the frenetic Race 1<\/a>, the Ferrari-backed driver started on pole position on home soil and survived an early challenge from McLaren\u2019s Ella Lloyd before charging away to cross the line seven seconds clear of her nearest rival.<\/p>\nA rapid start from Lloyd saw her take a position from Palmowski on the opening lap, with the pair battling for the majority of the race before the Welsh driver was handed a five-second time penalty for a false start.<\/p>\n
This promoted Mercedes\u2019 Pin to the final podium spot at the chequered flag, keeping her firmly at the top of the standings with two rounds of the series remaining.<\/p>\n
The day was less positive for Race 1 podium finisher Lia Block, who also made a false start after mistakenly pulling into Chloe Chambers\u2019 grid slot \u2013 the Red Bull Ford driver and title contender suffering a mechanical issue on the formation lap and therefore unable to take part in the race, leaving her spot empty. While Block realised her issue, the stewards gave her a 10-second time penalty which dropped her out of the points.<\/p>\n
With Lloyd demoted to P4, Aston Martin\u2019s Tina Hausmann and yesterday\u2019s winner Nina Gademan took fifth and sixth respectively, while Esmee Kosterman became the first Wild Card entry to score points this season.<\/p>\n
Racing Bulls\u2019 Rafaela Ferreira improved from 11th to eighth position, and Alba Larsen and Chloe Chong rounded out the points scorers as they benefitted from Block\u2019s early error.<\/p>\n
