F1 Academy has released a statement following an incident during testing at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. The all-female series confirmed that Alpine F1-supported driver Nina Gademan had been transferred to hospital after an incident. Gademan, who competes for PREMA Racing with support from Alpine, finished 15th and 10th in the two season-opening races a fortnight ago in Shanghai. It is the Dutch driver's maiden F1 Academy season, having made two appearances as a wildcard last year at Zandvoort. F1 Academy confirmed that the 21-year-old was conscious, with the hospital transfer having been for precautionary checks. The category's statement read: "F1 Academy confirms that an incident occurred today, Saturday 5th April, during testing at Jeddah Corniche Circuit involving the driver of car #3, Nina Gademan.
