Milla Sjostrand – Formula 4 Nordic – Padborg Park, Denmark
RACE 1: P10
RACE 2: P13
RACE 3: P10
A fantastic debut in single-seaters for Milla Sjostrand, competing in the Formula 4 Nordic Championship at Padborg in Denmark. The Swedish driver immediately showed she felt comfortable, despite it being her first time. Across the three races, she displayed great speed, allowing her to score her first points.
Milla made an excellent debut, finding the right feeling and speed from the very first sessions. For her, this is just the beginning, and with this pace and determination, new opportunities to prove her worth will soon arrive.

Nilas Malik – DNQ – FIA Karting World Championship – Kristianstad, Sweden – Junior Category
Nilas Malik was the first driver to take to the track in Kristianstad, Sweden, for the FIA Karting World Championship. Despite good race pace and speed, the young driver was unable to qualify for the final. Some penalties compromised his final result, preventing him from advancing into the decisive stages of the weekend.
This closes an important chapter of Nilas’ season, in which he nonetheless gained valuable international experience. All focus now shifts to the upcoming IAME Warrior Final, a key event to relaunch and return to fighting for top positions.

Vanesa Silkunaite – DNQ – FIA Karting World Championship – Kristianstad, Sweden – OK Category
Also on track in Kristianstad for the FIA Karting World Championship was Vanesa Silkunaite, competing in the OK category. The young Lithuanian driver showed great determination and speed, narrowly missing out on Super Heat qualification by just two positions.
Vanesa proved competitive in several heats, showing excellent race pace and the ability to consistently fight at the front. Missing out on the next stage leaves some regret, but at the same time represents an important step in her growth. Thanks to her grit and consistency, Vanesa will surely capitalize on this world-level experience and return to the track even stronger in the upcoming events.

Markas Silkunas – DNQ – FIA Karting World Championship – Kristianstad, Sweden – OK Category
The penultimate agency driver to take to the track in Kristianstad for the FIA Karting World Championship was Markas Silkunas. After a less-than-perfect qualifying, the young Lithuanian driver skillfully recovered positions in the following heats, showing great determination and speed. However, his race ended prematurely in the Super Heat: while battling for a spot in the final, contact with another competitor took him out of contention, putting an end to his comeback.
Despite the bitter ending, Markas once again confirmed his competitiveness even in top-level contexts like the World Championship. The experience gained and the performances displayed are an important building block in his sporting and personal development.

Vladimir Ivannikov – P22 – FIA Karting World Championship – Kristianstad, Sweden – OK Category
The last agency driver in action in Kristianstad was Vladimir Ivannikov. The young talent started the weekend on the right foot, delivering a strong qualifying performance and consistently running in the top ten during the preparatory heats. However, in the final, he was unable to capitalize on his earlier speed, despite having the potential to secure a top-10 finish.
Vladimir still showed speed, determination, and the ability to fight at a high level. While the final result leaves some disappointment, he can take confidence from having made further progress in his development. The goal now is to move forward and turn the Kristianstad experience into positive energy for the future.

Matteo Bergonzini – P3 Class – Italian GT Endurance Championship – Mugello, Italy
The last race of the year for Matteo Bergonzini took place at Mugello in the final round of the Italian GT Endurance Championship. The Italian driver had a strong weekend, always running within the top five. A solid qualifying earned him P3 on the grid and, thanks to consistent and fast stints, he secured a valuable podium finish despite a few difficulties.
With this result, Matteo closes the championship fourth overall, just shy of the podium. Despite the final standings, the season balance is highly positive: Bergonzini showed speed, consistency, and reliability, confirming himself as a leading contender in the category and laying important foundations for next season.
