We Worked Hard on Our Progress
After the opening round, we gathered a huge amount of data, which we carefully analyzed together with the team. We invested a lot of work into understanding exactly where I could still improve. The data clearly showed that my driving style was already becoming similar in many areas to both my teammates’ and the front-running drivers’, but due to my lack of experience, there were still several areas where we could continue to improve.
We identified the right direction and focused heavily on these details during the period between the two rounds. At the Vallelunga test, the progress was already noticeable, and I started to feel increasingly comfortable in the car. I also developed a very strong working relationship with my engineer, which played a huge role in my improvement.
Race Weekend
Once again, the race weekend proved just how incredibly competitive the Italian F4 field is. With more than 40 drivers on the grid, positions are often decided by only a few hundredths of a second.
The Races
In the first race, I had several exciting battles, and thanks to a strong start, I managed to gain a few positions. However, for me, that was not the highlight of the weekend.
The second race will remain especially memorable for me. At the start, I lost several seconds and dropped significantly behind the field. From there, I had to begin my comeback drive. I managed to catch the pack, complete several overtakes, and eventually finish in the points, which also secured my place in Sunday’s final race. It was particularly rewarding that during the recovery drive, I was able to match the pace of some of the top drivers in the field and consistently close the gap.
The Final
The final race featured the fastest drivers of the weekend, making it an especially valuable experience to line up on the grid among them.
A Positive Weekend in Vallelunga
Overall, we completed a very positive weekend in Vallelunga. The hard work we invested has started to show on track, which confirmed that we are heading in the right direction. This was only one step, but an important one in our development.
Italian F4 is the strongest Formula 4 championship in the world, where every lap, every battle, and every piece of experience matters. We will continue working with the same determination, because we know there are no shortcuts to progress.
A huge thank you to the team, my engineers, Zele-Bau Kft., and all of our supporters and partners who believe in us and support this journey.
See you in Monza!
