Alisha Palmowski extended her lead at the top of the 2026 F1 Academy Drivers’ standings after claiming victory in the Feature Race at the British GP.
The Campos Racing driver passed Wild Card entrant Chiara Bättig at Turn 1 and controlled the race from there, taking her third win of the season. Bättig finished second to become the first Wild Card driver to stand on an F1 Academy podium, while Emma Felbermayr completed the top three.
Palmowski now leads the Drivers’ standings on 108 points, 30 clear of Felbermayr. Meanwhile, Campos Racing extended its Teams’ standings lead to 53 points over Rodin Motorsport.
Palmowski extends F1 Academy Drivers’ standings lead after British GP Feature Race victory
Palmowski entered the Feature Race with a 19-point advantage over Felbermayr after the Reverse Grid Race. However, her Silverstone victory allowed her to stretch that gap significantly.
The Briton added 26 points across the Feature Race classification, moving from 82 to 108 points. As a result, she now holds a 30-point lead over Felbermayr with the next round at Zandvoort still to come.
Palmowski also strengthened Campos Racing’s position in the Teams’ standings. Her Feature Race win added another major haul after the team had already controlled the opening two rounds.
Felbermayr remains second after another podium finish
Felbermayr followed her Reverse Grid Race victory with third place in the Feature Race, completing a strong Silverstone weekend.
The Rodin Motorsport driver added 15 points, moving from 63 to 78. Although Palmowski extended the gap, Felbermayr remains firmly second in the Drivers’ standings and now sits 28 points ahead of Nina Gademan.
Felbermayr’s podium also helped Rodin Motorsport consolidate second in the Teams’ standings, with Ella Lloyd’s fifth place adding further points for the team.
Gademan holds third as Lloyd joins Bruce on points
Gademan finished fourth in the Feature Race, adding 12 points to her total. That result moved the MP Motorsport driver from 38 to 50 points and kept her third in the standings.
Megan Bruce remains fourth on 39 points after finishing ninth, while Lloyd’s fifth-place finish lifted her onto the same total. However, Bruce stays ahead on countback.
Payton Westcott drops to sixth on 36 points, while Maya Paatz sits seventh on 35 after both drivers finished outside the points in the Feature Race.
Bättig climbs after historic Wild Card podium
Bättig produced one of the standout stories of the weekend. After claiming pole on Friday, the Swiss Wild Card driver finished second in the Feature Race and became the first Wild Card entrant to score an F1 Academy podium.
Her 20-point Feature Race haul moved her from 16th to 11th in the Drivers’ standings on 22 points. Natalia Granada also moved to 23 points after finishing seventh, while Alba Larsen added one point for 10th and now sits ninth on 24.
Rafaela Ferreira remains eighth on 27 points after retiring from the Feature Race following contact with Ella Stevens. Ferreira also received a five-place grid penalty for the next race she competes in.
