The FIA supports the UN Decade of Action for Road SafetyWe are almost halfway through the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA, with three rounds disputed and four still to be completed, but the fight for the title has certainly only just begun. The current leader, Arvid Lindblad, who has achieved three victories in the first six races of the season, saw his advantage over Ugo Ugochukwu diminish, the latter able to triumph in the last race of the Spa-Francorchamps weekend. The Anglo-American pair will also have to contend with other drivers: for example, with Zachary David, still chasing his first victory, or with James Wharton, who achieved a brilliant double in Belgium. Or, again, with Brando Badoer, Kacper Sztuka, Nicola Lacorte or Tuukka Taponen, all in the top positions in the rankings. It is no coincidence that, after ten races, there were six different drivers who achieved successes: a fact that is a clear indicator of the great balance of forces in the field. This is precisely why, from now on, the protagonists of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA will have to manage every detail and be careful not to make the slightest mistake. Especially on a fast, demanding and historic circuit like that of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza which, close to the thousandth, has produced numerous Formula 1 champions, and that, also this year, will be the perfect scenario to celebrate the champions of tomorrow.

Siamo quasi a metà del cammino dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA, con tre round disputati e quattro ancora da affrontare, ma sicuramente la lotta per il titolo è appena cominciata. L’attuale capoclassifica Arvid Lindblad, autore di tre vittorie nelle prime sei gare della stagione, ha visto assottigliarsi il suo vantaggio nei confronti di Ugo Ugochukwu, quest’ultimo in grado di trionfare nell’ultima gara del weekend di Spa-Francorchamps. La coppia anglo-americana dovrà vedersela anche con altri piloti: ad esempio, con Zachary David, ancora a caccia della prima affermazione, oppure con James Wharton, autore di una brillante doppietta in Belgio. O, ancora, con Brando Badoer, Kacper Sztuka, Nicola Lacorte e Tuukka Taponen, tutti nelle posizioni di vertice in graduatoria. Non è un caso se, dopo dieci gare, siano stati ben sei i diversi vincitori che abbiamo celebrato: un dato che è chiaro indicatore del grande equilibrio delle forze in campo. Proprio per questo, d’ora in avanti, i protagonisti dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA dovranno curare ogni minimo dettaglio e stare attenti a non commettere il minimo errore. Soprattutto su un circuito veloce, impegnativo e storico come quello dell’Autodromo Nazionale Monza che, sul filo del millesimo, ha battezzato numerosi campioni di Formula 1. E che, anche quest’anno, sarà lo scenario perfetto per celebrare i campioni di domani.

James Wharton (Prema Racing) proved to be a cool customer in the first race of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. The Australian driver, who gained pole position in the qualifying, started perfectly and maintained his position, while immediately behind him the battle for second place between Luca Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing), Zachary David (US Racing), Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) and Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing) ignited. However, after a few laps, the race was temporarily suspended due to an accident, fortunately without any particular consequences. The race resumed behind the safety car and, at the restart, Wharton tried once again to get away, this time with David, Badoer, Ugo Ugochukwu (Prema Racing) in the positions immediately behind him. With a minute to go, a second red flag effectively ended the battle on the track and gave Wharton his first victory in the Italian championship. David and Badoer, second and third respectively, completed the podium.

James Wharton (Prema Racing) dimostra di avere sangue freddo nella prima gara dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. Il pilota australiano, autore della pole position in qualifica, scatta perfettamente al via e mantiene la propria posizione, mentre dietro si accende subito la battaglia per il secondo posto tra Luca Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing), Zachary David (US Racing), Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) e Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing). Tuttavia, dopo pochi giri, la corsa viene momentaneamente sospesa per un incidente nelle retrovie, per fortuna senza particolari conseguenze. La prova riprende dietro alla safety car e, alla ripartenza, Wharton ritenta la fuga, stavolta con David, Badoer, Ugo Ugochukwu (Prema Racing) nelle posizioni immediatamente successive. A un minuto dallo scadere del tempo, una seconda bandiera rossa pone fine, di fatto, alle ostilità in pista e consegna a Wharton la prima vittoria nel campionato italiano. David e Badoer, rispettivamente secondo e terzo, completano il podio.

