Red Bull Ring #1 & #2: first races in F4

The season started at the Red Bull Ring, on my birthday weekend! Unfortunately, I couldn’t take part in qualifying or the first race since I wasn’t yet 15 years old, which meant starting from the back for the remaining two. Despite that, I managed to climb up to P12 in Race 2 and P11 in Race 3, showing solid pace in tricky conditions.
Two weeks later, we returned to the same track for Red Bull Ring #2. This time, with clearer goals and more experience, I qualified P13 and finished P9, P13, and P11. That weekend was special I claimed my first rookie podiums (P1 in Race 1 and P1 in Race 3), marking the real start of my F4 journey.

Salzburgring & Most: building momentum

At the Salzburgring, I really started to find my rhythm. It was only my third race weekend, but I already scored strong results: P7 in qualifying, P5, P8, and P6 in the races. At that point, it was my best qualifying result, and I was even too quick to be classified as a rookie.
Most began more complicated after several weeks without driving. A
qualifying crash put me P15 on the grid, but I bounced back with P10, P8, and P6 in the races, plus two rookie podiums (P2 and P3).
Fun fact: when we switched to new tyres, I gained 2.5 seconds instantly, showing the strong pace and teamwork that defined the weekend.

Slovakia Ring & Brno: the confirmation

The Slovakia Ring weekend was challenging. We faced camera and data issues, making analysis difficult. Still, I made solid progress: P14 in qualifying, and P8, P6, and P15 in the races.
The first two races were among my best performances, earning two rookie wins and the “Rookie Rocket” award.
At Brno, I ended the season with encouraging speed: P6 in qualifying (my best result of the year), P8 in Race 1, a DNF in Race 2 after an incident, and P14 in Race 3 following a small mistake. Despite the setbacks, the pace and confidence were there, a great way to close out my first F4 season.

Season summary & thanks

I’m very satisfied with this first year in Formula 4 CEZ finishing 10th on 25. We learned a lot, gained experience, and fought hard against more experienced drivers, often with slightly faster cars.
I’m proud of our teamwork with Maffi Racing, the rookie podiums, and the strong pace we showed throughout the season.
A huge thank you to my team, my sponsors: Race Experience, Ital Agencements, Bosredon SA, ACS and all my followers for your incredible support 💛
The future is being written: we’re currently working on the 2026 budget and are open to new partnerships to keep growing and moving forward!
