Current season

Italian Formula 4 Championship is the first formula racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The inaugural season was the 2014 Italian F4 Championship, effectively replacing the Formula Abarth.

The Italian F4 championship is regarded as amongst the most competitive of the national/regional F4 championships.[1] Lance Stroll, Lando Norris, Mick Schumacher, Jack Doohan, Zhou Guanyu, Ollie Bearman, Andrea Kimi Antonelli And Arvid Lindblad have since driven in Formula One, and numerous Italian F4 drivers have had professional careers in other series.

History

Gerhard Berger and the FIA Singleseater Commission launched the FIA Formula 4 in March 2013.[2] The goal of the Formula 4 is to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent.

The Italian Formula 4 was the first FIA Formula 4 championship to be launched. The Italian championship was launched by the ACI-CSAI on December 12, 2013.[3]

WSK Promotions, well known for its kart races in the WSK Euro Series e.a., was contracted to promote the championship, along with the original promoter ACI Sport.[4]

Cars

Italian race car constructor Tatuus was contracted to design and build all the cars.[5] Tatuus had also built all the cars for the Formula Abarth. The chassis is a monocoque made of carbon fibre.

The engine is a 1400cc Fiat-FPT.[6] This is the same engine used in the Formula Abarth between 2010 and 2013. It is detuned to fit the FIA Formula 4 regulations to Template:Cvt, down from the original Template:Cvt.

Starting from 2022, Tatuus F4-T421 have been used instead of Tatuus F4-T014.

Costs

The original goal of Formula 4 was to keep total costs for competitors under 100,000€ (in 2014) per season, but as of 2024 typical costs in the Italian championship far exceed this figure. One 2022 estimate put the season cost of competition at "upwards of 250,000€", one of the most expensive F4 series globally.[7]

The costs of competition in feeder series are typically met by either competitors families or wealthy benefactors, without an immediate commercial return for any funds provided.[8]
