The return of Formula 2 and Formula 3 drew the most attention among European junior single-seater watchers, though a number of other championships featured on the schedule too. Feeder Series reviews the action from Formula Regional Europe, GB3, GB4, Italian F4 and British F4. 

By Feeder Series

So intense is the activity this weekend that for the first time this year, our weekend review will be split into two parts. We’ll be publishing our standalone report from Indy NXT’s Laguna Seca finale as well as the Asia and Americas championships tomorrow, and as always, F2 and F3 takeaways will follow as standalone pieces too.

The flurry of activity elsewhere in Europe led to several shifts in championship pictures. FR Europe’s new championship leader surged to the fore from fourth prior to the round, while British F4’s points leader rebounded from his one-round ban to stretch his advantage from four points to a more comfortable 33. GB3, GB4 and Italian F4 saw no changes at the top of the standings as their leaders put one hand on their respective championship trophies. Keep reading to find out what happened in those five series.

Over in Denmark, Nordic 4’s main season came to a close with many twists around Padborg Park’s 11 turns. Matteis Stigsen clawed back two points to Richard Olson by beating him to pole by just 0.081 seconds. In race one, however, Stigsen collided with Olson on lap seven, ending both of their races. Magnus Pedersen won, finishing ahead of last year’s champion Marius Kristiansen and Rosanne den Drijver.

Stigsen’s race came to an early end in race two as well, and Olson crossed the line as both winner and champion. Kristiansen and Pedersen joined him on the podium. As a final twist, both Stigsen and Olson were disqualified from race three, with Christoffer Christensen taking his first win ahead of Mille Hoe and Mirza Ahmetagić, also on the podium for the first time.

FRegional Europe: Debutant Bondarev shines as dark horse Olivieri steps into spotlight at Imola 

Emanuele Olivieri crowned himself FRegional Europe’s 2026 rookie champion in his dramatic charge into the overall championship lead, while Oleksandr Bondarev took a win and a second-place finish in a stunning debut weekend at Imola.

After Bondarev and Sebastian Wheldon topped Thursday’s collective test sessions, Olivieri staked his claim to glory by topping Friday morning’s free practice, with title rivals Wheldon, Kean Nakamura-Berta and Rashid Al Dhaheri behind in fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

Nakamura-Berta finished only seventh in qualifying one’s group A, with Al Dhaheri third and Tomass Štolcermanis first. In group B, Wheldon could only muster second as Olivieri smashed the American’s time by 0.468 seconds – 0.266 seconds ahead of Štolcermanis.

Štolcermanis’ grid penalty meant Wheldon was alongside Olivieri for race one. A difficult start for the Floridian let Olivieri bound away, and a collision between Al Dhaheri and Štolcermanis at Tosa left the Emirati in the wall and the Latvian with terminal suspension damage. 

The ensuing safety car period ended for lap four, but it returned on lap six after Alex Ninovic crashed. Miguel Costa’s incident on lap nine triggered the third safety car before three separate incidents on laps 12 and 13 brought out the fourth. 

That meant race winner Olivieri was confirmed as 2026 rookie champion while taking the overall championship lead away from Nakamura-Berta. Wheldon and Alexandre Munoz completed the podium.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend so far,” Olivieri told Feeder Series after the race. “For the race, the main focus was to do a clean start and that was it. We knew that the pace of the car, my pace, was really good.

“But I was not expecting this many safety cars,” he added. “It was quite tough to keep Wheldon behind in the straight, but I managed to stay calm, managed well all the starts. We just did five push laps, but the pace was good and [I’m] honestly really happy about the execution of the race.”

Salim Hanna escaped from reverse-grid pole in race two ahead of Jules Roussel and Bondarev. As Francot closed in behind, Bondarev slung his Van Amersfoort down the inside of Piratella to snatch second on lap three.

