Round 2 of the UAE4 Championship this weekend!

Red Bull Junior and Hitech driver Scott Kin Lindblom returns to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi for another weekend packed with high energy racing.
– I really like this track, and my goal for round two of the championship is of course the podium, Scott says.

Just a few days ago the 15-year-old swede proved himself in the overtaking business, starting från P38 and gaining positions up to P14 in race 1 and all the way into the points on P6 in race 3.
– I just put my head down and tried to make as much as possible out of the situation, it´s never great to start at the back, but it happens, Scott says.

This weekend a slight change to the track is made, T5 is removed from the layout, which means a bit less places for overtaking – the track layout is now called ”Corkscrew”.

About the UAE4 Championship:
A junior single-seater racing series, which was rebranded as the F4 Middle East Championship starting in 2025, expanding to include rounds in other Gulf nations like Qatar. It serves as a crucial stepping stone for young drivers, offering seat time on Grade 1 circuits and opportunities for FIA Super Licence points.

Second round of 2026 is up this weekend. Testing starts on Friday 22nd, with race 1 on Saturday and race 2 and 3 on Sunday.
