Elia Weiss strengthened his position at the top of the 2026 F4 Central European Zone Championship (CEZ) after winning two of his three races during the penultimate round at Autodrom Brno, increasing his advantage before October’s Hungaroring finale.

The Jenzer Motorsport driver arrived in the Czech Republic 14 points ahead of David Walther after his three-win weekend at Autodrom Most. However, the F4 CEZ title fight heading to Brno remained wide open, with Teo Borenstein another 10 points behind Walther and Max Karhan only 45 away from Weiss.

Weiss won the opening Group A+B race before finishing second to Georgiy Zasov in Race 3 and returning to the top step in the full-field finale. Borenstein provided another Jenzer victory by defeating Karhan in Race 2, while Zasov converted his breakthrough Qualifying performance into a maiden F4 CEZ race win on Sunday morning.

The results leave Weiss on 299 points, 42 ahead of Borenstein, who has moved into second. Karhan sits third on 240, with Walther dropping from second to fourth on 237 after failing to start the final race. All four remain mathematically in contention for the Drivers’ Championship heading to the Hungaroring.

Silkunas leads wet F4 CEZ Free Practice at Brno

Round 5 began in difficult conditions as rain covered Autodrom Brno for Friday’s two split Free Practice sessions. The track evolved considerably between the groups, allowing the second session to produce the quickest times of the day. The wet opening practice sessions featured 18 drivers in Heat 1 and 17 in Heat 2.

STEP Motorsport’s Knud Eske Nielsen topped the opening session with a 2:15.003, beating championship leader Weiss by 0.095 seconds. Borenstein followed in third ahead of Aleksandar Bogunovic and Viktor Snebjørn Poulsen, while the session was interrupted by multiple red flags.

Conditions improved before Heat 2, and Markas Silkunas immediately lowered the benchmark. The Jenzer Motorsport driver set a 2:13.035 to beat Karhan by 0.063 seconds, with Zasov completing a Jenzer top three in the session. Silkunas therefore emerged as the fastest driver overall, with the three quickest times all coming from Heat 2.

2026 F4 CEZ Autodrom Brno Qualifying: Zasov takes maiden overall top spot

The rain remained for Qualifying, ensuring both groups faced another demanding session. Borenstein led the first heat with a 2:14.514, finishing 0.370 seconds ahead of Weiss, while STEP Motorsport enjoyed a strong session through Erik Poulsen, Viktor Snebjørn Poulsen and Nielsen.

However, Zasov emerged with his maiden F4 CEZ Qualifying victory in Heat 2. The Jenzer driver produced a 2:14.349 to beat teammate Silkunas by 0.308 seconds and Karhan by 0.407. Paatz and Simeonova followed in fourth and fifth, giving Mathilda Racing two cars near the front of the second group.

Zasov’s lap was 0.165 seconds quicker than Borenstein’s Heat 1 benchmark, making him the fastest driver across the combined sessions. The results were then used to form the three groups for the opening races, with each driver participating in two of the first three contests before the leading competitors progressed to the finale.

Zasov and Olert each lost laps for track-limit infringements during the second heat, but Zasov’s 2:14.349 remained sufficient to secure the overall fastest time.

2026 F4 CEZ Autodrom Brno Race 1: Weiss charges from third to victory

Zasov started the opening Group A+B race from pole alongside Borenstein, while Weiss and Karhan occupied the second row. The first two rows were therefore entirely filled by Jenzer cars, with Paatz and Bogunovic immediately behind them.

Weiss made the decisive progress immediately. The field negotiated Turn 1 cleanly before the fight continued through the following sequence, where Weiss emerged in the lead and Karhan climbed from fourth to second. Contact between Zasov and Borenstein sent the latter tumbling down the order, while Paatz moved into third.

Coppola then became stranded in the gravel later on the opening lap, prompting the first Safety Car. Weiss controlled the restart and began opening a gap, while Paatz pressured Karhan and Rechenmacher began a rapid recovery from 14th.

Rechenmacher climbed to fifth before passing Zasov for fourth. Another Safety Car followed when contact between Gaspar and Viktor Snebjørn Poulsen sent the STEP Motorsport driver into the gravel. Once racing resumed, Rechenmacher passed Paatz for third, but Weiss and Karhan remained beyond reach.

