EMMA FELBERMAYR Clinches Season-Best P13 to Cap Off Impressive Rookie F4 Year

November 18, 2025

• EMMA FELBERMAYR capped off her rookie Spanish F4 campaign with a career-best P13 at Circuit de Barcelona, climbing eight positions from her 21st grid spot when qualifying was cancelled. The Austrian showed exactly the kind of racecraft we’ve been watching develop all season, capitalizing on an alternative strategy by other drivers to secure her strongest finish in the series.
• Running a dual program between Spanish F4 and F1 Academy with Rodin Motorsport, FELBERMAYR has quietly built an impressive consistency record – finishing 14 of 15 races before Barcelona and regularly gaining positions from her grid slots. Her race starts have been particularly strong for someone with such limited experience, allowing her to challenge more seasoned competitors throughout the year.
• While Sunday brought frustration with a technical issue preventing her from starting race two and contact dropping her to P30 in the finale, FELBERMAYR’s season tells a different story. Seven top-20 finishes and consistent improvement show this rookie campaign was about building foundations rather than chasing headlines – exactly what we want to see from young drivers learning their craft.
