Matteo Nannini joins Spanish F4 for the inaugural round at Navarra on April 4th. Xcel Motorsport will be fielding the Italian driver, following their success in the UAE F4 championship three weeks ago.
Although Nannini did not confirm his presence in the next rounds of the category, he appears rather committed to do well in this supposedly one-off race Spain. In fact, his main focus is now on the Italian F4 championship, where he will be making his debut with Bhaitech Racing as a result of an intense year of preparation in their academy.
However, Xcel team principal Kevin Day rewarded the Italian with this call-up, which means one more race in the bag for the young rookie. The aim of the UAE F4 championship was indeed to become more experienced on a single-seater championship ahead of his debut in the Italian F4, whose level is very high. Therefore, one more race in a competitive series as the one is Spain is an additional golden opportunity for the Forlì-based talent.
A delighted Nannini commented: "I feel honoured to have been called up by Kevin Day to participate in the first round of the Spanish F4 championship. This means that I impressed him in the United Arab Emirates. Luca Baldisserri will be following me as always. This race will be a great challenge for me and I will take it very seriously. I will give my all to achieve the best result possible here."
The Italian is currently in Austria with Bhaitech Racing, as he is about to hit the track for a two-day collective test session for the Italian series. Nannini stood out in the previous collective test at Mugello, as he closed in P2, just one tenth off Ferrari Driver Academy's Gianluca Petecof, the 2019 favourite for the title.
