More than ever, in his second year in the Italian Formula 4 Championship, James Wharton is determined to win and achieve the goals he has set himself. But sometimes circumstances are more difficult. It's all about collecting points in the overall standings and aiming for the podium when victory is out of reach. At Misano, the young Australian driver supported by the Ferrari Driver Academy added 2nd and 3rd places to his tally. With the Prema Racing team, James wants to stay in the title race...
From 4th to 7th May, the Misano Racing Weekend hosted various motor racing disciplines, including the highly competitive FIA-certified Italian F4 Championship, which brings together the world's leading hopefuls who have entered at the age of 15 and are eager to climb the ladder to the higher categories. James Wharton was at the forefront of the 2023 season opener at Imola and immediately put himself on the map on his arrival at the Italian circuit, finishing in the top three in all Free Practice sessions.
He even climbed to the top of the hierarchy during the final session on Friday before official Qualifying. This one was going to be extremely tight. With a time of 1:34.955 at an average speed of over 160 km/h, James was only 85 hundredths off pole position. "My times improved as the session went on and I was still hoping to make it on my last lap, but unfortunately that wasn't the case," said the Motorsport Australia representative.
