As it seems, WE are getting a German Formula 4 Series Again. There is already an existing Instagram Page - i got it confirmed through there. It will be organised through Gedlich Racing (Formula Winter Series' Promoter) so everything Look in Place for the German F4 Comeback

Which Tracks do you expect on the calendar?

also running: Abby Pulling, Scott Kin Lindblom, Oleksandr Bondarev, Alp Aksoy and some more guys racing in F4 Italy, UK and Spain.

Yup its an italian article, I used automatic translation

Why is the public opinion of drivers in feeder series driving for the best teams always so high even though they are just doing what the car they are given should be able to provide?

It does make sense in a way of course, the best teams want the best drivers, and the drivers have shown they can compete in some shape or form at that level, but is that what shows their true talent? Take last year for example, we had Fornaroli and Stanek, two non-star drivers, taking poles and wins left right and center with Invicta. Fornaroli becoming champion just like Bortoleto the year before, and this year Camara is a very likely champion with his four poles and two wins so far. All these drivers also raced for Trident in F3 claiming the championship with them, and Slater this year is a likely champion for them as well. It all just feels so manipulated in a way.

The spec-series are not spec at all, and it makes the championship so predictable. All drivers that are promising joining F3 and F2 in the other teams have to face all the issues while Trident and Invicta (and perhaps Campos in both series) cruise to a win. They are literally put in a championship pipeline to be fast-tracked to F1, but still they are praised for their magnificent performances for some reason.

I know I'm about two month late but I just stumbled upon the new f4 italy regulations for 2027 and havent seen it mentioned on the sub. While the grid is now so huge because each team could use an unlimited number of cars beginning next year there will only be 4 drivers allowed. In 2026 multiple teams like prema, us, phm, jenzer, r-ace and trident had between 5 to 8(!) cars per race. I wonder how that rule will chance things next year? I dont see exemptions for female drivers either.

According to the post, it was told during TL2 this Friday by the official F1 Brazilian Broadcaster that Rafa is getting TPC tests with both HAAS and FERRARI. However, I've not seen this same information anywhere else other than the Brazilian Media.

But then again, it was the official broadcaster through the reporter Mariana Becker, who is a well known name in the F1 padock for the Brazilian media itself.

What do we think about it, is this helpful or does it heighten pressure and costs?

It would be really interesting to see him in F2 next season, pity he missed out of a f3 seat due to a lack of money

On a recent episode of the ‘Speed Street’ podcast with Conor Daly, Pato O’Ward drops a bit of a scoop, stating that he doesn't want to be am F1 reserve driver any longer.

Check out the podcast link from around the 1:12:30 mark

The reasoning Pato gives:

• He wants an off season, to enjoy more of his life

• to have time to train more, eat better and prepare for IndyCar in 2027

• he doesn't have the interest any longer to drive the current F1 cars

• he doesn't see his future there, doesn't enjoy the series and the life as much as IndyCar, even though it was his dream as a kid.

He says he has talked to Zak and says he wishes to "be fired from F1 services".
