Zack Zhu – DNQ
Italian ACI Karting Championship, Sarno (Italy)
Zack Zhu’s weekend in the Italian Championship at Sarno was far from lucky. Despite a promising start, some unfavorable situations prevented the young Frenchman from reaching the finals.
Lately, Zack has been facing a series of difficulties, often due to unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstances. However, the talent of the French driver has never been in doubt, and this weekend he once again showed his speed and determination. Now more than ever, it’s time to keep pushing and not give up. We are confident that important results will come soon and Zack will be ready to fight for the positions he deserves.
Daniele Schillaci – P16
Italian ACI Karting Championship, Sarno (Italy)
Daniele Schillaci’s weekend at Sarno in the Italian Championship was full of challenges. The young Italian driver gave his best in every session, securing a P7 in one of the heats—a solid performance that demonstrated his speed and determination. However, during the pre-final, contact with a rival while running in P6— which would have certainly given him a good starting position for the final—compromised his race.
Daniele’s attitude throughout the weekend was exemplary. He always fought to the best of his abilities, trying to adapt to the situation and find the right rhythm to achieve a positive result. Despite the difficulties, the young driver demonstrated great team spirit and a winning mentality. Daniele must continue down this path without losing his determination. With his talent and the grit he has shown, we are sure he will soon enjoy some well-deserved success.
Julia Angelard
Polish Kart Championship, Poznan (Poland)
RACE 1: P14/Out
RACE 2: P5
RACE 3: P4
RACE 4: P15/Out
Julia faced a challenging weekend in the Polish Championship in Poznan, showing extraordinary speed in all sessions. The young driver was consistently competitive, setting the second-fastest qualifying time, just eight hundredths behind the pole sitter. She then secured a P5 in Race 2 and a P4 in Race 3—two very significant results that highlight her growth and potential.
Julia fought like a true "lioness" in all races, showing her talent and determination. Despite her young age, she demonstrated impressive maturity on track and was competitive against high-level rivals. Her development journey is still long, but we are confident that the results Julia is aiming for will arrive soon. If she continues on this path, she will surely achieve important milestones in the future.
Maya Weug
F1 Academy, Montreal (Canada)
RACE 1: P18/Out
RACE 2: P9
RACE 3: P6
During the F1 Academy weekend in Montreal, Maya faced a difficult start due to a technical issue that prevented her from performing at her best in the initial sessions. Despite the obstacles, the young Dutch driver kept fighting and tried to recover, ending the first two races with results below her expectations. In Race 3, despite multiple Safety Car interruptions that repeatedly broke the race rhythm, Maya showed great tenacity, pulling off an impressive comeback that could have been even more significant without the interruptions.
The Montreal weekend highlighted the young Dutch driver’s maturity, as she maintained impeccable focus despite the challenges, proving she is ready to fight until the end. Even though she lost the championship lead, Maya has renewed her commitment to the season and is preparing to give her all at her home race, aiming to regain positions and battle for the title down to the final corner.