Weiss crossed the line 0.977 seconds ahead of Karhan, with Rechenmacher completing an impressive recovery to third. Paatz finished fourth ahead of Zasov and Bogunovic, while Borenstein recovered to ninth after his first-lap setback.

Gaspar crossed the line eighth but received a five-second penalty for his contact with Poulsen, dropping him to 15th in the final classification. Weiss also recorded the fastest lap with a 1:57.989.

2026 F4 CEZ Autodrom Brno Race 2: Borenstein wins on home soil

Borenstein returned to the front for the Group B+C contest, starting from pole alongside Silkunas. Karhan and Erik Poulsen occupied the second row, while Bogunovic and Simeonova shared the third. Borenstein’s home victory came after a close fight with Karhan.

Borenstein retained first at the start, while Karhan climbed into second and immediately began pressuring his fellow Czech driver. Bogunovic initially occupied third, with Silkunas behind, as the leading pair started to establish a small advantage.

Karhan remained within approximately half a second for much of the race but could not force Borenstein into a mistake. Silkunas eventually secured third to complete a Jenzer Motorsport sweep of the podium, while Bogunovic took fourth.

Rechenmacher produced another recovery drive after starting 13th and crossed the line fifth, ahead of Walther. However, the final amended classification changed that order when Rechenmacher received a five-second penalty. Walther was therefore promoted to fifth, Errigo to sixth and Rechenmacher dropped to seventh. Dyrved and Kocsis also received five-second penalties.

Borenstein won by 0.459 seconds over Karhan and also set the fastest lap with a 1:58.474.

2026 F4 CEZ Autodrom Brno Race 3: Zasov claims maiden victory under Weiss pressure

Zasov returned to pole for Sunday morning’s Group A+C race alongside Silkunas. Weiss and Erik Poulsen shared row two, while Paatz and Simeonova started immediately behind them.

The pole-sitter retained first at the start, but Weiss quickly climbed from third to second ahead of Silkunas. Paatz dropped down the order after contact with Poulsen at the opening corner, while Zasov immediately came under pressure from the championship leader.

Weiss stayed within half a second and repeatedly searched for an opportunity, particularly through Turns 3 and 4. Zasov defended throughout, with Silkunas remaining close enough to capitalise if either driver made a mistake.

Behind them, Nielsen and Walther pulled away in their fight for fourth, while Gaspar, the two Poul sens, Nilsson and others battled through the midfield. Simeonova eventually retired to the pits after experiencing a problem.

Despite sustained pressure, Zasov held on for his maiden F4 CEZ victory. Weiss made one final attempt on the last lap but finished just 0.310 seconds behind, with Silkunas completing another all-Jenzer podium.

Nielsen finished fourth ahead of Walther, while Gaspar, Erik Poulsen, Coppola, Nilsson and Louza completed the top 10. Weiss recorded the fastest lap with a 1:58.624.

2026 F4 CEZ Autodrom Brno Race 4: Weiss completes double and stretches title lead

Weiss started the full-field finale from pole alongside Karhan, with Zasov and Borenstein sharing row two. Silkunas and Rechenmacher followed on the third row, while Bogunovic and Walther were due to start seventh and eighth.

Weiss retained the lead despite pressure from Karhan into Turn 1. Borenstein quickly attacked his teammate and passed Karhan on the following lap to take second, allowing Weiss to begin controlling the race from the front.

The order behind the leading trio changed as Zasov slipped down to eighth and Rechenmacher moved into fourth. An incident involving Olert and Orcholski then brought out the Safety Car, compressing the field.

Weiss timed the restart cleanly and immediately rebuilt a small advantage. The race became more complicated during its closing minutes when rain began falling across part of the circuit with every driver still on slick tyres. Race Control deployed the Safety Car with two minutes remaining and the contest ended under neutralisation.

Weiss therefore secured his second Brno victory ahead of Borenstein and Karhan, giving Jenzer another complete podium sweep. Rechenmacher took fourth ahead of Nielsen and Silkunas, while Zasov, Bogunovic, Reijs and Erik Poulsen completed the top 10.

The official classification records Walther as one of four drivers who did not start, alongside Polak, Lipovics and Dyrved. His absence proved particularly costly in the championship, while Weiss added another 25 points and set the fastest lap with a 1:58.392.

