Chadwick has worked hard on her strength to ensure she can handle the car on track.
"These are physical cars, and coming from something like W Series, which is probably closer to an F4 car, I knew it was going to be a challenge," she said.
"But until you're really in the thick of it and in the season, you don't really know. For that reason, I was underprepared last year.
"I beefed up quite a bit over the off-season, which has definitely helped and paid off this year."
