Despite netting a top-five finish in her first F1 ACADEMY weekend, Emma Felbermayr believes more should have been possible in Race 2 in Shanghai.

Netting a top-five finish in your first F1 ACADEMY weekend might be a good day in the office for some, but Emma Felbermayr believes more should have been possible in Race 2 in Shanghai.
Felbermayr quickly dispatched Joanne Ciconte following the rolling start for fifth and fended off an attack from Nina Gademan. The Kick Sauber driver spent the next eight laps staring at Alisha Palmowski’s rear wing, until a gutsy move saw her go side by side with the Red Bull Racing driver and snatch P5.
