[F1A] Impressive wildcard driver Lisa Billard battled for Pole Position today (www.f1academy.com)

I was watching the quality session for F1 Academg today and was quite impressed with Lisa Billard, who is their wildcard driver this race weekend.

Coming into a series, a team and a track that are new to her, it was really impressive to see her take provisional pole multiple times. In the end she qualified P5 for the main race.

For comparison, Megan Bruce who also has her debut weekend here, and is even driving for the same team as Billard, qualified P15.

For context on Billard: She turned 16 a month ago, and finished P19 this French F4 season with one point finishing race. Doesn't sound like much on paper, but was successful in French Karting and is still very young - she debuted in F4 when barely 15 years old, which is F4's minimum age. Plus she's managed by Ocon's ex-manager and in Renault's driver academy (the latter might be a negative lol).
