W Series: Jamie Chadwick wins again in Miami, Emma Kimilainen in more late drama

Jamie Chadwick claims W Series double to start her title defence in style; Chadwick untroubled in Race Two ahead of Nerea Marti and Alice Powell; W Series returns at Spanish GP on May 20-22

Jamie Chadwick ensured the dream start to her W Series title defence by claiming a Miami double with a lights-to-flag victory in Race Two.

In a much more dominant display from the Briton after a closely-fought opener on Saturday, Chadwick led every lap of Sunday’s race from pole and she has taken the maximum points from the all-female series’ first weekend of the season.

Chadwick won by almost three seconds from Nerea Marti, while Alice Powell was third despite contact with Emma Kimilainen on the penultimate lap.

In more late drama for Kimilainen after she crashed at the end of Saturday’s opener, the Finnish driver – who battled Marti fiercely for second – spun at Turn 17 and Powell couldn’t avoid her.
