FINALE DI STAGIONE A MONZA PER NICHOLAS PUJATTI

/in /by

La Porsche Carrera Cup Italia chiude la stagione a Monza, ultimo round stagionale per Nicholas Pujatti.

L’Autodromo Nazionale Monza sarà la cornice perfetta per concludere il 2025 del monomarca Porsche, ultimo round dove Pujatti punterà come sempre al miglior risultato.

Il penultimo appuntamento di Misano non ha del tutto sorriso al pilota del team TDE, un po’ di sfortuna che, ad ogni modo, non ha oscurato il grande potenziale espresso da Nicholas, specie nella rimonta verso la Top Ten in Gara 1, tra sorpassi e ritmo gara solido.

Dopo i test ufficiali di aprile, proprio a Monza, quest’ultimo round stagionale rappresenta anche l’ultimo tassello di un 2025 in crescita che il numero #46 vorrà chiudere nel miglior dei modi, partendo dalle qualifiche più che mai importanti.

Il programma partirà da venerdì 24 ottobre con le prove libere alle ore 15.25. Sessione seguita sabato 25 dalle qualifiche alle ore 10.00 e da Gara 1 ore 15.10 (28min + 1 giro). Gara 2, domenica 26 ottobre, chiuderà la stagione alle ore 12.30.

NICHOLAS PUJATTI IN RIMONTA NEL PENULTIMO ROUND PCCI A MISANO

/in /by

Fine settimana tra rimonte e sorpassi per Nicholas Pujatti, impegnato al Misano World Circuit per il penultimo round PCCI.

Il numero #46 del team TDE – The Driving Experiences ha mandato in archivio anche il penultimo fine settimana in calendario della Porsche Carrera Cup Italia. Weekend di gara al Misano World Circuit fatto di rimonte e buone progressioni in entrambe le gare.

Dopo le prove libere, in qualifica Nicholas ha dovuto fare i conti con una sessione caotica e un giro non del tutto pulito ma ad ogni modo consapevole delle potenzialità per tornare davanti. Compito difficile ma portato a termine già in Gara 1 con la splendida rimonta conclusa in P12, gestendo la gara. Purtroppo, una penalità per track limits, proprio durante la bagarre, ha poi costretto Pujatti alla P18.

Discorso diverso in Gara 2 dove il pilota italiano, ancora una volta, ha affrontato le fasi di gara restando fuori dai guai e da contatti inevitabili sul layout di Misano. P17 alla fine e in progressione.

Nicholas Pujatti ringrazia tutto il team, gli sponsor e ovviamente la propria famiglia. Tra una settimana l’atto finale della stagione 2025 sull’Autodromo di Monza dal 24 al 26 ottobre.

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

A weekend of racing action unfolded at the Misano circuit, where two Minardi Management drivers — Nicholas Pujatti and Luka Sammalisto — took to the track. The Italian driver gave his all despite some adversity in the penultimate round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia, while the Finnish talent wrapped up his Formula 4 Italy season with two podium finishes.

Nicholas Pujatti – Porsche Carrera Cup Italia, Misano (Italy)
RACE 1: P19
RACE 2: P17

The Porsche Carrera Cup Italia returned to action for its penultimate round of the season at Misano, with our Nicholas Pujatti at the center of an intense and challenging weekend. Qualifying proved tougher than expected, preventing Nicholas from securing a favorable starting position. In Race 1, the young Italian showed great race pace and determination, climbing up to P12. However, a track limits penalty dropped him back to P19. In Race 2, a problem at the start forced him to begin from the back, but Nicholas didn’t give up — lap after lap, he recovered several positions, crossing the line in P17.
A complex yet positive weekend for Pujatti, who once again demonstrated speed, character, and impressive overtaking ability. The focus now shifts to the final round at Monza, scheduled for the last week of October, with the goal of finishing the season on a high note.

