ahead of Weug and Pin, which had repeatedly exchanged P2 throughout the race. With the knowledge of its penalty, Chambers pressed for the remaining laps and crossed the line less than 5.1s ahead of PIN to lose only one position.

The Alpine Nina Gademan driver secured six points in P7 when she Lloyd was promoted to P8 after Ferreira’s penalty. Joanna Ciconte and Chloe Chong completed the finalists of the points.