Andrija Kostić and Maximilian Popov’s spins at Tamburello the next lap brought Saturday’s fifth safety car, with the restart coming on lap seven. A scrappy restart lap for Roussel dropped him behind Francot before Chi Zhenrui and Yuki Sano collided on lap eight, causing a sixth intervention.

The restart on lap 10 featured squabbling as Bondarev applied pressure on Hanna. The Ukrainian sat within four tenths to the leader across the next two laps, before throwing some defensive shapes Francot’s way on lap 13.

The safety car came back out once more after Saqer Al Maosherji and Andrea Dupé collided at Tosa, withdrawing in time for a last-lap shootout. Hanna streaked to his first series victory, with the debuting Bondarev losing ground but still finishing second ahead of Francot.

Olivieri led in qualifying on Sunday morning, posting the fastest time in his group with Wheldon only seventh. But the home hero’s four-tenth improvement on his Friday time was only enough for second on the grid, as group A’s Bondarev astonishingly edged him out by a tenth and led Francot by a hundredth.

The newcomer and rookie champion started side by side for race three, with Olivieri pulling away slowly from his grid box but managing to keep his position.

A lap one safety car was withdrawn before the start of lap five, with Bondarev out of Olivieri’s striking distance. An incident at Tamburello for Giovanni Maschio and Alexander Abkhazava on lap eight required further intervention, and the restart on lap 10 precipitated yet another safety car after Rahim Alibhai crashed.

A strong restart from Bondarev on lap 13 gave him enough space to keep Olivieri behind, though the Williams junior defended the inside into Rivazza as the finish approached. 

The field behaved themselves until the end, and newcomer Bondarev claimed his first win ahead of points leader Olivieri and a resurgent Francot.

With one round left, Olivieri sits atop the standings on 200 points ahead of Wheldon on 180, while Nakamura-Berta and Al Dhaheri sit on 175 and 165 respectively after forgettable weekends. 

R-ace GP extended their teams’ championship on 420 points, with MP on 326 the only team who can overhaul them in Hockenheim.

GB3: Flying Fairclough takes the double as Campbell-Pilling clinches first win

Hitech’s Deagen Fairclough delivered another strong weekend as GB3 headed to Donington Park for the sixth round of this year’s championship in his pursuit of the championship top three.  

Though Fairclough set the pace in all of the practice sessions, it was championship leader Nikita Bedrin of VRD Racing who set the fastest time in qualifying one, with a 1:20.324. Fairclough was just 0.056 seconds back, while Bedrin’s closest title rival, Rodin Motorsport’s Martin Molnár, was a further three tenths behind.

In qualifying two, Fairclough secured pole with a 1:20.107. This time Bedrin took second, 0.069s back, with Molnár once again third.  

Bedrin started race one on pole but quickly lost out to Fairclough, who overtook going into Redgate on the opening lap. Bedrin stayed close, however, and gave Fairclough no chance to pull away.

Rodin Motorsport’s Abbi Pulling overtook teammate Molnár to slot into third position while the Hungarian fought to keep his other teammate Maxim Rehm and Xcel Motorsport’s Lucas Fluxá at bay. Fairclough kept Bedrin behind for the first half of the race until Bedrin caught up with 10 minutes to go, attempting several moves on the Hitech but coming up short each time.

He didn’t back down, however, and spent the remainder of the race trying to get back past Fairclough. Despite the challenge, the Hitech driver remained in front and took the race win, followed by Bedrin, while Pulling took third.  

As race two began, Fairclough mimicked his good start from race one, immediately pulling away from the rest of the field. Bedrin, however, was under pressure from Arden Motorsport’s Leon Wilson, who had moved up to third. Wilson also had Molnár hot on his heels, and together they made Bedrin go defensive, enabling Fairclough to move further up the road. 

Disaster struck for Bedrin when he hit the barriers at the Fogarty Esses at the end of lap one, which brought out the safety car. This came in with 17 minutes to go, and Fairclough controlled the restart well, holding off Wilson and Molnár.

