Chadwick wins the W Series from her sofa
Briton Jamie Chadwick has been crowned as the W Series champion for the third time after the season’s remainder was cancelled.
The 24-year-old Jenner Motorsport driver has won five times this term and already had one hand on the crown with a 50-point buffer ahead of Dutch racer Beitske Visser. Chadwick won the inaugural W Series crown in 2019 and then she claimed the title again in 2021 following the 2020 series being axed due to the global health pandemic.
Bath racer Chadwick said she was disappointed with the decision to end the series early. “I really wanted to go to Austin and Mexico and finish the season on track, but it’s the way things have happened. It’s unfortunate, but it’s fortunate things have fallen my way championship-wise,” she said.
“It’s one of those, down the line I won’t even remember thinking about it like this, but at the same time you always want to have the best opportunity to win it on track. It’s mixed emotions; I wasn’t hoping to be sat at home then finding out I’d won a championship rather than maybe winning it on track, but it’s how it falls this time, I guess.”
