Next generation assembles for second FIA F4 World Cup

16.10.26

The next generation of motor sport talent will line up for the second FIA F4 World Cup in Macao from 19-22 November with several national champions and title contenders set for action.

Following the highly successful inaugural FIA F4 World Cup in 2025, the event returns to the Macau Grand Prix with a multi-team entry format and more entries after the grid size was increased from 20 to 24 cars.

Twelve teams representing 10 countries each running two Pirelli-equipped Tatuus F4-T421 were selected to contest one of the most important junior single-seater events on the international calendar.

These international-level teams have recruited drivers, that in total, fly 21 national flags and represent Formula 4 Championships Certified by FIA from around the world.

Heading the entry list for Campos Racing are Scott Kin Lindblom from Sweden and his Hong Kong team-mate Kimi Yu Tsai Chan. Red Bull Junior Team driver Kin Lindblom placed seventh in the F4 British standings, while Chan holds second place in the current F4 China standings.

Hitech is represented by F4 British championship runner-up Theo Palmer from the UAE and Briton Jarrett Clark, 10th in his national series.

Monaco’s Oscar Repetto, who has built experience competing in F4 Italy this season, is joined at Hydrangea Kageyama Racing by Japanese driver Ryusho Nakazato, a competitor in his country’s Formula 4 Championship Certified by FIA.

Red Bull Junior Rocco Coronel, who starts the F4 Spanish season showdown from 6-8 November third in the standings, joins current points leader and fellow Dutch driver Kasper Schormans at MP Motorsport.

Prema Racing can count on the emerging talents of Alp Hasan Aksoy from Turkey and Belgian Dries van Langendonck. With one round remaining on 1 November, Aksoy is second in the F4 Italy order and the top Rookie driver. Van Langendonck, meanwhile, is the F4 British champion for 2026 and a member of the McLaren Driver Development Programme.

R-ace GP’s Franco-British pairing of Andy Consani and Kenzo Craigie have competed successfully in Italian F4 this season and are part of the Mercedes AMG Junior Programme, while Rodin Motorsport’s line-up of Canadian Jensen Burnett and American Vivek Kanthan have impressed in Spanish F4 in 2026.


Noah Killion from Australia has raced in F4 Italy this season and will make his FIA F4 World Cup debut with US Racing, which will also run its F4 Italy champion Luka Sammalisto from Finland.

Malaysian outfit Evans GP brings F4 Italy frontrunner David Cosma-Cristofor from Romania and Vietnam’s Hoai Nam Anh Nguyen to the FIA F4 World Cup.

Macau-based SJM Theodore Racing’s Noah Monteiro, the son of 2016 Macau Guia Race winner Tiago Monteiro, holds second place in F4 Spain with one round remaining, while the Portuguese racer’s Ukrainian team-mate, Oleksandr Bondarev, was a winner on his FIA Formula Regional European Championship debut at Imola last month. A member of the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy, Bondarev also raced in F4 Italy this season.

Yu Yan, who is currently third in F4 China in 2026, and Macau’s Si Lun Vernice Lao, form local squad Asia Racing Team RFN’s attack on the FIA F4 World Cup.

F4 Italy contender Ludovic Busso and Felipe Reijs complete the second FIA F4 World Cup entry for Argenti Motorsport. Reijs, from The Netherlands, has raced in F4 Spain and the F4 CEZ Championship Certified by FIA this year.

FIA Single-Seater Commission President Emanuele Pirro said: “The switch to a multi-team entry model for the second FIA F4 World Cup has already paid dividends with internationally renowned teams from 10 countries taking part. The entry list, which expands from 20 to 24 cars for this year, contains plenty of exciting talent for years to come, drivers for whom this will be their first taste of the Guia Circuit as they build their experience before they progress to the next level. When we created the FIA F4 World Cup in partnership with the AAMC and Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee, a key aim was for drivers to progress to the FIA FR World Cup, so it’s very significant that four of the top five finishers in the first FIA F4 World Cup last year will be racing in the FIA FR World Cup this year.”

The FIA F4 World Cup is a joint initiative by Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, FIA Member Club Automobile General Association Macao-China (AAMC) and the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee.

It was established to provide an opportunity for young drivers to gain experience of Guia Circuit before stepping up to the FIA FR World Cup in future seasons in line with the FIA Junior Single-Seater Pyramid.

Coverage of the FIA F4 World Cup will be streamed live and free of charge via the FIA’s official YouTube channel, while the event is one of four FIA-sanctioned competitions taking place during the 73rd Macau Grand Prix week along with the FIA FR World Cup, the FIA GT World Cup and the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour.
