The chain of young drivers coming from the CRG training camp who are entering motorsport is enriched with a new name, the one of Mattia Colnaghi. After many big names of the past, including Hamilton, Verstappen and Hulkenberg, as well Gabriel Bortoleto, the new FIA F3 Champion, who recently joined the McLaren Academy or Dennis Hauger, protagonist of the FIA F2 Championship, a new potential protagonist of tomorrow’s motor racing who comes from what can be considered in all respects a full-fledged school for young karting drivers.

After a successful and promising first season in single-seaters in 2022, marked by three 5th places in Formula 4 in the Italian, German and UAE championships, James Wharton has just started a second season of F4 racing that will be very important for the future of his career. A Ferrari Driver Academy driver, supported by All Road Management, Motorsport Australia and racing with the Mumbai Falcons Racing team, the 16-year-old Australian was in Dubai from 9th to 14th January for the first of five FIA-certified UAE F4 events. A podium finish has already rewarded his high level of performance.

At the 2021 FIA Karting European Championship in OK, James Wharton is, without doubt, one of the drivers who has gained the most places during his fabulous progressions. While he would have liked to have achieved a more flattering result in the overall standings, the young Australian could have been awarded the title of "king of starts" and the prize for fighting spirit. His performance in Spain at the Zuera circuit in the fourth and final round of the Championship confirmed the tenacity and strength of character of the Ferrari Driver Academy member.

The 2021 FIA Karting European Championship in the OK category is about to come to an end from 23rd to 25th July in Zuera, Spain. The organisation of a major international event on this same circuit, just one week before, represented a full-scale rehearsal that should not be missed.

Two weeks after his performance in KZ2 at the WSK Euro Series, James Wharton returned to the Lonato circuit, as well as to his OK kart, in order to prepare for the upcoming European events. The last round of the WSK Super Master Series allowed the Australian to demonstrate his fighting spirit in a difficult context and his 24-place improvement from Qualifying to the Final did not go unnoticed.
