F1 Academy, British F4 and AU4: the Tatuus weekend debrief
From the European paddocks of Zandvoort and Donington to Sydney: a weekend packed with actionOvertakes and wheel-to-wheel battles across every category. From F1 Academy – racing in Zandvoort alongside Formula 1 – to the penultimate round of AU4 , and a surprising weekend in British F4 as the championship heads into its decisive final two rounds.
F1 Academy Among the Zandvoort dunes, it was the anthem of the home crowd that set the tone, as the Dutch drivers dominated from qualifying to the final race. The spotlight was on Maya Weug (Ferrari – MP Motorsport) , who first claimed pole position on Saturday morning with a margin of just 0.039s over Alisha Palmowski (Red Bull – Campos) , before starring in a thrilling comeback drive in Race 1 on Saturday afternoon. In the reverse-grid race won by fellow Dutch driver Nina Gademan (Alpine – Prema) , the Ferrari Driver Academy talent charged from eighth on the grid to secure third place at the flag, just behind Lia Block (Williams – ART GP) , who celebrated her maiden F1 Academy podium.
On Sunday morning, Weug made the most of her pole position, leading every lap to take victory ahead of Palmowski and Doriane Pin (Mercedes – Prema) . Pin still holds the overall championship lead, 20 points clear of Weug, with two rounds (four races) remaining.
Next stop: Singapore, October 3–5.
British F4 At Donington Park, the British F4 championship kicked off its final stretch of the season with three different winners across three races. Tommy Harfield (CDR) claimed his first victory of the year in Race 1, while Race 2 saw Australian Jimmy Piszcyk (Rodin) return to the top step after a ten-race drought. Race 3, however, wrote a new page in the series’ history: Belgian Dries Van Langendonck (Rodin) , part of the McLaren Development Programme, took victory on his single-seater debut, becoming the youngest race winner ever in British F4. Having turned 15 on Saturday – the minimum age required to compete – he immediately marked the occasion by claiming pole position, then converting it into a race win the following day.
In the standings, Fionn McLaughlin (Hitech) remains in the lead, 45.5 points ahead of Piszcyk . Next round: Silverstone, September 19–21.
AU4 The penultimate round of the Australian championship in Sydney saw Noah Killon (AGI Sport) take victories in Race 1 and Race 2, while Isaac McNeill (Volante Rosso) answered back by winning Race 3.
The title battle could not be closer: Killon now leads on 237 points, with McNeill just one point behind at 236 – setting up a thrilling season finale, once again at Sydney Motorsport Park.

“Italy is a global benchmark in the mechanical and mechatronic fields”
CEO Giovanni Delfino’s words on Radio SportivaSpeaking on Radio Sportiva, CEO Giovanni Delfino touched on several key aspects of Tatuus and the Group’s activities, ranging from its wide array of engineering projects to its commitment to the F1 Academy, and moving on to the safety and the Group’s overall structure.
Engineering and design “Designing a new single-seater is a challenging process that brings great satisfaction. Tatuus operates in a segment with a clear mission: to foster the discovery and development of talent. Designing cars that serve this purpose is complex, because it requires a constant pursuit of the perfect balance, ensuring that every driver can showcase and nurture their skills. The performance of each car and each ATM engine powering them must be identical, allowing drivers to prove themselves and compete solely based on their abilities.
For Tatuus, this is highly stimulating not only in the design phase, but also once the cars hit the track, when the constant analysis of data allows us to follow, step by step, the growth of hundreds of young talents every year. It is a true privilege to see them progress from our single-seaters all the way to the pinnacle of Formula 1. In fact, 19 out of 20 current F1 drivers have raced in one of our cars during their career path.”
F1 Academy "The question often arises: will we see a female driver who grew up in F1 Academy one day driving a Formula 1 car? Many still struggle to imagine this happening today, but 10 years ago, no one could have imagined an Italian tennis player at the top of the world rankings either.
This is not about miracles, but about paths built on hard work: the same hard work the F1 Academy drivers are putting in today. It’s both a technical and physical effort, paired with the natural talent these girls have. And with their immense courage, as shown by the spectacular moves they perform on track.”
Safety in racing “Formula 4 and Formula Regional are categories where drivers gain their first real experience. This brings them to face every situation on track with great enthusiasm and boldness. We see them racing on the world’s most iconic circuits, arriving at legendary and challenging corners with four, five, or even six cars side by side. Clearly, this creates risks – and for us, it means the responsibility of designing the safest possible product. Not by chance, our cars are homologated according to the strictest standards in motorsport, with loads and procedures identical to those required in the top categories.
