Twelve victories throughout the season, three of them secured during the final weekend at the Mugello Circuit. That is Luka Sammalisto's remarkable tally in the Italian F4 Championship. The Finn had already mathematically secured the Drivers' title at Misano, while his team, US Racing, had also clinched the Teams' championship. Nevertheless, he arrived at the final round of the season with the same determination, intent on confirming his dominance.

The seventh and final round of the Italian F4 Championship got underway at Mugello with the qualifying sessions. David Cosma-Cristofor set the fastest overall time, delivering an outstanding lap around the Tuscan circuit in the cold conditions of the final weekend of October, which made it particularly important to maximise every opportunity.

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.

Misano World Circuit - The sixth and penultimate ACI Racing Weekend of the season came to an end at Misano. The weekend crowned Luka Sammalisto as the 2026 Italian F4 Champion, while US Racing secured the Teams’ title for the season.

The Italian F4 Championship closed the day at Mugello with a dramatic twist. Race 2 featured the drivers from Groups A and B, with Germany's Elia Weiss (Jenzer Motorsport) starting from pole position. Weiss looked determined to bring Jenzer Motorsport back to victory after the last one came in 2020. However, after controlling the race from the front, the R-ace GP Mercedes Junior Team driver Andy Consani came under increasing pressure, sparking an intense battle. Contact between the two resulted in a puncture for Weiss, forcing the Jenzer driver into the pits. Consani suffered front wing damage but was able to continue, only to later receive a 25-second penalty from Race Control.

Kenzo Craigie is the new E4 Championship leader after securing two victories at Paul Ricard. The R-ace GP Mercedes Junior driver won both Sunday races after finishing third in Race 1, bringing his total to 138 points and moving ahead of Finland's Luka Sammalisto in the standings.

Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Luka Sammalisto claimed his third victory of the weekend, the seventh of his season. Once again, it was a perfect score: wins in every race he has taken part in, exactly as he did at Vallelunga.

Italian F4 Championship leader after the opening round is Alp Aksoy (Prema Racing), who came close to a perfect scorecard at the Misano World Circuit. With two victories and a third-place finish, the Turkish driver collected 82 out of the 90 points available and became the first championship leader of the 2026 season.

The 2026 season of the Italian F4 Championship, the single-seater series promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, gets underway with record-breaking numbers. After the previous record set at Monza in 2022 with 44 cars on the grid, the championship has already surpassed that mark: 47 single-seaters ready to take to the track on Thursday for the collective tests ahead of the opening round of the season at the Misano circuit on the Adriatic Riviera.
