Feeder Series weekend review, results and standings: 2–4 May (Asia & Europe)

Feeder Series reviews the action that took place in European and Asian Formula Regional and F4 series over the weekend in the first of a two-part weekend review.

By Feeder Series

In what was the busiest weekend yet across junior single-seaters in 2025, dominance was the name of the game in almost all series and categories.

In their respective first rounds, F4 SEA and Italian F4 both had one driver who took maximum points after winning all races they started, while Spanish F4 almost ended up with a similar scenario were it not for a post-race penalty for the new championship leader in race one.

FR Europe and Japanese F4 were more evenly matched, though clear favourites emerged in their first rounds as well. In British F4, meanwhile, Rodin Motorsport took all three race wins, split among two drivers, in one of two rounds of the series this year that did not support the British Touring Car Championship.

Similar dominance marked the junior series rounds held in the Americas. The weekend reviews for those championships will be published late this evening.

FRegional Europe: De Palo claims first win as Giltaire takes points lead

Evan Giltaire left Formula Regional Europe’s 2025 season opener at Misano with a three-point lead. While some results seemed to be written in the stars, others, such as Matteo De Palo’s surprise win in race one, shook up expectations.

Giltaire and ex–F3 driver Nikita Bedrin topped the timesheets Friday for the first and second collective test sessions respectively. In qualifying one on Saturday morning, De Palo set a 1:28.794 to finish first in Group A, but it wasn’t enough for pole position as Group B’s Slater went faster with a 1:28.373. 

Slater lost the lead to De Palo into Turn 1, and the Briton’s race lasted one more corner. R-ace GP’s Jin Nakamura ran into the back of his car, with both cars ending up in the gravel as the safety car came out.

De Palo bolted at the restart, leaving Giltaire, who started fourth, to fend off Rashid Al Dhaheri. Having set the fastest lap, Pedro Clerot closed to within half a second of Al Dhaheri as the Emirati hounded Giltaire for second on the final lap, but none of them changed positions.

With De Palo’s win, Trident also took their first victory in the series since they joined in 2022. 

On Sunday morning, Group B hit the track first and Slater topped the timesheets with a 1:28.548. It was Giltaire, however, who took pole for race two by stopping the clock at 1:28.206 on his final lap, with then–championship leader De Palo only 0.168s slower.

The top four on the grid got clean starts and maintained their positions from lights to flag despite three safety car interventions that disrupted the race.

The first, on lap seven, happened after Giovanni Maschio lost control of his car exiting the final corner and slammed into the wall. On the restart lap the next time by, Al Dhaheri passed Clerot for fifth at Turn 4, but the Brazilian retook the position at the final corner after Al Dhaheri ran wide while attempting an overtake on Enzo Deligny. Bedrin followed Clerot through around the outside of Turn 1.

Al Dhaheri now risked ceding seventh to Akshay Bohra, who looked to the outside exiting Turn 8. But Dion Gowda in ninth lost control entering Turn 9 and skidded across the grass, hitting both cars. Gowda retired on the spot and caused the second safety car period, while Bohra came home 14th and Al Dhaheri 15th.

Only two laps remained after the third safety car restart, caused by a spin for Tim Gerhards. Deligny tried his best to steal third from De Palo but could not get by.

With his victory over Slater, Giltaire repeated what he did last year at Hockenheim by triumphing in race two of the season-opening round. The 2025 FR Middle East champion now leads the drivers’ standings with 43 points, followed closely by De Palo with 40 points – 11 more than he scored all season in 2024.

Italian F4: Nakamura-Berta conquers it all as Wheldon triumphs in race one

Italian F4’s new weekend format for the Misano round meant that each driver took part in only two of the first three races this weekend, but one of them, Kean Nakamura-Berta, still collected all the points he could and destroyed the competition.

Salim Hanna came out on top in the first qualifying session with a 1:35.841, but Nakamura-Berta, the quickest driver in the second session, beat him by more than half a second with a 1:35.326. The second group claimed the odd-numbered spots and the first group the even-numbered spots in the final order, which determined who participated in which of the first three races.