The Hitech driver continued to build a gap until a large accident for Fortec Motorsport’s Jack Taylor and Xcel Motorsport’s Ricardo Baptista at Hollywood on lap eight brought out the safety car again. The race resumed with just five minutes to go, but no one could catch Fairclough, who took his second win of the weekend, followed by Wilson and Molnár.

Elite Motorsport’s Kyuho Lee started on pole for race three, but Xcel Motorsport’s Rowan Campbell-Pilling led out of the first corner having started third. Pulling, who started sixth, propelled herself into third behind Lee.

Campbell-Pilling held a steady lead until the fourth lap, when Lee tried to pass on the outside at McLean’s and brought both cars into the gravel. As Campbell-Pilling recovered to second and now had to hold off the Hillspeed of Peter Bouzinelos, Pulling had the opportunity to take the lead.. Campbell-Pilling regained it on the next lap, leaving  Pulling to hold off a fast-approaching Bouzinelos, who passed her just a few corners later.

Bouzinelos gave Campbell-Pilling no space to pull away. In the end, however, he just couldn’t pass Campbell-Pilling, who drove his Xcel machine to his first win in GB3. Bouzinelos took second, his first podium in the championship, while Pulling settled for third.  

Despite enduring two non-scoring races, Bedrin still holds the lead in the drivers’ championship on 392 points, 81 points ahead of Molnár. Fairclough’s double win moves him up to fourth in the standings, 37 behind Fluxá, going into the penultimate round at Brands Hatch.

GB4: Green closes down O’Grady’s lead as Stevenheydens stuns on debut

Elite Motorsport had a weekend to celebrate at Donington Park, taking a double pole position and two race wins in the GB4 Championship’s seventh round.  

Before the races began, a last-minute substitution was announced in the form of current GT4 European Series driver Yani Stevenheydens, driving this weekend in place of the injured Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso at Elite Motorsport. The 20-year-old Belgian – who finished second in French F4 in 2024 and has since raced in Eurocup-3 and Spanish F4 and their winter series – wasted no time in getting to grips with the GB4 car, setting a 1:27.990 in qualifying and taking pole position for both races. Stevenheydens was followed by teammate Fred Green, who was three tenths behind, with championship leader Alex O’Grady in third.  

Despite a trip to the barrier for Scorpio Motorsport’s Faris Organji on the formation lap, the first race began without incident, with polesitter Stevenheydens losing out to both Green and O’Grady going into the first corner. This gave the two championship rivals space to fight it out for first position, and Green held off the KMR of O’Grady, pulling a gap of more than a second by the end of the opening lap. 

A trip to the gravel for Arden Motorsport’s Solenn Amrouche at the Fogarty Esses brought out the safety car with 10 minutes to go. The race restarted with four minutes remaining and Green got a much better restart than O’Grady, immediately pulling away as they crossed the start-finish line. O’Grady had to hold off Stevenheydens and ultimately succeeded. Green finished the race first, reigniting his championship hopes.  

Stevenheydens got a much better start from pole in race two, managing to hold off Green into Redgate, while Torrin Byrne slotted into third.

A safety car was called before the end of the first lap following another trip to the gravel for Amrouche. The race restarted with 14 minutes to go, and Stevenheydens held off Green to maintain his lead.

An excursion into the gravel for KMR Sport’s Lily-May Watkins a lap after the restart triggered another safety car

Stevenheydens again controlled the restart with six minutes remaining, holding off both Green and Hillspeed’s Enzo Hallman, who had made his way into third position. Stevenheydens maintained the lead for the remainder of the race, taking the win ahead of teammate Green and Hallman.

Race three saw three-time reverse grid race winner Josh McLean of  Pace Performance start on pole position. McLean got a good start, but teammate John O’Donnell was hot on his heels, while Douglas Motorsport’s Conor Grant took third position away from Hillspeed’s Connor Willis and soon passed O’Donnell for second.

