Mathilda Paatz experienced a rollercoaster of emotions on the second race weekend of the French Formula 4 Championship in Ledenon: although the 15-year-old put in a solid performance in all sessions, technical problems with her Formula 4 car slowed her down several times. In addition, the hill-and-valley circuit in the south of France is particularly demanding and energy-sapping, which pushed Paatz to her physical limits. Nevertheless, the ADAC Sports Foundation protégée made a good impression, which she underpinned with a 17th place in the second race. After a promising start in Nogaro, Paatz once again proved her potential in the fiercely contested championship.
