From his lightning start, Yas Heat Racing’s Keanu Al Azhari led from every lap to earn the team’s first ever P1 finish in the opening race of the Formula 4 UAE Trophy Round. The young driver also became the first race winner to stand on the top step of the all- new podium at Yas Marina Circuit.
Al Azhari held off Xcel Motorsport’s Federico Al Rifai, who was following closely in a nail-biting race to the finish, and the Yas Heat driver took first race win of his career with the Yas Marina Circuit-based outfit.
Freddie Slater of PREMA Racing rounded out the podium in third place, with the Yas Heat duo of Rashid Al Dhaheri and Hamda Al Qubaisi finishing in fourth and fifth respectively, separated by less than a second, after several exchanges of track position.
The F4 UAE teams will be back in action on Sunday at 11.40am for the final race of the opening Trophy Round to kick off the junior series’ season at Abu Dhabi GP weekend.
