She was disqualified from a Danish F4 race last year because of illegal tyres, and then there's the story around her guest drive in US F4 - she turned up, dominated practice and then withdrew after an argument between Hideki and the team boss Jay Howard. No specific reason was given, but considering what happened in Denmark...

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

This is waste of time. Who in their right mind chose Barcelona AND Paul Ricard AND Hungaroring for W Series this year, instead of going to Red Bull Ring, Monza or Spa.

Those clouds look ominous...
Powell almost misses formation lap, but manages to get going.

Nope, apparently you need to be in formation before SC line 1, which seems to needlessly pressure drivers into overtaking on the formation lap if they stall on the grid and could potentially cause accidents

Oh well, the only overtake so far means nothing, what a shame

Yeah, she could have avoided penalty by going race speed on the formation lap. Wonder if that's allowed.

I don't think it's possible with everyone weaving around like that, you risk having a schumi/minardi accident from China 05

What, they can't change tyres during the race? Instead they have to red flag the race.
What a lame series. Pitstop chaos is the best thing in motorsport when it's raining.

I like this is the one weekend a year I'm about 30 seconds ahead of you all instead of about 2 mins behind :lol:

Very clumsy of Pulling. Probably a 5 second penalty.

Unlike what the commentators said about damage, I thought it was clear she was letting her back by so maybe with the new rules this year, that'll be enough for the stewards?

lol who am I kidding, they love getting involved ;)

I want this series to do well but it's kind of hard when Chadwick is the only winner.

The hype for this series is going nowhere with Chadwick winning all the races :roll:
