F1’s United States Grand Prix and its F1 Academy support races drew the motorsport spotlight this weekend, but Euroformula Open, Eurocup-3, F4 CEZ and the GB4 Winter Series also provided plenty of action. Feeder Series reviews everything that happened.

By Feeder Series

Three series had championships decided this weekend, and all in some way came by the tightest of margins. In F4 CEZ, new champion Elia Weiss won the title after race one – only by a point, however, with a 51-point advantage and 50 still available in the two races he would run after. One point was also the margin separating the top two drivers in GB4’s winter series weekend at Snetterton, although post-race penalties flipped their ranking. You can find out more about F1 Academy’s title decider in our weekend report, to be published tomorrow.

Enzo Yeh and James Egozi had already won the Euroformula Open and Eurocup-3 titles respectively, but they made statements this weekend, with two wins for the former at Barcelona and one for the latter at the Hungaroring. Keep reading for all the details on how the races unfolded.

Luwive Sambudla took the lead of the Indian F4 championship earlier in the week in Chennai. He won races one and two, bringing his win total up to five, and finished third in race three. Previous championship leader Aris Kyriakou only stood on the podium once this weekend, with a third place in race two, and now sits 21 points behind Sambudla. Aaron Mehta converted race three pole position into his first win of the season to take third in the standings, but Ntiyiso Mabunda is only three points behind him after a trio of second places.

Euroformula Open: Dobrzański steals rookie title as Yeh ends title campaign in style

After 24 races across eight rounds, the curtain has fallen on the 2026 Euroformula Open season at Barcelona.

The final weekend maintained the theme of the previous three, as Jesse Carrasquedo Jr secured his fourth consecutive pole position by 0.270 seconds over champion Enzo Yeh.

But it was Yeh who led after the first lap, jumping Carrasquedo at the start.

The action came to an abrupt halt with a safety car at the end of the second lap. Lorenzo Castillo was sandwiched between Javier Herrera and Jan Koller at Turn 1, leaving Koller and Castillo stuck in the run-off on exit.

After the resumption for lap five, little changed in the order. By lap 13, Carrasquedo finally looked to challenge Yeh for the lead. The Mexican hovered around half a second behind in the final laps, but a move never looked on.

Yeh led Carrasquedo and Diego de la Torre across the line to claim his ninth win of the season.

Race two saw Herrera start alongside Alessandro Famularo, with Ricardo Baptista and Herrera’s rookie title rival Wiktor Dobrzański behind.

But the front row suffered a disastrous start.

De la Torre rocketed all the way to the lead after starting sixth, with Baptista and Dobrzański slotting in behind.

After some minor scraps in the first laps, Herrera swung his BVM around the outside at Turn 1 on lap five, snatching third from his adversary Dobrzański.

Though the lead was not in doubt with De la Torre storming away out front, Herrera looked feisty as he pushed to take second away from Baptista.

The 16-year-old Mexican made a move on lap 13, trying down the inside of Turn 1 but failing to complete the manoeuvre. A second unsuccessful attempt the following lap was the last chance he got.

Before long, disaster befell Herrera when he began to slow on the exit of Turn 5 on the final lap. A gearbox issue saw him slip to sixth, gifting Dobrzański a podium behind Baptista and De la Torre, who secured his fifth victory of the season.

Among the rookie contenders, Dobrzański started ninth for race three, while Herrera started fourth. Ahead of him was guest driver Ary Bansal, himself behind Koller and reverse-grid polesitter Baptista.

Again there was drama.

Herrera and Dobrzański stalled. The latter recovered quicker and got ahead of his rookie title rival as Koller took the race lead ahead of Baptista and Yeh.

At the start of lap two, 2026 champion Yeh dived around Baptista to snatch second at Turn 1.

Lap six saw the Taiwanese driver take another place, Koller’s stalwart defensive effort rendered obsolete by Yeh at the first corner.

The Czech driver held his nerve to hold second ahead of Baptista, withstanding a move into Turn 1 on lap eight and forcing the Brazilian into the clutches of Bansal.

The Indian driver kept the throttle pinned around Turn 3, the BVMs banging wheels as they straightened up and sending a puff of white smoke into the air.

The two battled until Turn 7, when Bansal relented, though he later snatched third the following lap and second on lap 13.

Yeh clinched a 10th victory to round off his championship campaign ahead of guest driver Bansal and Koller, with Dobrzański being crowned rookie champion by five points ahead of Herrera.

Eurocup-3: Palou Motorsport seal teams’ title by sweeping inaugural Hungaroring weekend

With one round to go in Eurocup-3’s 2026 season, Palou Motorsport secured their maiden teams’ championship after not only winning both races in Hungary but also scoring their fourth 1-2 finish of the main season on Sunday.

Polesitter Ean Eyckmans was quickly overtaken by both Heitor Dall’Agnol and Keanu Al Azhari on the run down to Turn 1, the former emerging out of the corner in the lead as the latter ran out wide. James Egozi, who started seventh, then took third away from the Belgian driver around the outside of Turn 4.

