    Press Release Number 30 / 2016 Race 3 saw Victory go to Juan Correa who was first also in the Rookie Trophy. The asphalt was still partly wet when the decision was made to start the race behind the Safety Car. Finishing behind Correa were Diego Ciantini and Yan Shlom. Lorenzo Colombo and Artem Petrov finishing second and third in the Rookie Trophy. IMOLA 29 May, 2016 - As in Race 2, Race 3 also started behind the Safety Car which came into the pits on the second lap. The first action saw Correa (Prema Power Team) get past the Russian Yan Shlom (RB Racing) who started from pole courtesy of the top ten grid positions being inversed from the result of race 2. • The uncertain conditions on the circuit saw many nervous passing manoeuvres; one of these saw the Canadian Devlin De Francesco (Kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport) leave the circuit obliging the Safety Car to return to the track to lead the pack. On the fourth lap, this third race saw a new battle emerge between Shlom and the Argentine Diego Ciantini (Jenzer Motorsport) for second place in the race; going into the sixth lap of the Imola circuit, Ciantini left the circuit on the main straight which saw the Race Director put out the red flag to decide the race. • The classification was therefore as per the end lap 5; Raul Guzman (DR Racing) taking fourth, followed by Marcos Siebert (Jenzer Motorsport), Mick Schumacher (Prema Power Team), Job Van Uitert (Jenzer Motorsport), Ye Yifei (Kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport), Lorenzo Colombo (BVM Racing) and Joao Vieria (Antonelli Motorsport).

    RACE IN IMOLA SHIFTED TO THE 1° OF SEPTEMBER AS FIFTH APPOINTMENT OF THE 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP A new date for the racing weekend in Imola as fifth Italian F4 Championship Powered by Abarth racing weekend in 2019 calendar, which will be complete of 3 appointments on F1 circuits Rome, Friday 30 November 2018 – When the fantastic 2018 season has been recently closed, where success has been underlined by the great participation of drivers and teams, the Italian F4 Championship Powered by Abarth moves fast towards fine tuning of 2019 season, the 6° since 2014, year in which ACI Sport and WSK Promotion organized as first at an international level the F4 Championship. Since a successful Championship can, anyway, always be improved, the 2019 calendar is made of 7 racing weekends of which 3* will be held on F1 circuits, one more than in 2018, to permit to the young talents of the F4, many coming directly from karting and at their first experience in a championship raced with single-seaters, to experience and feel the emotion to race in the same circuits as their F1 idols. The fifth appointment of the 2019 championship has been updated from the 9° of June to the weekend of the 1° of September. The first racing weekend will be held in Vallelunga the 4-5 of May, followed the 18-19 of the same month by Misano, the only appointment on the calendar non matching with Formula Regional. The third racing weekend will be the 6-7 of July in Hungary, on the F1 circuit of the Hungaroring*, followed on the 13-14 July by another F1 circuit, the Red Bull Ring.

  • At Mugello the Polesitter Juan Correa Wins Race 1 Also Taking out the Rookie Trophy
    Press Release Number 36 / 2016 At Mugello the polesitter Juan Correa wins Race 1 also taking out the Rookie Trophy On a dry circuit with the temperature just under 30 degrees, the first race of the 4th round of the championship saw Mick Schumacher and Giuliano Raucci on the podium together with Correa Borgo S.Lorenzo (FI) 16/07/2016 – In fine weather conditions after the rain of Friday, the Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth came to life in Race 1, an extremely competitive race yet without major incident. Best off the line was the American – the Rookie – driving for the Prema Power Team, Juan Correa, who led away from pole position and drove a perfect race, despite constant pressure from his team mate Mick Schumacher. Lap after lap, Correa gradually increased his lead, only easing up slightly at the race end to win with an advantage of 1.7 seconds. • Further back was the rest of the field. The third placed driver, the Brazilian Giuliano Raucci of Diegi Motorsport, finishing almost 13 seconds behind the race winner, but having driven a great race, having recovered from dropping back to sixth on the first lap (from grid 5), but regaining his rhythm to recover. Finishing in fourth was the Mexican Raul Guzman (DR Racing), after a great battle with the Argentine – and leader of the championship at this point – Marcos Siebert (Jenzer Motorsport), who retired from this race after losing his front wing whilst trying to pass Guzman. • Fifth for Joao Vieira (Antonelli Motorsport), followed by Diego Bertonelli (Bhaitech), Simone Cunati (Vincenzo Sospiri Racing), Devlin De Francesco (Kfzteile24 Mucke Motorsport), Juri Vips (Prema Power Team) and Job Van Uitert rounding out the top ten.

