EVERY 2026 F1A RACE WINNER:

MONTREAL — ROUND 2 — RACE 2: MATHILDA PAATZ (ASTON MARTIN)

[frontwingdamage55]

imagine being mathilda paatz and you get a wildcard entry for montreal in 2025 and you have terrible luck during all 3 races there and then you come back in 2026 and score your first f1a podium followed immediately by your first f1a win after some nuts overtaking moves. she mogged.

Hi! I figured it could be fun to do some F1 Academy predictions before the Montreal GP next weekend so I made a form where you can share your thoughts! The form should let you see the results afterwards, so you can see what other people are thinking as well once you complete it! Feel free to fill in as many or as few questions as you'd like!

F1A Round 2 Predictions!

LETS GO MONTREAL!!!!!!

[frontwingdamage55]

i think about the fact that lella lombardi is not only the first woman to score points in f1 but also one or only two openly queer drivers to score in f1 almost daily. what a star.

[ctrlaltdeleteyourfeelings]

She’s exactly who she thinks she is.

[frontwingdamage55]

F1A SHANGHAI QUALI IS DONE!

here are my predictions for the races:

sprint race:

1. nina

2. payton

3. lisa

fl: payton

other predictions: nina leads every lap, rafa and natalia will make contact and drop back, mathilda paatz will gain the most places

feature race

1. alisha

2. emma

3. ella l

fl: alba

other predictions: alba goes wide on first lap but recovers to the points, someone has a mechanical dns, ella lloyd overtaking masterclass, all 6 returning drivers score points

this seasons looking to be feisty!

*note: these are just me speculating, anything can happen and i’m sure 90% of this will be wrong*

[frontwingdamage55]

most of the 2025 f1a grads appear to have plans set in place for 2026 🥹

aurelia is going to gb3, lia is doing ara, chloe chong will be competing in nls, doriane is doing elms and mercedes sim work, and chloe chambers is a finalist for the imsa 3d scholarship and is set to announce her plans for this year soon

ferrari you better find something for maya rn or i will sue

he kept the long fluffy hair for the opening title

[frontwingdamage55]

since today’s the big day, i figure it’d be fun to give my top 3 and team champ predictions in each category:

f1

1. oscar piastri

2. george russell

3. lando norris

team champ: mclaren by a very slim margin

this year is gonna be a close one and i think it will go all the way to abu dhabi

f2

1. alex dunne

2. joshua dürksen

3. rafa câmara

team champ: invicta

so many names on the roster that could be competitive this year, but i think dunne will ultimately take it if he can keep it cleaner on track

f3

1. ugo ugochukwu

2. freddie slater

3. theophile nael

team champ: campos

i think it’s a pretty clear fight between ugochukwu and slater

and now most importantly:

f1 academy

1. ella lloyd

2. alisha palmowski

3. nina gademan

team champ: rodin

we’re going into this season with a super competitive grid with some of the most well-suited rookies we’ve had in a while (paatz, westcott, stevens, and bruce will almost certainly be competitive from the jump). ella is coming off of a season where she looked very at home on the grid and had very few mistakes, and besides her two retirements, she never landed outside the points with a lowest finish of 8th. alisha similarly came in strong already with obvious pace and has displayed pace in almost every series she’s been in thus far, but i think she’s had a few more mistakes and tangles with other drivers that will cost her points if they continue into this season. i think it will be an incredibly close battle between these two and it will be very cool seeing them also battle at silverstone where they’re both very experienced. gademan is goated and i see her having a foot in this battle as well, but, similarly to alisha, she got into a lot of tangles with other drivers last year that i hope she can stay clear of this year (i also think her move to mp was a very good choice for her). the team championship is harder to predict as while prema has obviously dominated in the past, i think it will be harder with an entirely new lineup of younger drivers. i can see mp and rodin being the favorites to win the title this year.

anyways these are my thoughts. i’m probably gonna be wrong. that’s ok. happy race season!

[frontwingdamage55]

we need to storm prema’s headquarters and find out who this final f1a driver is

Driver Profile - Jade Jacquet

Jade Jacquet (born December 1st, 2009) is a French racing driver born in Lestrem, France. Jade is relatively new to the sport compared to the other entrants in the 2026 F1 Academy, but has been watching the world for many years through her older brother’s recreational hobby.

Jade started karting towards the end of 2023, moving quickly onto the RMC International Trophy with family support - finishing without points -  and also the French Junior Karting Championships in 2024 with FFSA Academy, where she finished 14th in the standings. In September of 2024, she tested an F4 car for the first time.

Jade joined the French F4 grid in 2025, continuing her relationship with FFSA Academy, where she finished 24th, but didn’t score points in the field of 30 drivers. Jade welcomed sponsors such as BRM chronographs and Ravage Auto in 2025, as well to finance and support her motorsport journey continually as well as the financing from FFSA

Jade moved to and trained at Le Man for a year throughout her time in karting and her beginning time as a rookie in F4, and continues to study there with FFSA Academy, like many of her other competitors. 

In 2025, Jade was selected to take part in the F1 Academy rookie test at Navarra at 15 years old, finishing 11th in the first session and 7th in the second session. Her data impressed the teams watching, and Williams offered her a position on the 2026 F1 Academy grid with ART GP, replacing their first drive,r Lia Block. 

In 2026, Jade became the only female driver currently in the Williams Driver Academy and is set to debut with the team in March in Shanghai.

oscar you are the funniest person alive

[maggieithink-06]

who do you think are driver 14 & 4 ?

I feel like i'm running out of female F4 level drivers to fill the grid ! Megan Bruce maybe ?

Soooo up in the cord we were discussing this and we got it down to Megan Bruce for Campos most likely. jake ( @frontwingdamage55) reported that shes apparently not on the entry list for FWS this weekend either while another candidate (Zoe florescu potolea) was. So if i were a betting woman i would say driver #4 is most likely Megan Bruce

As for number 14, i think it could be any number of girls, the seat is for Wella and likely going to be with prema! They should be taking from the rookie test like they had for the other drivers and its really all up in the air! I had hoped it would be Emily Cotty or Alexia Danielsson but neither are at testing!

Alien merc!

Fred's natural aeygo is so refreshing

director said 'we need a mastercard sponsorship' but emma heard 'you need to serve facecard' and she did.
