We parted more than two months ago in Vallelunga, the last round of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA held before the long summer break. 43 drivers have so far taken part in at least one weekend of races, representing 25 different countries: a sign of the extreme popularity that the championship, with the synergy of ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, has managed to achieve at international among the preparatory classes, as well as among the very young coming from karting. Now, finally, it is time to resume the march of the exciting 2022 season with the intense final rush, consisting in three rounds to be disputed in the next two months: Spielberg, Monza and Mugello are unique circuits, capable of leaving an indelible mark in the history of Formula 1, and the future champion will be crowned on one of these circuits. But the fight for the title is tremendously close as Andrea Kimi Antonelli, thanks to a streak of six consecutive victories, managed to take the lead in the final round. Certainly, however, Rafael Camara, Alexander Dunne, James Wharton and all the other protagonists on the starting grid will respond to the Italian trying to take the leadership from him. We, on the other hand, will be ready in the front row to enjoy this battle. Get ready for a show, that will certainly be… Stellar!
Ci eravamo lasciati più di due mesi fa a Vallelunga, ultimo appuntamento dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA disputato prima della lunga pausa estiva. Fino a ora, ben 43 piloti hanno preso parte ad almeno un weekend di gare, in rappresentanza di ben 25 Paesi diversi: segno dell’estrema popolarità che il campionato, con la sinergia di ACI Sport e WSK Promotion, è riuscita a raggiungere a livello internazionale tra le categorie propedeutiche e tra i giovanissimi provenienti dal karting. Adesso, finalmente, è tempo di riprendere la marcia dell’entusiasmante stagione 2022 con l’intenso rush finale, composto da tre tappe da disputare nei prossimi due mesi: Spielberg, Monza e Mugello sono circuiti unici, in grado di lasciare un segno indelebile nella storia della Formula 1, e proprio su uno di questi verrà incoronato il futuro campione. Ma la lotta per il titolo è tremendamente serrata perché Andrea Kimi Antonelli, grazie a una serie di sei vittorie consecutive, è riuscito a prendere il comando della classifica nell’ultimo round. Di certo, però, Rafael Camara, Alexander Dunne, James Wharton e tutti gli altri protagonisti presenti sullo schieramento di partenza risponderanno all’italiano cercando di scalzarlo dalla leadership. Noi, invece, saremo pronti in prima fila a goderci questa battaglia. Preparatevi per uno spettacolo, di sicuro… Stellare!

3 REPORT - RD.4 / RACE 1 - VALLELUNGA
Inizia nel migliore dei modi il weekend di Vallelunga dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA per Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing): già nelle prove cronometrate è il più veloce. L’italiano non sbaglia neppure allo spegnimento dei semafori di gara 1, tenendosi stretta la testa della corsa. Va peggio a Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) che, dalla seconda casella di partenza, ha un avvio poco brillante. Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) eredita così il secondo posto dal compagno di squadra austriaco, tuttavia non è in grado di tenere il passo del leader Antonelli. L’intervento della safety car per una vettura ferma nella ghiaia, a 11 minuti dal termine, compatta di nuovo il gruppo, ma Antonelli gestisce bene la ripartenza e vince la corsa con 2.184 secondi di vantaggio su Camara, secondo. Un risultato, questo, che permette all’italiano di guadagnare la testa della classifica del campionato, proprio ai danni del brasiliano. James Wharton (Prema Racing) sale sul gradino più basso del podio, precedendo sul traguardo Alex Dunne (US Racing), quarto, e Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing), quinto. The Vallelunga weekend of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA started in the best possible way for Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing): he was already the fastest in the qualifying. The Italian did not even make a mistake when the traffic lights in race 1 went out, holding onto the lead of the race. It was worse for Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) who, from the second starting position, had a lacklustre start. So Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) went into second place in front of his Austrian teammate, although he was unable to keep up with the leader Antonelli. The intervention of the safety car due to a vehicle stopped in the gravel, 11 minutes from the end, compacted the group again, but Antonelli managed the restart well and won the race with a 2,184 second advantage over Camara, who came second. This is a result that allows the Italian to take the lead in the championship rankings, precisely to the detriment of the Brazilian. James Wharton (Prema Racing) climbed to the lowest step of the podium, ahead of Alex Dunne (US Racing), who came fourth, and Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing), who came fifth.