Race one featured no safety car interventions, but confusion when the lights went out shaped the race and resulted in several penalties for jumping the start. Maxim Rehm was the most obvious, storming into the lead from eighth as the lights went out, but he was caught and passed by both Sebastian Wheldon and polesitter Hanna mid-race.

The American racer finished 2.304s ahead of second-placed Hanna, with Gabriel Gomez rounding out the podium. Early leader Rehm put up no fight after earning a 10-second penalty and finished 10th.

In race two, Kean Nakamura-Berta led from lights to flag and won with a 4.939s margin over Van Amersfoort Racing’s Maksimilian Popov. The Russian driver overtook Colombia’s Salim Hanna – who had started on the front row – at the start, as did fellow Prema driver Tomass Štolcermanis later on. The Latvian, however, had to settle for fifth after he received a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits, promoting F4 Middle East champion Emanuele Olivieri to his first podium in the series. 

Prema locked out the front row for race three, with Nakamura-Berta ahead of Wheldon. They maintained these positions throughout to take first and second, with Olivieri rounding out the podium from fifth on the grid. The Italian overtook a fast-starting Kabir Anurag for fourth at the safety car restart, then passed VAR’s Popov with five laps remaining around the outside of Turn 1.

Nakamura-Berta once again led from pole to win the final race of the weekend, for which only the top 36 drivers overall after the third race qualified. Starting from second, Wheldon lost two positions into Turn 1 and ended up fourth by the end of the first lap. Passing him were Hanna and Popov, who then overtook the Colombian later on lap one to claim second place.

Though he had to settle for third in the final race, Hanna still took three of four rookie wins, with Oleksandr Bondarev winning the one race Hanna did not enter. Wheldon finished the final race fifth behind Olivieri for a final tally of 53 points, putting him 22 away from the all-conquering Nakamura-Berta.

Wheldon’s tally equals that of US Racing in the teams’ standings, which Prema Racing lead by an enormous 110-point margin.

Spanish F4: Lammers wins twice as Przyrowski inherits race one win

René Lammers was the star of the weekend in Spanish F4, winning all three races on track at Navarra despite not starting on pole in any of the three races. He only retained the last two victories, however, as a penalty for track limits handed Jan Przyrowski the win in race one.

Thomas Strauven started on pole in race one, but at the start he was overtaken by Lammers, who pulled away in the opening laps. The Dutchman’s gap was erased not long after, however, as Alexander Jacoby stopped at the side of the track to bring out the safety car on the third lap.

Despite initially pulling away on the restart, Lammers had to fend off Przyrowski in the closing laps after the Pole passed Strauven for second on the second lap after the restart.

Przyrowski finally made a lunge at the final corner on lap 14 and held a narrow advantage into Turn 1, but Lammers fought back around the outside of Turn 3 to regain the lead. Lammers ultimately crossed the line ahead of Przyrowski and Strauven, but the stewards ruled that he had gone off track while passing Przyrowski on lap 15 and gave him a one-place post-race penalty.

Strauven was on pole again for race two and kept the lead on the opening lap, but Lammers overtook him on lap two at Turn 3, which put him into the clutches of Przyrowski. Behind them, Lorenzo Campos went off track and retired from the race, causing the safety car to come out.

Following the safety car’s withdrawal, Lammers held off Strauven to take a long-awaited win that he kept after the race. Despite losing the mainplane of his rear wing on the final lap, Strauven held on to second place ahead of Przyrowski, who rounded out the podium.

Juan Cota went fastest in the second qualifying session and thus started on pole for race three, but he lost the lead to Ean Eyckmans before the first corner as Lammers followed him through exiting Turn 3. Just a lap later, Nathan Tye and Noah Monteiro collided at that very spot, bringing out the safety car.

Eyckmans kept the lead on the restart, but he was passed by Lammers on lap eight. On lap 13, the Belgian was also overtaken by countryman Thomas Strauven, who had already made a double overtake for third on Cota and Petrović just before Eyckmans lost the lead. 

