Kush Maini took the third spot in the second race after finishing fourth in the first in the Italian F4 championship during the weekend.

The Jenzer Motorsport driver managed a photo-finish in the first race, claiming fourth on the final lap. He was also on track for a top finish in race three before an accident pushed him down to ninth.

Bengaluru schoolboy Ruhaan Alva, aided by a win and a fourth-place finish in back-to-back rounds, emerged vice-champion in the Easykart 60 category of the Easykart championship which concluded at the Lignano Sabbiadoro circuit in Italy on Sunday.

Ruhaan finished the nine-round championship tied with Patrese Lorenzo on 136 points. However, on count-back, Ruhaan took the second spot, 18 points behind overall winner Daniele D’Uroso. Ruhaan, in his debut season, had three wins compared to Lorenzo’s one.

Ruhaan’s final tally of points was all the more creditable as he missed the first round after taking part in the Mini category before switching to the higher and more competitive class.
