Cooper Shipman dominated to capture his ninth consecutive victory in Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) competition at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) on Sunday afternoon. The victory was enough to lock in his status as the 2025 F4 U.S. Champion and secure the scholarship to compete in the Formula Regional Americas Championship in 2026. The victory allowed Shipman (No. 14 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) to break a record set by Cameron Das during the inaugural season of F4 U.S. competition, and set a new standard for consecutive wins in the FIA-certified championship.

Fastest in his group in Qualifying 1, the Roman driver started from the front row alongside poleman Slater, the championship leader and his only direct rival in the title chase. When the lights went out, De Palo made a sprint-like move alongside Slater along the long straight leading to the first braking point.

The second round of the E4 Championship at Mugello Circuit ended with one final twist.

Drama and excitement marked Race 2 of the E4 Championship at Mugello. Kean Nakamura-Berta with Prema Racing, already victorious in Race 1 this morning, crossed the line first again. However, the Japanese-Slovak driver lost the win due to a five-second penalty imposed by the Stewards, following his defense at the start against Alex Powell with R-ace GP. To hold position, Nakamura-Berta ran beyond track limits, resulting in the infringement. Given the gap to the rest of the field, the penalty relegated him to P2, though he still takes the championship lead with 94 points.
