Briton Palmowski wins F1 Academy title

Britain's Alisha Palmowski says that winning the F1 Academy title is "a dream come true".

The 20-year-old finished second in Saturday's reverse grid race at the Circuit of the Americas, which was enough to be crowned champion before Sunday's feature race and the season finale in Las Vegas in November.

Palmowski becomes the youngest champion of the all-female development series, and is the second British driver to win the title after Abbi Pulling in 2024.

She drives for Campos Racing and is part of the Red Bull driver academy.

Glossop-born Palmowski has won five out of the 11 races held so far this season, only finishing outside of the points once during the reverse grid race at Zandvoort.
