Jenzer Motorsport has secured its fourth consecutive Formula 4 Central European Zone (F4 CEZ) Teams’ Championship, extending its unbeaten title record since the series’ introduction in 2023. However, the battle for the remaining championship positions remains unresolved ahead of the 2026 season finale at the Hungaroring.

The Swiss outfit enters the final round with 794 points, holding an unassailable 509-point advantage over second-placed Cram Motorsport. Five of Jenzer’s six drivers currently occupy positions inside the top ten of the Drivers’ Championship, including Elia Weiss, Teo Borenstein and Max Karhan, who hold the leading three positions.

Meanwhile, Cram Motorsport remains the strongest contender for second in the Teams’ Championship with 285 points. However, Mathilda Racing retains a mathematical opportunity to challenge for the runner-up position, while Maffi Racing’s withdrawal has opened another avenue for the chasing teams to improve their final classifications.

With three races remaining at the Hungaroring, the battles for third through seventh are particularly close, leaving several teams with opportunities to conclude their campaigns on a stronger note.

Jenzer Motorsport claims fourth consecutive F4 CEZ Teams’ title

Jenzer Motorsport has maintained its dominance of the F4 CEZ Teams’ Championship throughout the 2026 campaign, securing the title before the final round for the fourth consecutive season.

The Swiss organisation has remained unbeaten in the championship since its inaugural season in 2023, establishing itself as the benchmark for the regional single-seater category.

Its 2026 campaign has been particularly successful, with Weiss, Borenstein and Karhan occupying the leading three positions in the Drivers’ Championship. Meanwhile, Markas Silkunas and Georgiy Zasov have also contributed strong performances, helping the team maintain a commanding advantage over its rivals.

Jenzer’s dominance was particularly evident during the previous two rounds. At Autodrom Most, the team secured all four victories, with Karhan winning the opening contest before Weiss completed a hat-trick.

The outfit repeated that achievement at Autodrom Brno, where Weiss secured another two victories, while Borenstein and Zasov each claimed one.

Jenzer also completed three podium lockouts during the Brno weekend, increasing its championship total from 614 to 794 points.

The result confirmed another Teams’ Championship for the Swiss outfit, with its rivals unable to overturn the deficit regardless of their performances at the Hungaroring.

Cram Motorsport holds advantage in battle for second

Although Jenzer has already secured the title, Cram Motorsport enters the final round aiming to retain second in the championship.

The Italian outfit currently holds 285 points, placing it 30 ahead of Maffi Racing and 110 clear of fourth-placed Mathilda Racing.

Cram has benefited from consistent performances across its driver line-up, particularly from Simon Rechenmacher, Leo Nilsson and Felipe Reijs.

Rechenmacher secured another podium at Brno, finishing third in the opening race before recovering to fourth in the finale. His results, alongside contributions from Nilsson and Reijs, helped the team increase its points total from 200 to 285.

However, the championship’s scoring system means that second place is not yet mathematically secured.

Only the two highest-finishing drivers from each team score points in each race, with a maximum of 45 points available per contest. With three races scheduled at the Hungaroring, teams can therefore collect up to 135 points during the final weekend.

Mathilda Racing consequently remains capable of overturning its 110-point deficit, although doing so would require an exceptionally strong weekend and limited scoring from Cram.

Nevertheless, Cram enters the finale in a favourable position and will aim to consolidate its championship standing.

Maffi Racing withdrawal opens opportunity for Mathilda Racing

The battle for third has become particularly significant following Maffi Racing’s decision not to participate in the Hungaroring finale.

The Swiss outfit currently occupies third in the Teams’ Championship with 255 points, having remained among Jenzer’s closest challengers throughout much of the season.

However, Maffi Racing withdrew from the championship following a technical dispute at Brno, ending its participation before the final round.

Its absence means the team cannot add to its existing points total, providing an opportunity for rivals to move ahead.

Mathilda Racing is particularly well placed to benefit. The German outfit currently sits fourth with 175 points, leaving it 80 behind Maffi.