The leading pair of Dall’Agnol and Al Azhari soon began to pull away from the rest of the field. They were eight seconds ahead of the pack when the safety car was deployed on lap 14 for Bianca Bustamante, who pulled off after Turn 3 to retire.

Racing resumed three laps later, and Dall’Agnol immediately fended off Al Azhari into the first corner. Egozi quickly tried to take advantage and overtake the Emirati driver at the next hairpin but ran wide, allowing Eyckmans through for third.

In the end, Dall’Agnol crossed the line 0.567 seconds in front to secure his maiden Eurocup-3 victory ahead of Al Azhari and Eyckmans, three months after being stripped of the win at Imola.

The American driver started race two from pole and got a better launch than his Brazilian teammate, who was overtaken by a fast-starting Rene Lammers around the outside of Turn 1 from fifth on the grid. The Dutch driver’s launch, however, came by way of a jump start, for which he was penalised mid-race with a 10-second penalty.

Green-flag running lasted until lap nine, when the first of two safety cars in the race came out for a stopped Rahim Alibhai at Turn 4. After its two-lap deployment, Egozi continued to lead the field unopposed, with the frontrunners mostly staying as they were.

On lap 13, Christopher Feghali and Stefan Bostandjiev came to blows at Turn 12, which left the Bulgarian driver’s car stranded in the run-off and triggered the second neutralisation. The race ultimately ended behind the safety car as there was insufficient time to recover Bostandjiev’s car.

Egozi scored a record-breaking ninth victory of the season, surpassing 2023 champion Esteban Masson’s tally of eight. Lammers finished second on the road but fell to 23rd once his penalty was applied as a result of the bunched-up field. Dall’Agnol therefore inherited second and Al Azhari was promoted to the podium.

With both championship titles now settled, the next-closest battles to be fought at the season finale in Barcelona are for runner-up in the drivers’ standings and third in the teams’ standings. In the former, Al Azhari currently leads the fight on 178 points, 11 points ahead of Lammers. Eyckmans is in turn a single point behind his teammate and two ahead of Dall’Agnol.

In the latter, Al Azhari’s two podiums have helped Hitech overtake Campos for third. The British outfit now have a 16-point advantage with 230 points.

F4 CEZ: Weiss secures the championship with two wins at the Hungaroring

Elia Weiss sealed the F4 CEZ championship in race one of the season finale at the Hungaroring, adding a victory in the third race to boot. Georgiy Zasov won race two after a great launch, while in race four it was Teodor Borenstein who collected the victory – and a coffee machine – after a great battle with Weiss at the start.

Race one started behind with two laps behind the safety car in mixed conditions, with only Ginevra Panzeri from 10th running wet-weather tyres. She surged to third on the first green-flag lap, even passing second-place starter Borenstein, as Weiss held the lead and Borenstein dropped from second to fourth. The safety car then returned on lap four after Michalina Sabaj’s car stopped.

The restart took place on lap six, and Panzeri overtook Weiss and Markas Šilkūnas for the lead. Unfortunately for the Italian, her PA Racing car encountered issues a lap later, and she ultimately sank to 19th.

“I had a problem with the engine. It was not just the tyre,” Panzeri told Feeder Series after the race. “I lost like 30 kph of speed, so it was quite a lot.”

Weiss won the race, and with Borenstein in third, the gap between them was 51 points, enough for the German to be crowned champion with 50 points still up for grabs for each. Šilkūnas finished second overall and won the rookie class.

Zasov launched strongly in race two and overtook polesitter Borenstein on the run to the first corner. The top two quickly gapped Karhan in third. Behind them, Ella Häkkinen jumped the start, for which she later received a 10-second time penalty.

Benett Gáspár crashed in Turn 12 on lap nine, which prompted a safety car. The neutralisation ended on lap 11 with three minutes to go, with no changes in the top five thereafter. Zasov won his second race of the year followed by Borenstein and Karhan, making it yet another Jenzer podium lockout.

“It’s difficult to overtake here. I used that. Teo couldn’t really do anything,” Zasov said. “I managed the safety car restart well, which is good for me.  It’s my first safety car restart from first, so I’m happy I managed it.”

Weiss kept first place in race three thanks to an outstanding launch. Šilkūnas overtook Zasov for second but later earned a 10-second penalty for a false start, while Simon Rechenmacher passed Aleksandar Bogunović for fourth with a great move around the outside in Turn 2.

A fierce battle unfolded in the mid-pack as Häkkinen and Gáspár banged wheels in Turn 1 on lap seven. The McLaren junior came out on top in eighth – but it was all for naught as she later received a five-second time penalty for forcing Gáspár off track.

Later, Tomas Rudokas’ rear wing fell off, forcing him to retire with two laps left.

Weiss crossed the finish line first, again followed by two teammates in Zasov and Šilkūnas, who kept the podium despite his jump-start penalty.

“ I had a very good start, and then I just managed it from there, save the tires a bit for the final,” the German driver said. “This is my 10th win of the season, which is nice to have that double digits.”

The final race of the season began with drama as Šilkūnas spun approaching the grid, triggering a second formation lap. Weiss kept the lead, while after a poor start, Zasov dropped to third behind Borenstein.