  • Job Van Uitert Wins Race 3 at Imola, Ahead of Leonardo Lorandi And
    Press Release Number 34 / 2017 Job Van Uitert wins Race 3 at Imola, ahead of Leonardo Lorandi and Marcus Armstrong In the Rookie Trophy Lorandi takes the victory, followed by Fittipaldi and Carrara Imola 10/09/2017 – When Race 3 of the Italian F4 Championship got un- derway - earlier than expected 16:15 instead of 17:00 due to uncertain weather conditions - the sky was cloudy but there was no rain falling for the previous 90 minutes. The track is therefore almost completely dry, which is why the drivers lined up with slick tyres. For safety reasons, however, the race began behind the Safety Car and the race time was reduced from 28’ + 1 lap to 21' + 1 lap. Once underway, it is again the Dutchman Job Van Uitert (Jenzer Motorsport), who already won Race 2, who took the lead im- mediately and then went on to take the checkered flag unchallenged. Be- hind him, however, the battle is intense and the main protagonist is the Estonian Juri Vips (Prema Power Team), who at the first braking point goes from 6th to 4th and, at the end of the second lap, is already up to third. On the sixth lap, Vips tried to overtake the Indian Kush Maini (Jenzer Motor- sport), who goes headlong and also forces his rival to widen in the sand- trap. The two finish in sixth (Vips) and ninth (Maini) positions respectively. • The Italian Leonardo Lorandi (Bhaitech) and New Zealander Marcus Arm- strong (Prema Power Team), second and third respectively, take advantage of this situation. In fourth place is Venezuelan Fernandez, a great result for him considering that he started ninth on the grid.

  • Paul Ricard and Wins Under Strong Rain, in Front of Fittipaldi, the Fastest on Track, and an Excellent Carrara
    UNDER THE RAIN VESTI FITTIPALDI AND CARRARA Danish driver of Van Amersfoort Racing is really in good shape here at Circuit Paul Ricard and wins under strong rain, in front of Fittipaldi, the fastest on track, and an excellent Carrara 13/05/2018 – Race 2 sees wet track conditions that will get worse during the race, and so start is lunched with safety car that will lead drivers for a few laps to let them test and get used to the low visibility and grip conditions. The young talents of the Italian F4 Championship Powered by Abarth have had to battle in tough conditions, where possibility of going with tyres on the painted lateral white lines on the track can easily determine spinning of the car. This happens to poleman Olli Caldwell (Prema Theodore Racing), who is out in first lap, while Frederik Vesti starts well, leads the entire race and conquers an amazing victory. Behind him, the always fast (his is the best lap time of the race 2’24.184) Enzo Fittipaldi (Prema Theodore Racing), while an excellent Giorgio Carrara (Jenzer Motorsport), from Argentina, is third. In fourth position we find the very aggressive Gianluca Petecof (Prema Theodore Racing), first of the Rookies and net leader of the general classification of Rookie Trophy, while fifth is Charles Weerts (Van Amersfoort Racing) and sixth Leonardo Lorandi (Bhai Tech), who here at Le Castellet does not seem to be able to express all his potential. Final classification of Rookie Trophy sees, behind Petecof, Jack Doohan (Prema Theodore Racing), 10° overall, and Peter Ptacek (Bhai Tech Racing), 13°.