A safety car was deployed on the second lap as Fox Motorsport’s Archie Bullard pulled over and retired. On the restart with nine minutes to go, race leader McLean pulled away from Grant, who had his own sizable margin over O’Donnell in third. O’Donnell, meanwhile, faced pressure from Douglas Motorsport’s Dayton Coulthard but managed to hold off the Scottish driver.

The safety car came out again a lap after the restart when Byrne pulled onto the side of the track to retire. The race ended under that neutralisation, and McLean took his fourth win of the season, followed by Grant in second and O’Donnell in third.  

O’Grady now holds a 49-point lead over Green in the drivers’ championshipi, going into the final round at Brands Hatch, while Coulthard sits in third, 83 points behind O’Grady on 290 points. Elite grabbed the lead of the teams’ standings from Pace Performance for the first time since they were stripped of all their points after round one.

Italian F4: Sammalisto storms to double victory as Ruta delivers overtaking masterclass 

Luka Sammalisto extended his Italian F4 championship lead from 55 to 99 points after taking pole position, two victories and a second place at Imola, with his US Racing team nearly doubling their advantage from 94 to 186 points over Prema Racing as Edu Robinson logged a third victory for the team.

Having topped the second qualifying group and therefore been placed on pole for race one, Robinson took the lead after an incredible start and held off Mercedes junior Kenzo Craigie for the entire race, the pair trading fastest laps. Thomas Bearman completed the podium, starting and finishing third, while Ludovico Busso matched his season-best finish of fourth from race two at Monza.

David Cosma Cristofor dropped from fourth to eighth and landed amidst a posse of Premas, led by Alp Aksoy, who squabbled for sixth all race long. Aksoy eventually cleared the group and finished behind Andy Consani, though neither he nor anyone else in the top 10 managed to make any passes after lap one. Fabrício Fogaça and Bader Al Sulaiti both hit the barriers, but neither incident triggered a full race neutralisation. 

Championship leader and polesitter Luka Sammalisto dominated race two from pole to take his eighth win of the season. Race one winner Robinson and Bansal followed closely behind, duelling down into Acqua Minerale side by side on the opening lap with Bansal nipping up the inside. US Racing’s Noah Killion took a bumpier ride, running over the gravel exiting Piratella and dropping to second-to-last place.

A similar fate then befell Bansal on lap six, who dropped back to sixth, promoting Robinson to second. Bearman should have had a chance at another podium, but he had already been was overtaken by a charging  Aleksander Ruta. The Pole stormed down the inside of Bearman at Tamburello on lap five before elbowing past Robinson for second on lap nine at Rivazza and setting two fastest laps in the process, his best being a 1:47.095.

With two laps left, Ruta began to cut into Sammalisto’s lead, bringing it down from 2.6 seconds to 1.7 by race end, but Sammalisto’s gap proved too large. Robinson held on for third, while Bansal recovered to fifth. 

Despite starting on pole for race three, Sammalisto was beaten to Tamburello by Craigie. The Briton’s audacious move around the outside saw him snatch the lead into the first braking zone, but the Finn continued to challenge him throughout. He came close twice with strong exits out of the Villeneuve chicane and even launched one attempt up his rival’s inside at Piratella, but olid defensive driving and a late-race safety car, caused by an engine failure for Tamás Gender, meant Craigie held on for his second win of the season.

Bansal scored his fifth podium this season by finishing third, ahead of Cristofor in fourth and Christian Costoya. Ruta’s pass on Elia Weiss for ninth on lap nine was the only change of position within the top 10 after lap one.

Sammalisto converted pole position into the lead in race four, though his charge was immediately halted by a pile-up at Tamburello. Weiss and Pedro Lima were the main casualties, forcing those behind to take avoiding action.