Luka Sammalisto – Formula 4 Italy, Misano (Italy)
RACE 1: P4
RACE 2: P3
RACE 3: P3

The final round of the Italian Formula 4 Championship took place at Misano, with Luka Sammalisto delivering a weekend to remember. The young Finnish driver showed excellent form right from free practice, setting several benchmark times. In qualifying, he narrowly missed out on pole position by just a few thousandths of a second but still secured a strong P3 on the grid. Across the three races of the weekend, Luka confirmed both his speed and consistency, finishing fourth in Race 1, third in Race 2, and once again on the podium in Race 3 — rounding off an extremely positive weekend.
Thanks to these strong results, Sammalisto ends his Formula 4 Italy season in the best possible way, showcasing steady growth and significant progress in competitiveness. Now it’s time to recharge ahead of 2026, with the goal of returning to the track even stronger and more determined.

LUKA SAMMALISTO ON THE PODIUM TWICE IN THE ITALIAN FORMULA 4 FINAL WEEKEND!

/in /by

Luka Sammalisto ended the Italian Formula 4 season strongly in Misano. The youngster finished 4th, 3rd and 3rd in the three races over the weekend, climbing onto the podium twice.

The final weekend of the Italian Formula 4 season offered speed and excitement. On Friday, Sammalisto showed his potential by clocking the fastest time in both free practice sessions.
– The race week started with good preparation at Formula Medicin, and the feeling was immediately good. The team did a great job, and the car worked well from the start, says Luka.

The top speed did not quite materialize in qualifying, but Sammalisto was at his best in the races. In the first race, he made his way up towards the front by setting the fastest lap of the race and finishing fourth. In the second race, the Finnish driver battled in the leading group throughout the race and moved up to third place in the final moments. In Sunday’s final, he crowned the weekend with another podium finish – third place from fifth on the grid was a strong end to the season.
– In the first race, I had to fight a bit at the start because the tires didn’t work right away. But the pace was really good throughout the weekend, and with two podium finishes, I have to be satisfied, Sammalisto smiles.

At the end of the season, Sammalisto finished eighth in the overall Italian Formula 4 standings.
– The ranking doesn’t reflect our pace or potential. This season had too much bad luck and technical problems, but I learned a lot. The collaboration with US Racing worked excellently, and I developed a lot as a driver under their guidance,” Luka says gratefully.

His eyes are already firmly fixed on the future.
– Now we’re going to take a short break and focus on next season. Good things are coming – and my hunger for success is stronger than ever,” Sammalisto concludes.

MCLAREN CROWNED CONSTRUCTORS’ CHAMPION, RUSSELL TRIUMPHS IN SINGAPORE

/in /by

McLaren seals the 2025 Constructors’ Championship, but it’s Mercedes and George Russell who steal the spotlight in Singapore. The Brit dominated the weekend, securing his fifth career victory. Verstappen finished second, clawing back some points on the two McLaren drivers, while Lando Norris completed the podium ahead of his teammate. A disappointing weekend for Ferrari, plagued by both poor performance and reliability issues. Meanwhile, Alonso, Bearman, and Sainz all managed to score points once again

GIOVANNI’S COMMENT
The 18th round of the F1 World Championship delivered yet another dull race, with little action apart from the opening laps, where Norris and Piastri finally decided to fight like two drivers battling for the title. After that, the race settled into the usual monotony, with teams sticking to conservative strategies and tyre management once again dominating the narrative.

McLaren may have won the Constructors’ title, but the team disappointed in Singapore. The two drivers made contact at the start, with Norris coming off worse. Despite that, he managed to stay ahead of his teammate for the entire Grand Prix, recovering some valuable points in the Drivers’ standings. Piastri, shaken by the early incident, opted for a cautious approach, bringing the car home safely.

The weekend, however, belonged to Mercedes and George Russell. Car number 63 delivered a stunning pole position on Saturday and followed it up with a masterclass victory on Sunday. His teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli also scored solid points, finishing just behind the top four.

Verstappen once again outperformed the capabilities of his car, securing second place and fending off Norris’s attacks. He gained a few more points, though the championship fight remains extremely difficult. Tsunoda had another anonymous outing.

