The 2026 E4 Championship came to an end at Monza in thrilling fashion, with the title fight remaining undecided until the final lap of Race 3. Coming into the season finale as the favourite, Kenzo Craigie lived up to expectations by winning Race 1. However, his title ambitions were thrown into doubt by an incident in Race 2. Just as he was closing in on securing the championship mathematically, the R-ace GP driver was hit from behind and forced to retire, while his rival Luka Sammalisto finished second. The dramatic turn of events brought the US Racing Finn, already crowned Italian F4 Championship champion this season, right back into contention, just eight points behind Craigie.

Kenzo Craigie’s title hopes grew even stronger at the end of the first day of racing at Monza. The championship leader claimed his first victory of the weekend, bringing his tally to four wins in the E4 Championship. The title will be decided tomorrow, with the fight now narrowed down to two contenders: British Mercedes junior driver Craigie, racing for R-ace GP, and Finland’s Luka Sammalisto of US Racing.

PREMA Racing heads to Monza this weekend with eight drivers for the season finale of the E4 Championship, including two new additions to the line-up, as Vicky Farfus and Filippo Sala join the team for Monza.

It is time to take stock after the opening round of the 2026 E4 Championship at Vallelunga. Already leading the Italian Formula 4 Championship, US Racing’s Luka Sammalisto has also established himself at the top of the standings in the Formula 4 series promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, leaving the opening weekend as championship leader.

At the Autodromo Piero Taruffi di Vallelunga, venue of the second round of the Italian F4 Championship, US Racing’s Luka Sammalisto completed a perfect weekend. Three wins from the three races he contested for the Finnish driver, who only missed Race 2 because of the group rotation format, with that race instead won by teammate Edu Robinson.