The subsequent restart saw further drama as Aksoy lost part of his front wing after running over the kerb on the exit of Villeneuve. He pitted and dropped to the back, with Chartier also pitting under similar circumstances. 

Out front, Sammalisto set the fastest lap, a 1:46.807, with Craigie and Robinson remaining within a second of Sammalisto while Bansal was passed by Ruta. Emma Felbermayr and R-ace GP debutant James Anagnostiadis made contact at Tosa on lap nine, bringing out another safety car with Anagnostiadis’ car stranded. Sammalisto held on for the final-lap shootout at the restart to take his ninth win of the season ahead of Craigie, Robinson, Bearman and Ruta – the Van Amersfoort Racing driver battling past Bansal on the last lap. 

Heading into the penultimate round of the 2026 season, Sammalisto holds a 99-point lead over Cosma Cristofor on points, with Bansal’s strong weekend moving him into third. Aksoy drops to  fourth ahead of Savinkov.

British F4: Van Langendonck rebuilds championship lead at Croft in series return

British F4 returned to the Croft circuit in North Yorkshire for the first time since 2023, with the championship blown wide open by leader Dries Van Langendonck’s exclusion from the previous round at Donington Park. 

Despite his forced sabbatical, the McLaren junior was back on form in qualifying, taking a double pole ahead of Chiara Bättig – who tied the record for highest qualifying position for a female driver in British F4, equalling Abbi Pulling’s best result from the opening round of 2021. 

Van Langendonck made a strong start from the front of the field in race one while championship rival Lewis Wherrell struggled off the front row, allowing Ethan Jeff-Hall to slot into second place as the pack filtered through the first corner. 

Despite a scrappy opening lap with several drivers finding the gravel, the 16-year-old continued to push ahead, aided by the enlivenment of Wherrell in the later stages of the race. As the JHR Developments car applied the pressure on Jeff-Hall, Van Langendonck took the chequered flag 3.6 seconds in front while extending his lead over third-place finisher Wherrell by 11 points with the fastest lap.

Before race two, the 28-car field bolted on wet tyres for the first time in race conditions in 2026, with Jaber Al Sabah and George Proudford-Nalder lining up on the front row. A bundle of wheelspin for Al Sabah handed the Australian driver the lead before the first corner, while Scott Kin Lindblom snatched second. 

The damp and bumpy track caught out several drivers up and down the field, but the leading pair of Proudford-Nalder and Lindblom were able to break away from the pack even as the Red Bull–backed driver attempted to force a move left and right.

Though Lindblom got the nose of his Hitech alongside Proudford-Nalder’s Virtuosi into the final hairpin corner on the second lap, the Swedish driver lacked the traction on exit needed to make any move stick then or later. As the tarmac transitioned from damp to greasy, it was Proudford-Nalder who had the grip advantage, building a small gap over Lindblom to take Virtuosi’s first win at Croft by 0.595s. Al Sabah finished third.

Further down the order, Van Langendonck was able to climb from 12th to sixth, putting a further eight points between himself and Wherrell – who gained one place to finish ninth – at the top of the standings.

Bättig struggled off the line in race three, dropping behind Wherrell and Ethan Lennon through the opening corners of the lap to slot into fourth. Bättig kept Rodin’s Lennon under pressure through the race, which helped the championship protagonists break away as a pair, with Van Langendonck holding a roughly 0.6s gap over the JHR driver for much of the race. 

Despite a last-lap lunge from Wherrell, Van Langendonck crossed the line 0.369s ahead to take his sixth win of the season for another 10-point gain – including two points for pole position and another for fastest lap – over Wherrell in the standings. 

Van Langendonck’s ideal weekend puts him 33 points clear of Wherrell heading into the final two rounds – just eight points shy of his lead pre-suspension. Wherrell still leads in the Rookie Cup standings by 10.5 points. Hitech’s advantage over Rodin stands at 91.5 points, down from 102.5 before the round.
