F1 Academy 2026 Chinese Grand Prix – Race 1 Results

Nina Gademan has claimed the first win of the 2026 F1 Academy season during Race 1 at the Chinese Grand Prix.

Alpine’s driver steered clear of the typical chaos in the feeder series race to come out on top. She was narrowly followed by Natalia Granada and Emma Felbermayr, who rounded out the Race 1 podium in Shanghai.

Hometown hero Wei Shi finished the race in 17th, with Sunday’s pole-sitter Alisha Palmowski in fifth.