James Wharton (Prema Racing) achieved his second consecutive win in the second race of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. The Australian, once again in pole position, defended himself very well from an attack at the start by Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) and took command of the race. The action on the track lasted only a few laps because, due to an accident, the safety car intervened to regroup the drivers. At the restart, Wharton easily stayed in the lead, chased by Sztuka and Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing). However, the safety car had to reenter the track due to a car that had stopped in the gravel. The second restart saw Sztuka manage to overtake Wharton at the end of the Kemmel straight, but moments before a further incident at the rear forced the stewards to raise the red flag. The final positions were therefore decided on the basis of the previous lap: Wharton first, with Sztuka and Lindblad on the remaining steps of the podium. Fourth place for Akshay Bohra (US Racing), fifth for Raphael Narac (R-ace GP).
Arriva il secondo successo consecutivo di James Wharton (Prema Racing) nella seconda gara dell’Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA. L’australiano, ancora una volta in pole position, si difende egregiamente da un attacco al via di Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) e prende il comando delle operazioni. L’azione in pista dura soltanto pochi giri perché, complice un incidente, interviene la safety car a ricompattare il gruppo. Al restart, Wharton mantiene senza problemi la leadership, inseguito da Sztuka e Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing). La safety car deve però rifare il suo ingresso in pista a causa di un’auto ferma nella ghiaia. La seconda ripartenza vede Sztuka riuscire a sopravanzare Wharton in fondo al rettilineo del Kemmel, ma pochi istanti prima un ulteriore incidente nelle retrovie costringe i commissari sportivi a esporre la bandiera rossa. La classifica finale vede quindi stilata sulla base del giro precedente: Wharton primo, con Sztuka e Lindblad sui restanti gradini del podio. Quarto posto per Akshay Bohra (US Racing), quinto invece per Raphael Narac (R-ace GP).

Pole Position: Sztuka Kacper [ 2’21.405 ]
Best lap: David Zachary [ 2’23.480 ]
A brilliant achievement by Ugo Ugochukwu (Prema Racing) in the last race of the weekend at SpaFrancorchamps. When the lights went out, Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) led the pack after the first corner, but a subsequent contact with Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing) forced the Pole to start from the bottom and the Briton to retire. Zachary David (US Racing) then took the lead, with Ugochukwu able to move up from sixth on the grid to second. As happened in the other two races, the safety car took to the track due to an accident at the first corner and this allowed the drivers to regroup. At the restart, David stayed in the lead, but an unstoppable Ugochukwu overtook him after just one lap. The American crossed the finish line first, ahead of David in second place and James Wharton (Prema Racing) in third. Brando Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing) came close to the podium, coming fourth.
Brillante colpo di Ugo Ugochukwu (Prema Racing) nell’ultima gara del weekend di Spa-Francorchamps. Allo spegnimento dei semafori, è Kacper Sztuka (US Racing) a guidare il gruppo dopo la prima curva, ma un successivo contatto con Arvid Lindblad (Prema Racing) costringe il polacco a ripartire dal fondo e il britannico al ritiro. In testa passa quindi Zachary David (US Racing), con Ugochukwu in grado di salire dalla sesta posizione sulla griglia di partenza alla seconda. Come accaduto nelle altre due corse, la safety car scende in pista per un incidente alla prima curva e questo permette ai piloti di ricompattarsi. Alla ripartenza, David conserva la testa della gara, ma uno scatenato Ugochukwu lo sorpassa dopo appena un giro. Lo statunitense taglia per primo il traguardo finale, precedendo David, secondo, e James Wharton (Prema Racing), terzo. Sfiora il podio Brando Badoer (Van Amersfoort Racing), quarto.

FIRST TIME FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Over the years the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA has become a springboard for many young kart drivers from all over the world, thanks also to the excellent promotional work carried out by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion. 2023 marked the first ever participation for the Philippines, thanks to the presence of Zachary David and, more recently, Bianca Bustamante. The former, a US Racing driver, spent five years driving karts in Europe, made his debut this season in single-seaters and also has a Maltese license. Instead, the Prema Racing driver competed in his first single-seater race in 2022 and from this year is racing for the F1 Academy, an all-female championship affiliated to Formula 1 that races with Tatuus F4-T-421 single-seaters, the same ones used in the Italian series.
