4 March 2025 – The Italian Formula 4 championship kicked off this weekend on the Misano circuit. Emanuele Olivieri, F4 Middle East Champion, quickly established himself as a serious contender for the championship by finishing on the third step of the podium on two occasions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such a packed field, the weekend’s format was redesigned: qualifying took place in two separate series, while the drivers were split into three groups for the races. Emanuele Olivieri (#68), Alex Powell (#41), Emily Cotty (#42), Oleksandr Savinkov (#52) and Guy Albag (#44)<\/a> have to contend with a highly competitive field.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very first free practice, the drivers had to adapt to the circuit conditions. Emanuele Olivieri immediately placed himself in the leading group with a 5\u1d49 place in Free Practice 1, followed by a 6\u1d49 position in the second session. Alex Powell, Oleksandr Savinkov, Guy Albag and Emily Cotty all improve their performances in Free Practice 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
