(PREMA Racing press office release)

PREMA Racing continued its outstanding 2022 Formula 4 campaign at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend. In round 3 of the Italian Championship, the team delivered three wins, two of which were completed by full podium lockouts. Andrea Kimi Antonelli was the star of the weekend at the Belgian venue, going from pole to win in the opening two races before posting victory number five for the year when team-mate Rafael Camara stalled from pole in race 3.

The Brazilian Ferrari Driver Academy member, who was coming from second place in race 1 and fourth place in race 2, was highly impressive in his recovery, as he sliced through the entire field and eventually nailed the final podium position to retain the overall and rookie championship lead.

Completing the podium in race 1 was the team's other FDA-supported star, James Wharton, but the Australian didn't find his way to the top 3 again. In race 2, he finished in fifth place, before ending up in the barriers in the opening stages of the third one.

Conrad Laursen also found the gravel and celebrated on the podium, in that order. The 16-year-old Dane did a solid job in qualifying, but P8 in race 1 led to an early off in race 2. At his final opportunity for the weekend, he delivered a swift start from P4, moving up to the second spot and managing it to achieve his best result of the year.

With three points finishes, Charlie Wurz stayed in the top-5 in points, not far from the drivers ahead. The Austrian went close to a podium finish twice, showing good potential at the tough Belgian track.

The five PREMA Racing Formula 4 drivers will stay on the road in the coming two weekends. They will move from Spa-Francorchamps to Zandvoort for the third round of the German Formula 4 Championship, before heading to round 4 of the Italian one at Vallelunga.