In the end, Lammers won race three ahead of Strauven and Eyckmans, who took his second podium of the season as well as the rookie points lead. He fended off Petrović and Przyrowski, while polesitter Cota finished 12th after earning a 10-second track-limits penalty after the race.

Lammers heads into the third round of the season at Portimão as the new points leader, seven points ahead of Strauven and 14 over Przyrowski. Griffin Core by Campos lead the teams’ standings.

British F4: Piszcyk dominates Silverstone in Rodin clean sweep

Rodin Motorsport took a clean sweep of victories at Silverstone in British F4’s second round, securing double pole and two wins in the main races with Jimmy Piszcyk along with a reverse-grid win at the hands of Adam Al Azhari.

Piszcyk – who would have led the championship after round one were it not for the reversal of Tommy Harfield’s penalty in race two – broke his own lap record set in 2023 to top qualifying ahead of Argenti Motorsport’s Ethan Jeff-Hall. The latter was forced to start the opening race of the weekend in seventh, however, owing to a five-place grid penalty he carried over from the final race at Donington Park. 

Piszcyk led race one from lights to flag, maintaining a half-second gap over Fionn McLaughlin through two safety cars before pulling out another seven tenths in the final two laps to take the fastest lap alongside his commanding win. 

Martin Molnár, who had been jumped by McLaughlin off the line, held station to take his third consecutive podium with little pressure from behind as the top three broke away from Fortec Motorsport’s Henry Joslyn. 

In race two, Al Azhari in the other Rodin replicated Piszcyk’s race one performance, getting a better launch from row two to pass Joel Bergström for second before taking the lead of the race from polesitter Xavier Avramides into the Vale chicane. Rowan Campbell-Pilling lunged on Avramides at the same time to slot into second, and Harfield also slipped past the Hitech at Club for third. 

Contact between championship contender McLaughlin and Hitech teammate Thomas Bearman at Luffield on lap two spun the Irish driver and dropped him out of the points, protecting Piszcyk’s lead as the Rodin driver had failed to gain any places from 12th on the grid. The top five of Al Azhari, Campbell-Pilling, Harfield, Bearman and Joslyn remained in that order through a subsequent safety car restart after Joel Bergström stopped on track.

Piszcyk lined up on pole again for race three for another lights-to-flag victory, with Molnár getting better traction off the line to pass Jeff-Hall into Copse for second. McLaughlin made an overtake of his own on the Argenti driver on the same lap, muscling past down the inside of Brooklands.

Further back, Leo Robinson – who had another difficult qualifying – flew off the line to jump from 14th to fifth by the end of the first lap, ahead of Rowan Campbell-Pilling, who had his own impressive launch off the line from ninth. 

The top six all held their positions from the end of lap one to the chequered flag despite a mid-race safety car brought out after Harfield stopped on track. 

While Piszcyk claimed two wins on either side of a non-score in the reverse-grid race, previous leader Harfield endured contrasting fortunes, retiring from races one and three because of contact and dropping 35 points behind the lead.

Japanese F4: Suzuki and TGR lead but Kageyama steals the spotlight

Japanese F4 kicked off its second season with 49 drivers racing the Toray Carbon Magic MCS4-24 car at Fuji this weekend. All eyes were on the two Honda-affiliated and six Toyota-affiliated drivers in the Champion Class, but Kageyama Racing’s Itsuki Sato and Ryo Shirasaki posed a stiff challenge and took a win apiece. 

Sato topped the first and last practice sessions at Fuji, but teammate Shirasaki was fastest in qualifying. With Sato second and both drivers also setting the fastest two second-fastest laps in the same order, Kageyama locked out the front row for the first two 14-lap races.

In the first contest Saturday afternoon, both cars had weak getaways. Sato jumped the start but ended up only fifth entering the first corner, while teammate Shirasaki was even slower off the line and dropped to 21st. Sato fought back to third on the opening lap behind returning Toyota juniors Tokiya Suzuki and Kiyoshi Umegaki. 

