The last race of the weekend was nothing short of spectacular, wrapping up the second round of the Italian F.4 Championship in style after a weekend packed with drama from the very start. After qualifying was disrupted by intermittent rain and the three qualifying races were won by Kean Nakamura-Berta (Race 1 and 2) and Sebastian Wheldon (Race 3), the final race delivered a twist: a clash between the top two contenders paved the way for Gabriel Gomez to take the win.

Sebastian Wheldon, the American driver racing for Prema Racing, claimed victory in Race 3, which featured drivers from Groups A and C. This marked the final contest of the group stage before the Vallelunga Final race, where the top 36 drivers of the weekend will compete.

Race 2 at Vallelunga proved to be one of the most thrilling contests of the early season. Despite the championship still being in its early stage, it’s already delivering top-tier excitement. Kean Nakamura-Berta continued his perfect streak, clinching his fifth win after having took part in as many races. This latest triumph was particularly spectacular, as he secured P1 with a superb start that allowed him to exit Turn 1 in the lead. From there, he defended fiercely against Sebastian Wheldon’s relentless attacks.

Kean Nakamura-Berta, the Anglo-Japanese driver for Prema Racing, didn’t put a foot wrong. This morning he secured his fourth win from four starts, taking the opening race of the second round at the Autodromo Piero Taruffi in Vallelunga. Increasing his lead in the standings, Nakamura-Berta now sits at 100 Championship points.
