LUNA FLUXÁ Scores Breakthrough Podium as Three Women Light Up Portimão F4 Grid

February 24, 2026

• LUNA FLUXÁ delivered a statement in her debut weekend, qualifying P12 in her first F4 session before launching from P12 to P10 in Race 1 despite a track limits penalty. The 15-year-old Mercedes-AMG F1 junior then started on pole for the sprint race and held her nerve under immense pressure, battling wheel-to-wheel for the lead before securing second place and her first podium in just her second race.
• ZOE FLORESCU showed impressive recovery skills across the weekend, climbing from P26 starts to consistent points-paying positions. The Romanian driver, contesting just her third F4 weekend, demonstrated mature racecraft in avoiding multiple incidents and charged an incredible 23 positions combined across the races, finishing P13 in the feature race after early setbacks that would have rattled more experienced drivers.
• MARIA GERMANO NETO proved that first-time jitters don’t define you with a superb drive from P28 to P12 in the feature race – one of the most impressive comeback drives of the weekend. The Portuguese rookie, stepping up to F4 machinery for the first time after her groundbreaking karting career, showed she belongs in single-seaters by consistently finding pace and opportunities even when starting from the back of a ultra-competitive 32-car field.