Umegaki took the lead from Suzuki at Turn 1 on lap six, just before the safety car was deployed for a multi-car crash in the Champion Class midfield. The lead battle continued after the restart on lap nine, with Sato in third also involved. 

Suzuki finally retook the lead down the inside of Turn 1 on lap 10, which proved decisive as the safety car was deployed on lap 11 and the race never returned to green-flag conditions. Sato received a penalty for jumping the start, dropping him to 11th and promoting B-Max’s Tosei Moriyama to third position behind Suzuki and Umegaki.

In race two on Sunday, both Kageyamas launched well and led into Turn 1. The safety car came out on the second lap after another multi-car collision.

The race restarted on lap seven, and the leading quartet remained unchanged in the closing laps. Shirasaki thus took his first series victory ahead of Sato and Suzuki.

Having set the fastest laps in race one, the Kageyama teammates also locked out the front row for race three. Shirasaki, who started second, led from Sato and Moriyama on lap one before a safety car was called on lap two for two separate incidents involving five cars total.

The race restarted on lap seven, with Sato attacking his teammate for the lead into Turn 1 but failing to get past. An incident between Drago Corse’s Fuki Tanaka and TGR’s Yuzuki Miura behind them brought out the safety car moments later.

Shirasaki seemed assured of victory, but misfortune struck him on lap 10. With the field still behind the safety car, he came to a standstill at Turn 12, just as Ponos Racing’s Ryota Horachi, running sixth, stopped opposite him. Both cars reversed off track as Sato inherited the lead. 

Following that bizarre moment, the race finished on lap 11 behind the safety car. Sato took his first win of the season, ahead of Moriyama and points leader Suzuki.

In the Independent Class, Kentaro won the first and third races and finished third in race two, which Dragon won.

F4 SEA: Sawer sweeps season-opening Sepang round

Evans GP’s Alex Sawer came out on top in the opening round of F4 South East Asia, winning all three races at the Sepang International Circuit to eke out a 42-point advantage over Rishon Rajeev. 

The Vietnamese racer had taken pole position for the first race of the season and led the entirety of the contest, though it only began in earnest on lap three after two laps behind the safety car. Sawer’s teammate Seth Gilmore immediately challenged for the lead around the outside of Turn 1, but the race was neutralised a few corners later after BlackArts Racing’s Joshua Berry spun into the gravel at Turn 3 and retired from the race. 

After the restart on lap five, a similar incident befell Rajeev, though he got back on track. Sawer stretched out a gap of 5.897 seconds over Gilmore by the end of the 11-lap contest, with Iñigo Anton completing the podium and Rajeev passing Thomas Yu Lee for seventh on lap 10.

For the reverse-grid race two, Wang Zhongwei started on pole but lost first place off the line to Anton, who held the lead in the opening stages. As Anton pulled into first place at Turn 1, Gilmore hit Wang and sustained front wing damage, while the Chinese driver retired in the pits with a puncture.

The other Evans GP car of Sawer, who started fourth, jumped up to second after lap one. On the next lap, he took the lead from Anton around the outside of Turn 1 and successfully defended from the Filipino in the following corners.

Gilmore caught up to Anton, but his front wing damage worsened and he was forced to pit for repairs on lap six after Rajeev passed him for third. 

Sawer kept the lead to win race two on the road ahead of Anton and Rajeev, but Anton and teammate Berry were both disqualified. Rajeev thus took second place, with Ben Anh Nguyen elevated to third.

Sawer was on pole again for race three and held the lead at the start as Seth Gilmore fell to fourth on the opening lap. On the following lap, the Australian passed Iñigo Anton for third place. He battled Rajeev on lap three before making the move on the main straight on lap four despite contact between the pair.

On lap six, the safety car was called as torrential rain hit the track, which then turned into a red flag at the end of lap eight that ended the race prematurely. With the results taken on countback from the sixth lap, Sawer took his third win in a row ahead of Gilmore and Rajeev, though they swapped places in the final results after Gilmore was given a 10-second penalty for making contact with the Indian driver. Berry also spun out on lap seven, but the red flag annulled the incident.
