PREMA Racing signed off the second round of the 2025 F1 Academy season with a podium finish and all three cars in the points in both races. Delivering a solid all-around performance at Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Doriane Pin qualified second and went from seventh place of the reverse grid to P4 in Race 1, setting the fastest lap of the race.
In Race 2, she dropped one spot at the start but was in contention for the win for much of the race, before having to settle for a close third.
Tina Hausmann had one of her best weekends in the series to date with a double sixth-place finish and some positive steps taken in an impressive run overall.
Coming from a testing crash in testing at Jeddah, Nina Gademan also posted two points finishes despite still not being in her 100 percent shape. Once again, the potential was there, and, together with the whole team, she will be back for more in Miami for the next challenge.

"Coming into the weekend we knew it was going to be more of a challenge than usual considering the incident we had in testing. I was determined to be on track despite not feeling 100 percent and we were able to complete the full weekend without too many issues so I think we can be quite proud about that. In Race 1, we benefitted from the safety car and made up a position in the end so I gained points. In Race 2, I had a good start, gained two positions which was good as well, and managed the race effectively in the final stages to take P7. Now the focus will be to keep the improvement and get it right for the rest of the season and I am already looking ahead to Miami."

"Overall a decent weekend although not perfect. Race 2 was a bit tough. The pace was good until Saturday, while on Sunday we were missing a bit. We need to analyze the situation, but I know I have an excellent team around me. We are good workers and we can bring good improvements. I look forward to coming back to America and I'm not too worried, it's only the beginning of the season."
#78 TINA HAUSMANN
"Race weekend done here in Jeddah, and overall, it was a positive one, which was exactly what we needed. We got points in both races, finishing in P6 twice. I think we made good progress and everything is starting to come together. We are up with the front pack, and closing the gap. We need to work a bit more to unlock some more pace. We'll be in the simulator soon to prepare for the next race in Miami in two weeks, and I'm excited about it. There are steps to be made, but we have a long season ahead."
