Hannah hits the points on F1 Academy wildcard appearance

09 December 2024

GB4 race winner Logan Hannah delivered an an accomplished performance on her F1 Academy debut in Abu Dhabi, scoring points in the second race of the weekend.

After overcoming technical issues in practice, Hannah edged closer to the pace in qualifying, putting her Away-branded Prema car 16th on the grid for all three races. 

In her first single-seater appearance for two years, she gained two spots to finish race one in 14th place, but went even better in the second to claim 10th spot, and a point after a a dramatic contest.

She came close again in race three, added to the schedule following the cancellation of the final Qatar race a week ago, moving neatly up the order to take 12th place. 

"Going into the weekend, I expected it to be hard and it definitely met those expectations!" Hannah said afterwards. "Three strong races and zero mistakes rewarded me with three good results and a finish in the points!

"Jumping in as the final wild card with one day of testing and limited running in practice due to an electrical gremlin definitely added to the challenge but I’ve loved every moment I got in the car this weekend and hopefully showed what I have to give!

"Congratulations and thank you to Prema for believing in me and pushing me all weekend and thank you to Away, Susie Wolff and F1 Academy for this incredible opportunity!"