The safety car was called later on the opening lap after an incident left Piotr Orcholski and debutant Paul Andriotis stranded on the outside of Turn 1. The racing action resumed on the third lap, and Borenstein used the restart flawlessly to overtake Weiss around the outside of Turn 2.

Chaos ensued on lap five when Gáspár drove into the back of Mio Olert’s car entering Turn 2 and speared into the barriers at high speed. The race was neutralised a second time before the red flag was thrown with 8:41 to go.

The race restarted behind the safety car on lap seven with a rolling start the next time around. No changes took place in the top two, but a battle erupted between Zasov and Simon Rechenmacher for third. The pair pushed each other hard – and even of the track – through the first two sectors. In the end, the Swiss driver remained in third on track, but he was given a five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage at the chicane, dropping him to eighth.

In the end, Borenstein won his fifth race of the season, denying Weiss a hat-trick. In third after penalties came Rechenmacher, the only non-Jenzer driver to earn an overall podium finish this weekend.

Weiss ended the season with 369 points, 51 points ahead of teammate Borenstein in second. Karhan remained third with 256 points followed by the absent David Walther in fourth and Rechenmacher in fifth. Šilkūnas was crowned the rookie champion with 335 points, 24 ahead of Rechenmacher and 45 ahead of Zasov.

GB4 Winter Series: Phillips clinches inaugural Winter Series title in controversial fashion at Snetterton

Elite Motorsport’s Jesse Phillips was crowned GB4 Winter Series champion, spoiling George Proudford-Nalder’s party following a post-race penalty for the Australian at the end of the weekend that handed the title to the Briton by one point.

GB4 returnee Conor Grant stole the spotlight at the start of the weekend on Saturday morning, with his 1:49.604 being good enough for race one pole. He edged out teammate Proudford-Nalder by a narrow 0.020s as Phillips was third, 0.279s back from the Irishman.

Grant got off the line well at the start and spent most of the early stages defending the lead from Proudford-Nalder, the pair pulling away from Phillips. Behind them, reigning Ginetta Juniors champion Lewis Goff made his way past Chase Fernandez for fourth at Bomb Hole on lap two, with Harrison Mackie overtaking Fernandez at Nelson a lap later.

As the clock wound down, Grant led all 11 laps and held off his teammate’s final-lap attacks to secure his first career win in a Douglas 1-2, with Phillips joining them on the podium in third.

Rain drenched the track prior to race two, which Proudford-Nalder started on pole with Grant alongside. The Australian initially led the way, but third-place starter Phillips moved past Proudford-Nalder at Nelson to take the lead. As the lead changed hands, Grant fell to fifth at the start – before a trip through the grass at Williams while battling with Mackie saw him fall down to seventh by the end of the opening lap.

Just a lap later, further chaos set in at Williams as a multi-car collision between Fernandez, Solenn Amrouche and Archie Pearce took all three out of contention. The safety car was deployed before race control flew the red flag on lap four.

Even with the mid-race restart, Phillips led all eight laps to secure the race two win, as Elite locked out the podium with Mackie and John O’Donnell collecting silverware of their own. An off-track excursion at Nelson on the restart from Proudford-Nalder dropped him from second to seventh, but he ultimately recovered to fourth at the flag.

Following a delay in on-track activities caused by a power outage, Mackie threw himself in the mix by qualifying on pole for race three with a 1:49.581. Title rivals Phillips and Proudford-Nalder trailed him.

The start was delayed after Archie Bullard’s car broke down on the installation lap. Proudford-Nalder shot from third to first with a perfect getaway. Polesitter Mackie defended second from Phillips before the race two winner was passed by Fernandez at Williams and slipped to fourth.

At the end of lap eight, Goff took fifth from Grant, who ran wide on the exit of Murrays and then spent the rest of the race holding off O’Donnell. Up front, Proudford-Nalder held off a hard-charging Mackie, while Fernandez gave R Racing its first podium in single-seaters ahead of Phillips, who received a 10-second penalty for starting out of position.

Mackie led the way at the start of race four, while Proudford-Nalder rocketed from fourth to second on the opening lap. A multi-car collision at Montreal forced Alexander De Benedittis and Jamie Leverton to stop on track with terminal damage, which forced the safety car to be deployed on the following lap.

On the lap five restart, Proudford-Nalder and Phillips began to squabble for second, and they then began pestering Mackie for the lead. It all came to blows at Agostini a lap later, however, as a collision between Proudford-Nalder and Mackie dropped them to fifth and sixth respectively while Phillips ran away with the lead.

As the sun began to set, Phillips took his second win of the weekend ahead of Fernandez, while Proudford-Nalder capitalised on a battle between Mackie and Grant to steal third on the final lap and take the title provisionally by two points, albeit without a front wing.

His celebrations were short-lived. Nearly three hours after the race, he was given a one-place penalty for his off-camera collision with Mackie on the last lap, which promoted Mackie to third. As Proudford-Nalder was reclassified in fourth, Phillips officially took the GB4 Winter Series crown by a lone point over the Douglas Motorsport racer.
