The F1 ACADEMY storylines to get excited about at Zandvoort

F1 Academy heads to Zandvoort for Round 5 after the summer break, with the title fight intensifying. Doriane Pin, fresh from her third win in Montreal, has reclaimed the Drivers' standings lead, now holding a 20-point advantage over new closest rival Chloe Chambers, who secured her maiden victory. Maya Weug dropped to third after a challenging Canadian weekend. Pin, who achieved a clean sweep at Zandvoort last year, has a prime opportunity to further extend her lead. Meanwhile, PREMA Racing has surged to a 27-point lead in the Teams' Standings. Alba Larsen remains the highest-placed driver without a podium, showing consistent performance and recently joining the Ferrari Driver Academy for 2026.