Although the gap remains substantial, the maximum of 135 points available at the Hungaroring means Mathilda could move onto the championship podium with a strong weekend.

The team has previously demonstrated its competitiveness through drivers including Mathilda Paatz, Dean Pedersen and Ivonn Simeonova.

However, Paatz will miss the finale because of her F1 Academy commitments in Austin, leaving the team to pursue its championship objectives without one of its established competitors.

Mathilda Racing therefore faces a challenging but potentially rewarding final round, with opportunities to improve its position despite the absence of a key driver.

Technorace Competition and STEP Motorsport separated by five points

The battle behind Mathilda Racing is even closer, with Technorace Competition and STEP Motorsport separated by just five points.

Technorace enters the finale fifth on 154 points, while STEP Motorsport follows in sixth with 149. Both organisations remain within reach of fourth-placed Mathilda Racing, which holds a 21-point advantage over Technorace.

Technorace has developed a competitive programme during its debut F4 CEZ campaign, with Antonio Errigo and Francesco Pio Coppola contributing important results throughout the season.

Errigo delivered several points-scoring finishes at Brno, including sixth in Race 2, while Coppola recovered to eighth in Race 3 and 14th in the finale.

Meanwhile, STEP Motorsport made significant progress at the penultimate round through Knud Eske Nielsen, Erik Poulsen and Viktor Snebjørn Poulsen.

Nielsen secured fourth in Race 3 before finishing fifth in the final contest, while Erik Poulsen added further points through his performances across the weekend.

Those results increased STEP Motorsport’s total from 89 to 149 points, reducing its deficit to Technorace and strengthening its position ahead of the final round.

With such a narrow gap separating the two teams, even a single strong result could change their order in the championship.

ABA Racing remains within reach of midfield rivals

ABA Racing by SG Motors also remains involved in the closely contested midfield battle, entering the Hungaroring finale seventh with 129 points.

The team trails STEP Motorsport by 20 points and Technorace Competition by 25, leaving it within reach of both rivals.

Aleksandar Bogunovic has played an important role in the organisation’s campaign, consistently competing among the leading midfield runners.

At Brno, he finished sixth in Race 1 and fourth in Race 2 before securing eighth in the final contest. Those performances contributed to the team’s progress and strengthened its championship position.

ABA Racing’s 2026 campaign also represents its first season competing in F4 CEZ, making its current position a promising foundation for future participation.

However, with several teams separated by relatively small margins, the final standings could change considerably during the Hungaroring weekend.

Like Technorace and STEP Motorsport, ABA Racing will aim to conclude its debut campaign with the strongest possible classification.

Cram Motorsport occupies second, while Maffi Racing remains third despite withdrawing from the season finale. Mathilda Racing, Technorace Competition, STEP Motorsport and ABA Racing by SG Motors complete the leading seven.

Although Jenzer cannot be caught, the remaining positions are not yet final. Cram Motorsport retains a strong advantage in second, while Maffi Racing’s absence creates additional opportunities for the teams behind it.

Hungaroring finale set to decide remaining F4 CEZ Teams’ positions

The 2026 F4 CEZ season will conclude at the Hungaroring from 23–25 October, bringing the six-round championship to an end.

Jenzer Motorsport enters the weekend having already secured its fourth consecutive Teams’ Championship, although its leading drivers remain involved in the battle for the individual title.

Weiss currently leads the Drivers’ Championship by 42 points over Borenstein, while Karhan remains another 17 points behind. Their positions underline Jenzer’s dominance throughout the campaign.

However, the remaining Teams’ Championship places are still open. Cram Motorsport will attempt to consolidate second, while Mathilda Racing has an opportunity to challenge Maffi Racing’s third-place position.

Further back, Technorace Competition, STEP Motorsport and ABA Racing by SG Motors are separated by just 25 points, providing another close contest during the final weekend.

Although the championship winner has already been confirmed, the remaining battles ensure that the Hungaroring finale will still play an important role in determining the final 2026 F4 CEZ Teams’ Championship standings.
