Emma Felbermayr claimed her maiden victory in Shanghai, rounding out the first race weekend of F1 Academy in 2026 during the Chinese Grand Prix.
The Audi-backed driver capitalised on the mistakes from Alba Larsen to sail to victory. The young driver used her experience from last season to beat the field and claim a convincing win.
Felbermayr was joined by Alisha Palmowski and Payton Westcott, who rounded out F1 Academy’s final podium for the weekend.
Hometown hero Wei Shi unfortunately did not finish the race, after retiring due to late race contact.
