It was a dramatic first visit of 2024 to the Dubai Autodrome for the Formula 4 UAE Championship Certified by FIA (F4 UAE). Two race victories for Nikita Bedrin have propelled the PHM AIX Racing driver firmly into the championship hunt, in which Mumbai Falcons Racing’s Freddie Slater continues to narrowly lead. After a superb weekend that also included two pole positions, Bedrin is one of four drivers at the top of the table covered by 22 points – 25 are on offer for a race win – with two events comprising six races still to come.

Freddie Slater tops the Formula 4 United Arab Emirates Championship (F4UAE) standings as the series returns at Dubai Autodrome on February 2-4 following a weekend off since the opening two events at Yas Marina. The 15-year-old English talent, representing Mumbai Falcons Racing, is 23 points clear prior to the final nine races over three weekends.
