195 cars, 9 championships, 25 races, more than 50 on-track sessions, and a non-stop flow of excitement!
Race 4 of the Italian Formula 4 Championship wrapped up the week at 8:00 PM (CET) on Sunday, closing out what will go down as a historic chapter in the Tatuus story. The 195 cars that set the all-time record put on a show across 25 races, run in everything from summer heat to torrential rain — the latter even forcing the cancellation of Race 2 in the Formula 1 Academy.
For many categories, it was the season opener. For others, it was a prestigious round at an iconic venue. For all, it was a great success.
Formula 1 Academy
As mentioned, F1 Academy had to cancel Sunday’s race due to a heavy storm that hit the Miami circuit just minutes before lights out. On Saturday, however, the field delivered a fiercely competitive race full of wheel-to-wheel action, won by Doriane Pin (Prema Racing, Mercedes livery) ahead of Alisha Palmowski and Chloe Chambers (both Campos Racing, racing in Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Ford liveries respectively). Maya Weug (MP Motorsport, Ferrari livery) finished fourth, keeping her lead in the standings by a single point.
Next up: Montreal, June 13–15, the midway point of the season.
Formula 4 Italia
The season kicked off in Misano with an incredible 41 drivers and cars on the grid. Prema Racing dominated, with Kean Nakamura-Berta taking three wins out of four, and Sebastian Wheldon winning Race 1. Over the course of the weekend, podium finishes also went to Maksimilian Popov (Van Amersfoort Racing), Salim Hanna (Prema), Emanuele Olivieri (R-Ace GP), and Gabriel Gomez (US Racing).
After a two-week break, Italian F4 will return to the track in Vallelunga (May 23–25).
Formula Regional EU Championship by Alpine
Just like F4 Italia, FRECA also kicked off its 2025 campaign at Misano. Race 1 on Saturday saw Matteo De Palo (Trident) take the win ahead of Evan Giltaire (ART Grand Prix) and Rashid Al Dhaheri (Prema). Giltaire responded by winning Race 2 on Sunday, followed by Freddie Slater (Prema) and De Palo.
FRECA takes just one week off before heading to the legendary corners of Spa.
British F4
It was back-to-back weekends for the Wera Tools British F4 Championship: after opening at Donington (April 26–27), the action moved to Silverstone, where Rodin Motorsport dominated. James Piszcyk won Races 1 and 3, while Adam Al Azhari claimed Race 2. Other podium finishers included Fionn McLaughlin (Hitech TGR), Martin Molnar (Virtuosi Racing), Tommy Harfield (Chris Dittmann Racing), and Rowan Campbell-Pilling (JHR Developments).
Only 8 points separate Australian Piszcyk (79) from Irishman McLaughlin (71). They and a tightly packed field will go head-to-head again at Snetterton, May 24–25.
Spanish F4
The second round of the Spanish F4 season took place at Navarra under ever-changing weather conditions — but that didn’t faze René Lammers (MP Motorsport), who claimed two wins and a second-place finish. Thomas Strauven (Campos) was a regular on the podium, and his teammate Jan Przyrowski won Race 1 and finished third in Race 2. Ean Eyckmans (MP Motorsport) took the final remaining podium finish.
The series now pauses for a month before heading to Portimão on June 6–8.
USF Juniors
The youngest drivers in the USF ladder raced alongside the IndyCar Series at the “Alabama Roller Coaster” Barber Motorsports Park. Leonardo Escorpioni (Zanella Racing), starting from pole in all three races, won Races 1 and 2. His teammate Ty Fisher took victory in Race 3 and narrowly holds the championship lead — by a single point — over the Brazilian.
Oliver Wheldon (VRD Racing) earned a pair of podiums — on the same day his older brother Sebastian won in Italian F4 at Misano.
While USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 prepare for May at Indianapolis starting this weekend with the Indy GP, the USF Juniors return to the track on June 6–8 in Lexington, Ohio.
F4 Brasil
Three races, three winners, three different teams — that’s how the 2025 season opened at Interlagos. Ciro Sobral (TMG Racing), Murilo Rocha (Starrett Bassani), and Ethan Nobels (Cavaleiro Sports) each took one win. Nobels currently leads the standings with 52 points, ahead of Heitor Dell’Agnol and Pietro Mesquita (both TMG Racing) with 37 and 31 points respectively.
The next round takes place June 27–28 at Autodromo Velo Città in Mogi Guaçu.
Formula 4 NACAM
Zaky Ibrahim (Ram Racing) continued his dominant run in Mexico City, winning all three races. Fernando Luque (Alessandros) was a consistent podium finisher, while Alex Popow Jr (Alessandros) and Marco Alquicira (Santinel Racing Team) split the remaining top-three finishes.
The championship returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on June 20–21.
Formula 4 SEA
After a year-long break, Formula 4 Southeast Asia returned to Sepang. Alex Sawer and Evans GP swept the weekend with three wins. Rishon Rajeev (BlackArts Racing Team) and Seth Gilmore (Evans GP) each earned two podiums, while Iñigo Anton and Ben Ana Nguyen (both BlackArts) took one apiece.
F4 SEA looks ahead to May 24–25 for its next round at Thailand’s Buriram International Circuit.
