MODERATORS
Putting Pin into an F1 car would have been irresponsible. At least Antonelli did a season of F2 this year. Pin is struggling in FRECA, she needs to improve to F3 or F2.
I'd love to see her get a shot in F2. It's a bummer Formula W is so far distant in terms of power from the "main" Formula feeders
I can't speak to her performance in FRECA, I've not watched it - but her recent races in the F1 Acad have been more than decent. She's super consistent with whatever she's given, even if it's got a lot less power in the back than F1.
F2 or F3 would do her a world of good in terms of being marketable to F1 teams though, I can't argue with that - but I can't see Antonelli's oodles of experience either, like Bottas or others before him who have been thrown in at the deep end.
I would absolutely love to see Pin or Abbi Pulling rag an F1 car about for a session and see what times they put in.
Pin is currently 26th in FRECA, having not participated in 5 rounds. Last year's Academy champion Marta Garcia is 27th directly behind her but did do all rounds.
Now, I don't know how close Iron Dames and Prema collaborate, but the Prema drivers in FRECA are in 1st (Camara), 5 (Wharton) and 10 (Ugo). So my best guess would be that Prema will promote one or two of them to F3 next year and not Pin.
