Following the programme’s final three-day training camp at the Circuit Paul Ricard – which saw eight drivers take to the French track in F4 machinery, measuring themselves against a benchmark lap time set by Charles Leclerc’s Formula Regional European Championship racing brother Arthur – the four finalists have now been selected:

- Antonella Bassani
- Doriane Pin

Those four drivers will now attend a final training and assessment programme, due to be held at the Ferrari Driver Academy headquarters in Maranello, Italy, after which one of the racers could be offered a contract for a fully-funded season of FIA Formula 4 racing.