Another victory for Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing) in the second race of the weekend of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. Once again in pole position, the Italian driver defended his leadership on the first bends from the attacks of Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) and then distanced himself from the rest of the group. It was therefore up to Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) to duel with Sztuka for second place but a contact between the two caused a puncture in the right rear tyre of the Brazilian’s vehicle, who was forced to withdraw. Sztuka, on the other hand, lost several positions to the advantage of Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing), Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) and Alexander Dunne (US Racing). Antonelli nimbly finished the race in first position, while Barnard took second place with a decisive overtaking of Wurz, who came third. Dunne beat Sztuka and finished fourth, followed by his Polish teammate, who came fifth.
Altro colpo vincente di Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing) nella seconda gara del weekend dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. Ancora una volta in pole position, il pilota italiano difende nelle prime curve la propria leadership dagli attacchi di Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) e prende successivamente il largo sul resto del gruppo. Tocca dunque a Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) duellare con Sztuka per il secondo posto, tuttavia un contatto tra i due causa la foratura dello pneumatico posteriore destro dell’auto del brasiliano che è costretto al ritiro. Sztuka, invece, perde diverse posizioni a vantaggio di Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing), Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) e Alexander Dunne (US Racing). Antonelli termina agilmente la corsa in prima posizione, mentre Barnard agguanta il secondo posto con un deciso sorpasso su Wurz, terzo. Dunne la spunta su Sztuka e chiude quarto, seguito dal compagno di squadra polacco, quinto.

Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) finished the heat in fifth position, ahead of Kacper Sztuka (US Racing), who came sixth, and Nikhil Bohra (US Racing), who came seventh.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing) è implacabile anche in gara 3. Per la terza volta in pole position nello stesso weekend, il pilota italiano mantiene agevolmente il comando al via, con i compagni di squadra Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) e Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) nel ruolo di primi inseguitori. Proprio Camara cerca di avvicinare Antonelli nella seconda metà di gara, ma il leader tiene a distanza il brasiliano e ottiene così una tripletta. Wurz, invece, si guarda le spalle da Marcus Amand (US Racing) e da Alexander Dunne (US Racing), ma i due si toccano e terminano anzitempo la prova. A guadagnarci è James Wharton (Prema Racing), quarto sul traguardo dietro a Wurz, terzo: per Prema Racing è il quarto poker stagionale. Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) chiude la manche in quinta posizione, precedendo Kacper Sztuka (US Racing), sesto, e Nikhil Bohra (US Racing), settimo.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing) was also relentless in race 3. For the third time in pole position on the same weekend, the Italian driver easily maintained the lead at the start, with his teammates Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) and Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) in the role of first pursuers. Only Camara tried to approach Antonelli in the second half of the race, but the leader kept the Brazilian at a distance and thus achieved his hat-trick. Wurz, on the other hand, looked over his shoulder where there were Marcus Amand (US Racing) and Alexander Dunne (US Racing), but the two had a contact and finished the race prematurely. It was James Wharton (Prema Racing) who took advantage of this, fourth at the finish line behind Wurz, who came third: for Prema Racing this is the fourth poker of the season.

Incastonato tra le montagne austriache, il tracciato di Spielberg (originariamente denominato Österreichring) è stato costruito nel 1969 e ha ospitato tutte le edizioni del Gran Premio d’Austria dal 1970 in poi. L’impianto è stato completamente rinnovato nel corso degli anni Novanta e il disegno della pista è stato modificato con il layout che oggi conosciamo, ospitando tra il 1997 e il 2003 la Formula 1. Dopo un decennio di inattività, Red Bull - il colosso delle bevande energetiche - ha rilevato la proprietà, promuovendo dei nuovi lavori di adeguamento, riportando la F1 in pianta stabile dal 2014, ma ospitando anche il Motomondiale e altri campionati internazionali.

Nestled in the Austrian mountains, the Spielberg track (originally called Österreichring) was built in 1969 and has hosted all editions of the Austrian Grand Prix from 1970 onwards. The circuit was completely renovated during the nineties and the track design was modified with the layout we know today, hosting Formula 1 between 1997 and 2003. After a decade of inactivity, Red Bull, the energy drinks giant, took over the property, having new adaptation works completed, returning F1 to a permanent basis from 2014, but also hosting the World and other international championships.

