F4 Australia to Malaysia, can Piszcyk win it all?
The inaugural F4 Australian Championship will conclude on a big stage in Malaysia where some internationals aim to stop James Piszcyk from taking a clean sweep.
The fourth and final round of the F4 Australian Championship heads to the home of the Malaysian Grand Prix, Sepang.
After trips to The Bend and Sydney Motorsport Park, it will be a new challenge taking on the circuit the likes of Michael Schumacher, Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi have excelled at.
One driver that has been leaps and bounds ahead of the rest is AGI Sport’s Piszcyk.
Amazingly he has taken pole position, set the fastest lap and collected victory in all nine races so far.
Piszcyk will be determined to complete the set in Sepang and cap off a simply unbelievable run of dominance.
Thanks to the #93 flying into the distance, Piszyck enjoys a commanding 80-point lead over AGI Sport teammate Nicolas Stati.
Stati is safe in second thanks to a strong run of podiums having not missed a rostrum across the last eight races with the season opener the only exception.
The big question will be whether or not Sebastien Amadio can stop Seth Gilmore from making it an AGI Sport 1-2-3.
Amadio is currently the odd one out with the JAM Motorsport driver third, 12 points ahead of Gilmore.
The 11-car field has been boosted by the addition of Australian international team Evans GP, which have brought an international flavour.
In addition to Aussie Cooper Webster, who will enjoy some racing after a sadly quiet 2024, Great Britain’s Kai Daryanani and Macau’s Tiago Rodrigues are part of the three-car squad for the finale.
Two-time China F4 champions BlackArts Racing Team has also added some newcomers in the form of Indian Arjun Chheda and Philippines’ Inigo Anton.
Season-long Aussies such as Imogen Radburn and Costa Toparis are also making the trip to Malaysia.
“We are thrilled to have Round 4 of Formula 4 Australia at the iconic FIA Grade 1 track, Sepang International Circuit,” said Top Speed General Manager Davide de Gobbi.
“It will be the first time many Australian drivers have raced around the facilities.
“We are also happy to welcome some new faces to join our series regulars, and look forward to all of the on track action!
“Many thanks to our teams, drivers, partners and sponsors for their continued support.”
