Seven female drivers, each more competitive than the last, went head-to-head in F4.

The young Moroccan driver once again distinguished herself in the French F4 Championship during the fifth and penultimate round at the Lédenon circuit. She managed to climb onto the women's podium in Races 2 and 3 after some spectacular battles.
