Flack returned to Australia recently after participating in the Ferrari Driver Academy, but he was met with challenges almost immediately.

The 14-year-old Queenslander missed the opening day as he was completing his final stint in quarantine, but he came back to be most improved as a spin cost him in the race simulation as fellow Australian James Wharton took out the competition.

However, Flack’s overseas open-wheel ambitions aren’t over as he heads to Italy to contest Formula 4, a pathway used b Formula 3 driver Alex Peroni.

“Next year we’re doing Italian Formula 4,” Flack told Auto Action.

“We’ll be moving there next year to live in Desenzano and I’ll be racing with R-Ace GP.”

Flack is excited for the challenge after making his open-wheel race debut in Formula Free during last weekend’s Motorsport Australia Festival.

“It’ll be a big step up,” Flack admitted. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and ready to grab it with both hands.”

His European expedition was not just limited to the Ferrari Academy as Flack completed testing in a Formula 4 car at Snetterton and Brands Hatch’s Indy layout across three-days.
