At last, after the first three weekends of Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth were affected – more or less significantly – by rain, the qualifiers and the three races at Mugello were held in stable weather conditions.

There were three different winners over the weekend, with Juan Correa, Giuliano Raucci and current standings leader Marcos Seibert sharing the laurels.  

Over the weekend, the general and team rankings did not see any changes in the first position, while in the Rookie Trophy Simone Cunati (Vincenzo Sospiri Racing) overtook Kush Maini of BVM Racing.

Marcos Siebert of Jenzer Motorsport is therefore in first place with 165 points. For him the Mugello weekend only straightened out in Race 3, which he won, but his advantage over second-placed Mick Schumacher of Prema Power Team (126 points) was reduced by just one point compared to the eve of the weekend in Tuscany, as Schumacher only managed to score points in Race 1 where he finished second.

In third place, now level on points with Schumacher but below in the standings with one fewer race victories, is Raul Guzman of DR Formula. The Venezuelan Mauricio Baiz of Kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport scored no points at Mugello but remains fourth, while Dutchman Job Van Uitert of Jenzer Motorsport (84.5), Brazilian Joao Vieira of Antonelli Motorsport (68), another Brazilian Giuliano Raucci of Diegi Motorsport (64) and the Chinese Ye Yifei of Kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport (63) occupy the following four championship positions.

Incredibly the top ten riders in the overall rankings of the Italian Championship F4 are of nine different nationalities.

After Indian Kush Maini of BVM Racing overtook Simone Cunati in first place in the Rookie Trophy at Imola, at Mugello it was the Italian who got back into first position: 147.5 points for him, against 131.5 for Maini. Juri Vips (128 points, twice first among the Rookies at Mugello) is third, followed by Lorenzo Colombo (BVM Racing) and Juan Correa.