A fifth of the current line-up of drivers taking part in the F1 World Championship, after the first years of kart racing, made the leap into the world of single-seaters thanks to the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. After having talked about Lance Stroll, Guanyu Zhou and Lando Norris in the past editions, let’s go into more detail in this adventure, in the championship promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, of Mick Schumacher, the current official driver of Haas. Un quinto dell’attuale schieramento di piloti che prendono parte al Campionato del Mondo di F1, dopo i primi anni di corse in kart, ha fatto il balzo nel mondo delle monoposto proprio grazie all’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. Dopo aver parlato di Lance Stroll, Guanyu Zhou e Lando Norris negli scorsi numeri, approfondiamo l’avventura, nel campionato promosso da ACI Sport e WSK Promotion, di Mick Schumacher, attuale pilota titolare di Haas. Nato il 22 marzo 1999 a Vufflens-le-Château (Svizzera), Mick Schumacher cresce nell’ambiente dell’automobilismo sportivo grazie al padre Michael Schumacher, uno dei piloti più vincenti della storia della Formula 1 con i suoi sette titoli mondiali ottenuti con i team Benetton e Ferrari. Mick debutta nel karting nel 2008, utilizzando però il cognome della madre “Betsch”, e nel 2011 approda in KF3 (l’attuale OKJ). Nel 2013 partecipa alla WSK Super Master Series e alla WSK Euro Series, oltre a chiudere terzo nell’International Super Cup. Nella sua ultima stagione nel karting, nel 2014, si laurea anche vicecampione europeo e del mondo. Born on 22 March 1999 in Vufflens-le-Château (Switzerland), Mick Schumacher grew up in the world of motorsport thanks to his father Michael Schumacher, one of the most successful drivers in the history of Formula 1 with his seven world titles obtained with the Benetton and Ferrari team. However, Mick made his debut in karting in 2008 using his mother’s surname “Betsch”, and in 2011 he started in KF3 (the current OKJ). In 2013 he participated in the WSK Super Master Series and the WSK Euro Series, as well as finishing third in the International Super Cup. In his last season in karting, in 2014, he also became European and world vicechampion. 2016 / Rd.1 - 2016 /Mick - 2016

Il debutto in monoposto di Schumacher è datato 2016, anno nel quale disputa una stagione completa nell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA con una monoposto di Prema Powerteam. Nel primo appuntamento di Misano, il tedesco ottiene due vittorie su due manche eliminatorie e, dalla pole position, conclude quarto la gara finale. Assente nel secondo round di Adria, Schumacher decide di concentrarsi sulla successiva terza tappa di Imola, dove fa registrare una vittoria, un secondo e un quarto posto nelle tre gare in programma. Tra Mugello e Vallelunga ottiene un successo e tre arrivi a podio, ma nella penultima trasferta di Imola inciampa in tre “zero”: in gara 1 rimedia un drive-through per partenza anticipata, mentre in gara 2 si ritira per un contatto; infine, in gara 3 è costretto a partire dal fondo dello schieramento. Nell’ultimo match point di Monza, realizza una vittoria e un secondo posto, che gli consegnano il titolo di vice campione.
Schumacher’s single-seater debut goes back to 2016, the year in which he competed for a full season in the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA in a Prema Powerteam single-seater. In the first round in Misano, the German achieved two victories out of two qualifying heats and, from pole position, he finished fourth in the final race. Absent in the second round in Adria, Schumacher decided to concentrate on the subsequent third stage in Imola, where he achieved a victory, a second and a fourth place in the three scheduled races. Between Mugello and Vallelunga he achieved one win and three podium finishes, but in the penultimate round in Imola he stumbled into three “zeros”: in race 1 he remedied a drive-through for an early start, while in race 2 he withdrew due to a contact; finally, in race 3 he was forced to start from the back of the grid. In the last match point in Monza, he achieved a victory and a second place, awarding him the title of vice-champion.

In the first four rounds of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA, eight drivers had the opportunity to get on the podium for the first time. Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) and Alex Dunne (US Racing), both rookies in the Italian series, are temporarily in second and third place in the general rankings and have already achieved their first victories (two for the Brazilian, one for the Irishman). Kacper Sztuka (US Racing), already on the grid last year, also achieved a success this season. James Wharton (Prema Racing) and Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) have had the opportunity to get on the podium several times, while Marcus Amand (US Racing), Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) and Conrad Laursen (Prema Racing) have only succeeded once. Nei primi quattro appuntamenti dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA, ben otto piloti hanno avuto l’occasione di salire per la prima volta sul podio assoluto. Rafael Camara (Prema Racing) e Alex Dunne (US Racing), entrambi esordienti nella serie italiana, occupano momentaneamente il secondo e il terzo posto nella classifica generale e hanno già colto anche la prima vittoria (due per il brasiliano, una per l’irlandese). Anche Kacper Sztuka (US Racing), già sullo schieramento di partenza lo scorso anno, ha ottenuto un successo in questa stagione. James Wharton (Prema Racing) e Charlie Wurz (Prema Racing) hanno avuto modo più volte di salire sul podio, mentre Marcus Amand (US Racing), Taylor Barnard (PHM Racing) e Conrad Laursen (Prema Racing) ci sono riusciti solo una volta.
Mercoledì 3 e giovedì 4 agosto, al Red Bull Ring in Austria, si sono svolti i test collettivi che hanno visto in pista diversi piloti dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. Alexander Dunne (US Racing) è stato il più veloce in assoluto della prima giornata, primo nel gruppo A con il miglior riferimento cronometrico di 1’31.574, e con i compagni di squadra Marcus Amand (US Racing), Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) e Nikhil Borha (US Racing) nelle posizioni immediatamente successive. Invece, nel gruppo B, si è imposto Martinius Stenshorne (Van Amersfoort Racing) con un tempo di 1’32.269, davanti a Brando Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing).
