• Fourth place enough for British driver despite starting on pole
Nerveless throughout the season, Jamie Chadwick did just enough at Brands Hatch to claim the championship title of the inaugural season of the W Series after a race that left her fraught and frayed at the edges. The 21-year-old ultimately showed a class and a maturity beyond her years, enough indeed to head home with the $500,000 (£415,000) winner’s prize.
However, it was only after the British driver’s usual calm control had seemed to almost evaporate after 30 minutes of racing during which her championship might have slipped away. “I have been under this sort of pressure before,” she said. “But it’s a lot different when there is half a million at stake.”
