Over 40 drivers #racing in the Italian series, the same again in the German series, and now a further 19 competitors at the launch of the F4 NEZ Championship, to be held on 7 circuits in Russia, Holland, Sweden and Finland.

In Germany the duel between the Australian Joey Mawson and the German #mickschumacher will be renewed: in the first #event, in Oschersleben, Mawson won the first two races, and Schumacher the third. Mawson leads the points table, followed by the young Schumacher in second place. The three races in the Sachsenring are scheduled for Saturday 30 at 16.45 and Sunday at 11.20 and 15.40.
