Alisha Palmowski secured the 2026 F1 Academy title by finishing second in Saturday's reverse-grid race at the Circuit of the Americas, after starting eighth.
Alisha Palmowski clinched the 2026 F1 Academy title at the Circuit of the Americas after climbing from eighth to second in Saturday's reverse-grid race. Ferrari's Alba Larsen took the win.
Palmowski, a Campos Racing driver racing under the Red Bull Academy Programme, had also won Friday's opening race. That victory helped build an advantage that was unassailable before Sunday's feature race.
The title was settled before the season finale in Las Vegas, but the exact points margin will only be confirmed after the Austin feature race and the closing round in Las Vegas.
Palmowski is set to receive F1 Academy's funded progression package, which typically includes a seat and testing allocation in a higher single-seater category such as FRECA or GB3.
