A spectacular fight for the win marked the third and final race of the F4 CEZ weekend at Slovakia Ring. Max Karhan from Jenzer Motorsport beat his teammate, race favorite Oscar Wurz, to score his first-ever victory in the championship.
Michalina Sabaj from AS Motorsport started from pole position alongside Max Karhan. In the second row were Jonathan Correrella from the Gender Racing team and Kirill Kutskov from Maffi Racing.
Karhan had the best start, taking the lead in the first corner ahead of Oscar Wurz, who started from fifth place. However, the yellow flag soon waved around the circuit due to an accident between Teodor Borenstein and Gabriel Holguin. Meanwhile, Correrella was spun around by Michelle Jandová, leading to a safety car deployment and then a red flag.
The order was Karhan, Wurz, Kutskov, Mikeš, Jandová, Olkucka, Sabaj, Correrella, and Halatnik.
After the race restart, Wurz took the lead in the first turn, with Karhan dropping to second. Mikeš also passed Kutskov, but in the next lap, he lost control and went off the track. Kutskov then came under pressure from Correrella, who passed him on the sixth lap.
Meanwhile, Karhan was pushing leader Wurz. The two were battling for the lead. They drove side by side in several turns and were soon joined by Correrella. The three fought fairly for the rest of the race. Although Wurz managed to keep his position for most of that time, Karhan made a winning move in the closing stage of the race, took first place and then effectively defended his position. Karhan eventually built a small gap, as Wurz was busy defending his second place from Correrella.
The final F4 CEZ race at Slovakia Ring belonged to Max Karhan, with Wurz finishing second and Correrella third. Kirill Kutskov finished fourth, and Michalina Sabaj, who started from pole position, came in fifth. Miroslav Mikeš from JMT Engineering finished sixth after his trip to the gravel, Franciszek Halatnik from Orlen Janík Motorsport was seventh, Kornelia Olkucka from Maffi Racing was eighth and Michelle Jandová was classified ninth, two laps down due to a spin in the last turn with two laps to go.
