PREMA Racing announces that David Cosma Cristofor will take part in the 2026 Italian Formula 4 Championship under the team's banner.
The 16-year-old Romanian is lining up for his sophomore season in Formula 4 racing, following promising performances last year in the Formula 4 Middle East Championship and Italian F4.
Earlier this year, Cosma Cristofor joined the team for its UAE4 Championship campaign in the Emirates, where he secured two podium finishes and delivered great consistency to take fifth place in points.
Joining the team for testing, he impressed for his potential, which the team hopes he will promptly put to fruition in the upcoming series opener in early May at Misano.
Stephen Mitas - Team Principal & CEO
“We’re absolutely delighted to continue our partnership with David following a series of truly impressive performances in the UAE4 Championship. He demonstrated not only his raw speed but also a level of maturity and racecraft that marks him out as a driver with real potential.
"Building on the experience he gained in 2025, we’re confident he can take another significant step forward this season. We believe this collaboration will be highly rewarding for both sides, especially in a championship where our team has a proven track record of success. Together, we’re aiming to push even further and fight at the very front.”
