Andrea Kimi Antonelli Beats All Records in the Italian F4 Championship

It is an endless Andrea Kimi Antonelli (ITA – Prema Racing) who wins, triumphs and beats all records in the Italian F4 Championship, reaching 13 victories in the season, thanks to the hat-trick conquered at Mugello and transcending Dennis Hauger’s history that had stood since 2019.

Antonelli thus becomes champion in the Italian series, also taking the rookie title, after winning the German title. Never before had anyone like the 16-year-old Italian from Bologna conquered 24 victories in a Formula 4 season, adding up the successes in the Italian, German and UAE series, all aboard the Tatuus F4 T421 powered by the 180 hp Abarth T-Jet 1.4 engine.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli commented on his success after the hat trick at Mugello: “I wanted to end on a high note, and I must say that we have succeeded with this hat trick at Mugello. I thank my team, family, sponsors, and ACI Sport. The “Scuola Federale” has been by my side since my karting days, they have always helped me, supported me, and for that, I am very grateful. We managed everything well the whole weekend, and it’s nice to finish the Championship with these victories. We worked hard all season to win this championship, and to win both the German and the Italian is a great satisfaction”.

In the last round of the Italian F4 Championship certified by FIA, in race 1, at Mugello, behind Antonelli, who mathematically conquered the title, were Alex Dunne (IRL – US Racing) and Martinius Stenshorne (NOR – Van Amersfoort Racing), with the Irishman consolidating his second place in the standings. In the two Sunday races, the main protagonist is the safety car, forced to intervene several times to calm the spirits of the young drivers, unleashed on the Tuscan track.

Triumphing in both races is Antonelli again, who, in race 2, climbs on the top step of the podium flanked by Dunne and Rafael Camara (BRA – Prema Racing) and, in race 3, on an all-Prema Racing podium with Ugo Ugochukwu (USA – Prema Racing) and Charlie Wurz (AUT – Prema Racing) after Camara was forced to retire after a collision with Dunne, who was penalized with a drive through and retired a few minutes from the end.

Italian F4 Championship Overall Standings: 1. Andrea Kimi Antonelli (ITA – Prema Racing) 362; 2. Alex Dunne (IRL – US Racing) 258; 3. Rafael Camara (BRA – Prema Racing) 239; 4. Charlie Wurz (AUT – Prema Racing) 198; 5. James Wharton (AUS – Prema Racing) 166.
