The two series, Formula Regional European Championship certified by FIA and Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth, are at their ending point for this 2019 season.

Both series already have a crowned Champion: Frederik Vesti (Prema Powerteam) won the Formula Regional with the annexed 25 points for the FIA Superlicence – the maximum among all the equivalent classes – while Dennis Hauger (Van Amersfoort Racing) reached the title in the Italian F4. Beside that, there’s still a lot to fight for this weekend.

In Formula Regional the battle for the final podium involves Enzo Fittipaldi (Prema Powerteam) who is protecting his position from David Schumacher (US Racing), fiercely attacking reassured by his growing performances during the last period.

In the Italian F4 the battle for the podium is between two Prema Powerteam drivers: Gianluca Petecof, currently in second position, and Paul Aron. Aron is also the leader of the Rookies, followed by Edgar Jonny (Jenzer Motorsport) and Joshua Duersken (BWT Muecke Motorsport). There is also a winner to be decided in the team standings, with Van Amersfoort Racing currently leading with only 10 pt advantage on the Italian Prema Powerteam.