The desire to stand out can lead to spectacular accidents, but our job is to ensure that, thanks to the quality of our cars, drivers come out of these situations unharmed.”
The Group and the future “Our journey started in 2017 with Tatuus and ATM, thanks to the vision of President Gianfranco De Bellis. Today, we unite several niche Italian motorsport companies, and it is precisely this Italian identity that I like to emphasize, because Italy, in the mechanical and mechatronic fields, is a global benchmark.
Italian motorsport is made up of many prestigious entities, which we bring together to expand the Group’s know-how both horizontally and vertically – in the single-seater world as well as in GT (with YCOM, a relevant player in the sector) and Karting.
The near future holds major news: many things are about to happen, always with the goal of supporting drivers throughout their entire journey in motorsport.”

USF Pro Championships: A Thrilling and Successful 2025 Season
After the final round in Portland, the story of an exciting season163 days, from February 28 to August 10. Over this period, spanning 24 weekends, the 2025 USF Pro Championships hosted 22 rounds : 8 for USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 (always sharing the track) and 6 for USF Juniors.
As tradition dictates, with most events sharing the paddock with the IndyCar Series , each category delivered hard-fought races and shake-ups in the overall standings, across a calendar that once again showcased its most iconic rounds: jewels in the crown of American motorsport, starting from the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida , and shining brightest in the month of May at Indianapolis .
USF Pro 2000 The season opened with a fierce rivalry between Alessandro De Tullio (Turn 3) and Max Garcia (Pabst) , who shared the spoils in the first two rounds at St. Pete and NOLA. The Indianapolis month saw Ariel Elkin (TJ Speed) shine, claiming two wins out of three at the Indy GP weekend and also taking victory at the most fascinating event of the year – the oval at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park . From that point, Elkin emerged as Garcia’s main challenger, but the latter went on an unstoppable run from the next round onward, securing 7 wins in 9 races between Road America, Mid-Ohio, Toronto, and Portland. His title was sealed in Toronto, with one round to spare, leaving the fight for second place to Elkin (who ultimately claimed it), De Tullio, and Mac Clark (Exclusive Autosport) – the latter enjoying a remarkably consistent season with 11 podiums, though missing the satisfaction of a race win.
USF 2000 In the sister category, the first two rounds seemed to have already set the tone for the season, thanks to Liam McNeilly’s (Jay Howard) five consecutive wins. The twist came at the Indy GP, when the British driver was unable to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway due to circumstances beyond his control, which also kept him out of the subsequent rounds. A brand-new season effectively began, with a balanced three-way fight between Jack Jeffers (Exclusive Autosport), Teddy Musella (VRD), and Thomas Schrage (VRD) , who shared most of the available points over the next three rounds – with the sole exception of the Freedom 75 on the Indy oval, won by Anthony Martella (Jay Howard) . From Mid-Ohio onward, Jeffers shifted into high gear and never stepped off the podium (5 wins and 3 second places), clinching the overall title in the final round at Portland.
USF Juniors Fourteen podium finishes (including 6 wins) in 16 races – a perfect trajectory to secure the entry level of the “Road to Indy” ladder. The driver? Leonardo Escorpioni (Zanella Racing) , who sealed the title in Race 2 at Portland with one round to spare. His only rival able to challenge him up to that point was Liam Loiacono (Jay Howard) , who had reignited the title battle in mid-summer with 5 wins out of 6 races spanning the Mid-Ohio doubleheader and Road America.
Eyes on 2026 For the three tiers of this fascinating American series – and for the three Tatuus models powering the many teams – it’s now time for the offseason. The traditional “Fall Combine” tests at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October will be the next opportunity to hit the track and prepare for what promises to be another rich and thrilling 2026 season.
As every year, 2025 confirmed not only the importance and extremely high standard of the championships organized by Andersen Promotions , but also their excellent management . Captivating races, broadcast live on the official YouTube channel with the unmistakable and passionate voice of Rob Howden , the most iconic tracks in the United States and North America , all-round driver support programs , and top-tier track safety guaranteed by the AMR IndyCar Safety Team – the USF Pro Championships continue to be a global benchmark in the racing world.
