Alisha Palmowski wins the Feature Race at Silverstone, converting a clean launch into home victory. She out-drags Chiara Battig off the line to secure her third win.

Palmowski and Battig immediately clear the pack, stabilising the gap. The Red Bull Racing driver manages tyre temperatures and pace, preventing any undercut threats and controlling the stint length.

Palmowski extends her championship lead to 30 points over Emma Felbermayr.

Battig’s second place is historic. She becomes the first Wild Card to reach the podium and delivers Hitech’s maiden rostrum, validating the team’s car baseline and her rapid adaptation.

Emma Felbermayr completes the podium after an assertive climb from eighth. She carries momentum from Saturday’s Reverse Grid win and executes decisive passes without over-stressing the tyres.

Andrea Gademan finishes fourth but cannot threaten the Audi ahead. Ella Lloyd takes fifth, benefiting from clean air during a race shaped by the weather conditions at Silverstone.

Chiara Battig becomes the first Wild Card to reach an F1 Academy podium.

Hitech converts pace into depth scoring. Rachel Robertson finishes sixth and Ava Dobson eighth, split by Sephora’s Natalia Granada in seventh, underscoring qualifying execution and early-lap race craft.

Megan Bruce secures ninth for TAG Heuer after a measured run. Alba Larsen recovers from a mid-race mistake to claim tenth and the final point, limiting damage to her campaign.

Palmowski’s haul resets the title picture. She now leads by 30 points over Felbermayr, according to the latest standings, giving Red Bull Racing valuable buffer into the summer break.

Next stop: Circuit Zandvoort, August 21–23, after the summer break.

Focus turns to Circuit Zandvoort on August 21–23. High-degradation potential and banking place a premium on balance and rotation, rewarding teams that refine mechanical grip during practice.

Silverstone’s broader weekend delivers storylines across categories, with the British Grand Prix results framing the track evolution drivers navigated across sessions.

This Feature Race underlines the championship’s competitive spread. Palmowski executes cleanly, Felbermayr sustains pressure, and newcomers like Battig add jeopardy that can influence strategic choices through qualifying.
