In a difficult Qualifying session around the tricky streets of Las Vegas, Ella could only muster 10th position on the starting grid, but she surged into contention in Race 1 in wet conditions, latching onto the rear of the lead train early on. However, a minor mistake saw her slide into the barriers and ended her race.
Undeterred, Ella showed fight to bounce back strongly in Race 2, rising from 10th place on the grid to finish in sixth position, stylishly passing rivals through the illuminated streets of Sin City. The result not only secured Ella fourth place in the overall standings, having placed inside the points in 12 of the 14 races, but netted her the honour of being the highest-placed rookie in the 2025 campaign, overcoming some tough opposition.
The season sets Ella up strongly to make the next step in 2026, when she will return to F1A, continuing with support from McLaren Racing.