Weiss extends F4 CEZ championship lead before Hungaroring finale

Weiss arrived at Brno with a 14-point advantage over Walther and leaves with a much more substantial cushion. Victory in Race 1, second in Race 3 and another win in the finale yielded 70 points, increasing his championship total from 229 to 299.

Borenstein made the largest progress among Weiss’ closest challengers. His Race 2 victory, ninth place in Race 1 and second in the finale added 52 points, taking him from 205 to 257 and lifting him from third to second.

Karhan also enjoyed a strong weekend with two second places and third in the finale. His 56-point haul moves him onto 240 and into third, while Walther’s fifth places in Race 2 and Race 3 provided only 22 points before his failure to start the finale. The former championship leader consequently drops from second to fourth on 237.

Weiss therefore leads Borenstein by 42 points, Karhan by 59 and Walther by 62. With a maximum 75 points available to a driver across the final round, all four remain mathematically capable of winning the championship.

Silkunas moves ahead of Rechenmacher by a single point in the battle for fifth, while Bogunovic and Zasov are tied on 132. Zasov’s maiden victory helped him close a 14-point pre-Brno deficit to his rival completely. The official provisional standings after Brno contain some duplicated or skipped position numbers, so the order below follows the published row sequence while presenting the drivers consecutively.

Jenzer Motorsport further increases huge Teams’ Championship advantage

Jenzer once again controlled the majority of the weekend, winning all four races through Weiss, Borenstein and Zasov. The Swiss squad also achieved full podium lockouts in Race 2, Race 3 and the final race.

The team added 180 points across Brno, moving from 614 to 794. Cram Motorsport remains second but increases its total to 285, while Maffi Racing falls to third on 255 after a more difficult weekend for Walther and its supporting entries.

Mathilda Racing remains fourth on 175 ahead of Technorace Competition on 154. STEP Motorsport made a substantial gain through Nielsen, Erik Poulsen and Viktor Snebjørn Poulsen and now sits sixth on 149, only five behind Technorace.

Häkkinen extends Woman Trophy lead

The Woman Trophy remains considerably closer. Häkkinen arrived at Brno only seven points ahead of Paatz and leaves with a 15-point advantage despite a relatively quiet weekend in the overall classification.

The Jenzer driver moves from 217 to 275, while Paatz reaches 260 after scoring strongly through fourth in Race 1 and 13th in the finale. Sabaj remains firmly involved on 250 and sits only 25 points behind Häkkinen with the Hungaroring still to come.

Simeonova made the largest Brno gain among the lower-ranked contenders, moving from 29 to 69, although the leading three are now the only drivers within one round’s maximum score of first place.

Silkunas retains Rookie lead as Zasov closes

Silkunas strengthened his Rookie Championship position after adding two podiums and sixth in the final race. His total rises from 193 after Most to 279, giving him a 24-point advantage over Rechenmacher.

Rechenmacher remains firmly involved on 255 after another consistent weekend, while Zasov’s maiden overall victory brought an equally important Rookie score. The Swiss driver increases his tally to 233 and sits 46 points behind Silkunas.

The title fight is therefore down to the leading three heading into Hungary. Häkkinen follows in fourth on 172, while Erik Poulsen is another four points behind.

As with the previous provisional standings sheet, no updated position numbers are assigned alongside the Rookie table. The order below therefore follows the points totals from highest to lowest, using the published row order to separate ties.

Conclusion: Weiss takes 42-point F4 CEZ lead to Hungaroring

Brno strengthened Weiss’ position considerably without ending the championship fight. The German won two races and finished second in his other appearance, increasing a 14-point advantage into a 42-point cushion before the final round.

Borenstein kept himself firmly in contention with a home victory and second place in the finale, while Karhan’s consistent podium finishes moved him into third. Walther experienced the most damaging weekend of the four contenders, falling from second to fourth after collecting only 22 points and failing to start the final race.

Zasov produced the weekend’s breakthrough performance. After setting the quickest overall time in wet Qualifying, he resisted sustained pressure from Weiss in Race 3 to secure his first F4 CEZ victory. Silkunas also continued his strong Rookie campaign through two podium finishes, while Jenzer Motorsport won every race for a second consecutive round.

The 2026 F4 CEZ season will conclude at the Hungaroring from 23–25 October. Weiss will arrive with the advantage, but Borenstein, Karhan and Walther remain mathematically capable of taking the Drivers’ Championship, while the Woman Trophy and Rookie titles also remain undecided.
