2021 W Series

[5] After Formula One made slight amendments to its calendar, the W Series moved its first event from Circuit Paul Ricard to the Red Bull Ring.

[10] Prioritising the importance of driver skill within the championship, and to ensure technical equality, all 18 cars, although sporting a variety of liveries and team names, will remain mechanically identical, with preparation and maintenance managed by W Series Engineering.

Having qualified outside the top five, reigning champion Jamie Chadwick was punted off the circuit on the second lap by Jessica Hawkins, but would recover to finish in the points.

Marta García broke down with a gearbox failure and the resulting safety car restart saw Beitske Visser taken out of a podium position by Emma Kimiläinen.

Alice Powell remained untroubled throughout, taking a wire-to-wire win ahead of Moore and Fabienne Wohlwend, who avoided all the chaos to finish third having started ninth.

Irina Sidorkova, the youngest driver on the grid, overtook multiple cars off the circuit at the first corner but went unpenalised, surviving a battle with Kimiläinen to finish second.

[23] Chadwick claimed a commanding win in the fourth round of the season in Budapest, beating Powell by ten seconds in a mostly uneventful race.

A lack of overtaking due to a design flaw with the Formula Regional cars resulted in an uninspiring race, however Tomaselli did spin on the formation lap.

[27] The series ended with a double-header at the Circuit of the Americas, and Chadwick immediately gained the upper hand by qualifying on the front row for both races whilst Powell was mired at the back of the top ten.

Local driver Sabré Cook, who had been uncompetitive all season having struggled with a hip injury, was taken out of a points finish by Hawkins in the final laps.
