- In the third round of Spanish F4, Nikola Tsolov (BUL - Campos Racing) defends the leadership at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.
- At Oulton Park it is Alex Dunne (IRL - Hitech GP) who is looking to stretch his lead in the standings in the fourth round of British F4.
- Over 40 Abarth-powered Tatuus on track this weekend between Spain and the UK.
The 2022 season gets into full swing with the multiple Formula 4 championships running on the 180 hp Abarth 1.4 T-Jet engine. Fourth round of the season for the British F4 Championship Certified by FIA on the Oulton Park track and third round for the Spanish F4 Championship Certified by FIA at Valencia's Ricardo Tormo.
In the Spanish series, Nikola Tsolov (BUL - Campos Racing) is the driver to beat. The Bulgarian has already collected three victories and a second place in the first six races of the season, taking the leadership ahead of the Pole Tymoteusz Kucharczyk (POL - MP Motorsport) who, with one victory and four podiums, has been very consistent at this start of the season. All eyes will also be on Australian Hugh Barter (AUS - Campos Racing) and the first classification leader Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak (THA - MP Motorsport), as well as Italian Valerio Rinicella (ITA - MP Motorsport), who just finished on the podium for the first time in his career in the second round at Jerez. At Valencia, on the 4,005-metre Ricardo Tormo circuit, great battles are expected with a field of more than 25 single-seaters. Saturday two free practice sessions, the first qualifying and race 1, which will start at 4.55pm. On Sunday 12 June, at 9.00am the second qualifying session followed, at 11.15am, by the 18-minute plus one-lap sprint race. Completing the timetable of the third round of the Spanish F4 Championship will be, again, the 25-minute plus one-lap race scheduled at 2.45pm. All races of the Spanish series will be live streamed on the series' YouTube and Twitch channels.
Expectations are also high for round four of the British F4 Championship Certified by FIA with Alex Dunne (IRL - Hitech GP) calling for redemption after a disappointing weekend in the Italian series. The Irishman, however, is firmly leading the British series with a 39-point advantage over US rookie leader Ugo Ugochukwu (USA - Carlin). On the tight Oluton Park circuit it will be crucial to perform well in qualifying as the Cheshire track has no less than 17 corners on 4,307 meters. Sixteen Abarth-powered Tatuus are on track with Oliver Gray (GBR - Carlin), Aiden Neate (GBR - Phinsys by Argenti) and Joseph Loake (GBR - JHR Developments) chasing the leading duo. After the two free practice sessions on Friday, on Saturday 12 June the drivers will be back on track at 10.45am for Oluton Park qualifying which will precede the first race scheduled at 2.55pm. On Sunday green lights for race 2 and race 3 at 1pm and 5.45pm live on ITV.
