GRRL! SUMMARY:

RAFAELA FERREIRA announced her return to Brazilian F4 in style, topping Friday’s free practice at Interlagos by a commanding 0.342 seconds over teammate Alceu Feldmann Neto. The Cavaleiro Sports driver immediately showed she meant business, setting a pace that put the entire field on notice.
The weekend took a frustrating turn as qualifying conditions shifted against FERREIRA, relegating her to the back of the grid alongside Alexandre Louza. Track conditions and timing conspired to bury the pace-setter, showing how quickly fortunes can change in motorsport.
Drama struck mid-race Saturday when contact between other drivers sent FERREIRA into the barriers, damaging her front wing and ending any hopes of recovering from her poor qualifying position. She bounced back to finish ninth in race two and eighth in the finale, proving her resilience despite the setbacks that defined her weekend.
