Alisha Palmowski has been making her mark on the F1 ACADEMY field this season, but there’s a lot more to the Red Bull Racing driver than just her on-track performances.

Earlier in the season, we put the Briton through her paces to find out what joining the series meant to her, how a video game was the catalyst for her racing journey and why Palmowski’s going to put her fancy footwork to practice on the pedals rather than the dancefloor.

Alisha Palmowski was delighted at how she and her Campos Racing team overcame their initial setbacks, but believes there is still more pace to come. 

Alisha Palmowski’s first visit to the Circuit Zandvoort got off to the perfect start after the Red Bull Racing driver topped the timesheets on the first day of in-season testing in the Netherlands. 
Behind the scenes, Palmowski initially struggled to find the right balance in the car on a track known to push the drivers to the limit. Despite a moment at Turn 9 in the latter stages of running, the Briton immediately bounced back and delivered a 1:38.074 to beat Maya Weug to the fastest time by 0.087s.

Alisha Palmowski was the one to beat on the opening day of in-season testing in Zandvoort, the Netherlands. The Red Bull Racing driver set a 1:38.074 in the final minutes of the afternoon running to seal the fastest time of Day 1, pipping Maya Weug to the top spot.
It was a Campos Racing clean sweep after Chloe Chambers put together a late improvement to lead the morning session ahead of Weug and Aurelia Nobels.