Ferrari showed promise on Friday only to disappoint again on race day. Leclerc expressed frustration with the team and endured another lackluster performance. Hamilton fought with Antonelli but later received a track limits penalty after brake issues hampered his pace.

Aston Martin continued its up-and-down season. The team found some form in Singapore, but only through Alonso, who fought like a lion to claim crucial points for the Constructors’ standings. Stroll, meanwhile, was again nowhere to be seen.

A strong weekend for Haas, with Ollie Bearman scoring two valuable points. The British rookie continues to impress, consistently outperforming more experienced drivers like Ocon. Another great drive came from Williams’ Carlos Sainz, who, after being disqualified from Saturday’s session, started from the back and charged into the points. His teammate, however, disappointed once again, making headlines only for a huge lock-up that nearly took out a Sauber.

The Swiss team struggled in Singapore. Hülkenberg, after his Silverstone podium, finished once again out of the points, dropping from P11 to last. Bortoleto also struggled and failed to make an impact.

Alpine’s disastrous season continues, with another slow and disappointing performance.

Lastly, Racing Bulls came close to the points: Hadjar was narrowly beaten by a flying Sainz, while Lawson, hampered by a poor strategy, lost a potential top-10 finish after running between eighth and ninth for much of the race.

MAYA WEUG SHINES IN SINGAPORE, WINS AND KEEPS THE TITLE FIGHT ALIVE

/in /by

Maya Weug – F1 Academy, Singapore

RACE 1: P2
RACE 2: P1

A standout weekend for Maya Weug on the streets of Singapore, where the Dutch driver showcased all her talent and determination by claiming pole position, second place, and a race victory across the two races of the weekend.

Friday began in the best possible way, with Maya delivering a perfect qualifying lap to secure pole position. In Race 1, contested with a reversed grid, she started from eighth place, but thanks to a brilliant start and decisive overtakes in the midfield battles, she fought her way up to second, despite several interruptions caused by the Safety Car.

In Sunday’s race, Maya started from pole once again. A tricky start initially put her under pressure, but as rain began to fall, she seized the opportunity, pulling off a spectacular last-lap overtake to take a crucial victory in her championship campaign.

Thanks to her excellent performance in Singapore, Maya keept her championship hopes alive, narrowing the gap to series leader Doriane Pin to just nine points. Everything will come down to the final round in Las Vegas, where Maya will be determined to fight until the very end for the title.

JULIA ANGELARD NARROWLY MISSES THE FIA KARTING WORLD CUP FINAL

/in /by
  • The FIA ​​Karting World Cup competition that ended last weekend was a successful debut for Julia Angelard in her new team colours.
  • The Ward Racing rider was one of three Polish representatives competing in the OK-N Junior category and narrowly missed out on a place in the finals.
  • Despite considerable bad luck in the qualifying heats, Julia Angelard is happy with her result and is optimistic about the next races in the yellow and black suit.

The FIA ​​Karting World Cup, which concluded last weekend, brought plenty of excitement, including for the Polish competitors. Julia Angelard, one of three Polish drivers competing in the OK-N Junior category, made her first appearance in the new team colors of the Swedish Ward Racing team. The teenage Polish driver successfully demonstrated solid pace, but bad luck in the qualifying heats meant she narrowly missed out on the final race.

Good pace and unlucky heats
During the first training session, Julia Angelard achieved a strong result in her group, placing her seventh out of 27 competitors. Eleventh place in her group during the qualifying session was also a positive, considering the competitive, strong field, largely composed of the best competitors from the national championships. Unfortunately, difficulties arose during the individual heats.

Although Julia finished 11th in the first heat, she dropped to 16th in the second. Unfortunately, during the third heat, the Polish rider was involved in a collision, losing a chance to earn valuable points. Tenth place in the penultimate heat gave hope for a coveted final in her debut competition with the new team. Unfortunately, three laps before the end of the final heat, the 13-year-old Pole was carried off the track by another rider, again failing to reach the finish line – which unfortunately proved crucial in the fight for the final.

