No, and she knew it straight away - had her hand up to apologise while Kimilainen was still spinning.

20-second lead in a 30-minute race, well done Jamie Chadwick.

Did Abbi let Emma back through there at the end? That seems a little presumptive.

Edit: looking at the replays, maybe that was a good call from Abbi.

She definitely waited for a bit on the pit straight, then again pulled way over to the left on Wellington, well before the corner / any need to defend.

Then back up to speed to keep Wohlwend behind.

Chadwick looks another league. Needs to net a drive in a higher series to prove herself further.

I guess it saves a time penalty which might’ve put her 5th or worse.

Yup. Sensible driving.

She does. Season three she is now lingering. She has proven she’s the best and needs to progress to the big pond.

If no-one will give her an FIA F3 drive, then WS is dead as a championship. The winners need to be seen to progress up the motorsport ladder.

Surely Chadwick deserves an F3 chance at least. Am
I wrong ?

An F3 chance but a chance with time bed in too. She’s got talent and capability, but if an opportunity comes along in F3. She will benefit (like any driver) from a 2 year (+) drive opportunity so she can really show what she’s got.

She raced in F3 in a Prema. She finished 9th while her rookie teammates were first, second and third.

This.

She’s showing everyone else up in W, but in 2020 for Prema in F3 could only get one podium and less than 25% of the points of her team mates.

Sad reality is that she’s not quick enough for mixed-sex single seaters.

[HustleRussell]

Nearly watched the Formula E until I realised I could watch a wet F2 race at Silverstone.

[Sandpit Steve]

F2 starting behind the SC.

It IS entirely possible she has gained experience and improved since.

It is worth noting that she did considerably better in Asian F3 in same calendar year (in the same car...well same type), finishing 4th, just one place in the standings behind one N. Mazepin and beating him a couple of times at the end of the season.......

Come on - let's go, they're on full wets, what's the problem?

[JonChalk]

It's not raining & they're losing 3 seconds a lap compared to early laps, so I'm guessing the wet tyres are getting a bit grumpy already.

This could be fun.....