In Sunday’s Super Heat A, Julia started 25th and climbed to a respectable 12th place, unlike her rivals, avoiding mistakes and capitalizing on theirs. However, as it turned out, after both Super Heats, Julia Angelard was 38th in the provisional overall standings, with the top 36 drivers advancing to the finals. She missed out on just a few points, which were within reach in both unlucky heats.

Julia Angelard: a truly successful
“Making it to the finals in my first event with a new team, in a new kart, is a truly successful debut. It’s a shame about the unsuccessful heats, because the FIA ​​Karting World Cup final is a race everyone would love to participate in, but I’m happy that I managed to find my pace and flow quite quickly, both on the track and in my relationship with the new team. I hope things will continue to improve in both cases,” admits Julia Angelard.

Final race of the year for Grabko in the Nordic Aquila Formula 1000 Series. Pujatti returns to action at Imola in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. Intense battles also in the FIA Karting World Championship, with several drivers competing.

Tariq Soofi – Sakhir Rotax Max Challenge, Bahrain – Mini Category
RACE 1: P3
RACE 2: P7
A positive weekend for Tariq Soofi, back in action in Bahrain for another challenge in the Rotax Max Challenge. The young driver immediately showed great pace, remaining consistent and competitive in the top positions throughout the weekend.
In Race 1, Tariq impressed with brilliant overtakes and duels, securing a well-deserved podium. In Saturday’s race, starting from pole position, he faced an intense battle: after dropping to fifth, he managed to climb back to third. However, a penalty relegated him to seventh place.
Despite the setback, Tariq once again demonstrated his strong potential, competing on equal terms with older and more experienced rivals. His performance in Bahrain raises expectations for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, also held at the Bahrain circuit, where Tariq will aim for a standout result.

Deven Grabko – Nordic Aquila Formula 1000 Series, Falkenberg (Sweden)
RACE 1: DNF
RACE 2: P14
RACE 3: P14

Final round of the season for Deven Grabko, competing at Falkenberg in the Nordic Aquila Formula 1000 championship. The Swedish driver had a challenging weekend, starting with a difficult qualifying session that left him 16th on the grid, hindered by multiple red flags and interruptions.
In Race 1, after a promising start, Deven was forced to retire due to a technical issue. In Races 2 and 3, starting mid-pack, he fought back to finish 14th in both heats, showing determination and good race management.
This event closes Grabko’s rookie season in the series – a year marked by some unlucky episodes but also constant growth and competitive pace, impressive for a first campaign in the championship.

Nicholas Pujatti – Porsche Carrera Cup Italy, Imola (Italy)
RACE 1: DNF
RACE 2: P9

An intense weekend for Nicholas Pujatti, racing at Imola in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. In qualifying, the team opted for a bold strategy to attack the top spots, but it didn’t pay off, forcing him to start from the back of the grid. In Race 1, Nicholas was caught in a contact that put him out of contention. Despite shoulder pain from the incident, in Race 2 he gritted his teeth and unleashed all his talent: starting P19, he produced a spectacular comeback to finish ninth.
A strong ending that once again confirms Pujatti’s speed and resilience, proving his ability to fight back with determination after a tough start to the weekend.

Zack Zhu – DNF – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKNJ Category
First of the drivers to hit the track in the FIA Karting World Cup at Cremona, Zack Zhu endured a difficult weekend due to changing weather. After a promising start on dry conditions, rain disrupted the proceedings. Starting from the back in the final, Zack had no real chance to fight for his usual positions.
Nevertheless, the young French driver displayed speed and determination, highlighting both his potential and areas to improve, particularly in consistency. His first World Cup appearance provided valuable experience to build on for future challenges.

Julia Angelard – DNQ – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKNJ Category
The second Junior driver competing at the FIA Karting World Cup in Cremona, Julia Angelard faced her first test against world-class competition, also marking her debut with her new team. The weekend saw mixed performances, but the young Polish driver showed speed, determination, and mental strength. She missed the final by just two positions, narrowly missing what would have been a major achievement.
Despite the disappointment, the outcome is positive: this world event is a key milestone in Julia’s growth, offering experience and motivation to aim for strong results next season.

Benjamin Westwood – DNF – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKNJ Category
Among the Junior competitors in Cremona, Benjamin Westwood had a weekend of ups and downs. After a strong showing on Friday and Saturday, including progress in wet conditions, Sunday proved more difficult. Involved in two incidents during the Super Heat and final, Benjamin couldn’t capitalize on his earlier pace.
Despite the frustrating end, the overall balance is positive: Benjamin showed clear growth compared to previous events, both in speed and racecraft. With his maturity and progress, he can look forward with confidence to future goals.

Jason Kosmopoulos – DNF – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKNJ Category
A prestigious return to racing for Jason at the FIA Karting World Cup, where he impressed with speed, consistency, and strength. He achieved access to the final, a significant result at this level. Unfortunately, a contact in the last session forced him to retire.
Nonetheless, his performances confirm Jason’s talent and potential, giving him a strong foundation to build upon. The result at Cremona is an important step forward as he now looks ahead to the WSK Final Cup and prepares for the 2026 season with growing ambitions.

Nefeli Kosmopoulos – DNQ – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKNJ Category
A demanding weekend for Nefeli, returning to action at the FIA Karting World Cup in Cremona after only three races this season. The lack of race preparation compared to her rivals made it tough, but she tackled the challenge with grit and determination, improving steadily session after session.
Although she didn’t achieve a standout result in the standings, the event was a crucial step in her development. Nefeli made important progress in pace and confidence, despite limited racing this year. She now turns her focus to preparing for the WSK Final Cup, a key opportunity to continue her growth.

Daniele Schillaci – DNQ – FIA World Cup, Cremona (Italy), OKN Category
The only driver of the agency competing in the OKN category at Cremona, Daniele Schillaci had a mixed weekend. After a strong Thursday and positive free practice sessions, Saturday proved difficult, with uncertain weather affecting qualifying. The heats then made recovery difficult, preventing him from reaching the final despite showing solid pace early in the event.
A disappointing result, but still an important step in Schillaci’s career: he will take lessons from this world experience to face future challenges with greater confidence.

NICHOLAS PUJATTI CHIUDE IN TOP TEN IL WEEKEND PORSCHE CARRERA CUP ITALIA A IMOLA

/in /by

Fine settimana impegnativo a Imola per Nicholas Pujatti, concluso in positivo con una top ten in rimonta al termine di Gara 2.

Correre a Imola è sempre qualcosa di emozionante e il round Porsche Carrera Cup Italia lo ha confermato ancora una volta. Dopo le sessioni di prove libere e test, il pilota TDE – The Driving Experiences ha affrontato, come sempre, il weekend di gara con determinazione.

Qualifica non facile da gestire ma propositiva, conclusa con la P17 per Nicholas Pujatti, non distante dalla top ten della categoria. La prima delle due gare in programma sul circuito del Santerno, purtroppo, non ha sorriso al pilota numero #46, costretto al ritiro dopo un incidente di gara senza conseguenze.

Reset rapido che, nella giornata di domenica, ha permesso a Nicholas di tornare in pista ancor più determinato. Anche in questo caso, gli episodi durante i trenta minuti di gara, hanno tenuto altissima l’attenzione di Pujatti, bravo a evitare tutti i contatti di gara davanti a lui, gestire la Safety Car e chiudere in nona posizione. Piazzamento che ripaga degli sforzi del fine settimana e conferma l’ottimo potenziale dimostrato fin dal principio.

Nicholas Pujatti ringrazia tutto il proprio team, gli sponsor e ovviamente la propria famiglia. Prossimo appuntamento, penultimo della stagione, sul Misano World Circuit dal 10 al 12 ottobre.
