First edition of the FIA F4 World Cup
Motor car race
The 2025 FIA F4 World Cup (Chinese: 2025国际汽联F4世界杯), officially the 2025 Macau Formula 4 Race – FIA F4 World Cup, was a motor race for Formula 4 (F4) cars held on the Guia Circuit, a street circuit in Macau, on 16 November 2025. A support race for the 2025 Macau Grand Prix, it was the inaugural edition of the FIA F4 World Cup and the fifth F4 race held on the streets of Macau.
Organised by the Sports Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, the event featured a timed qualifying session prior to an eight-lap qualification race, which decided the grid for the 10-lap main event. The entrants were selected by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), featuring seven former or reigning F4 champions amongst a 20-driver field. Over 116,000 spectators were in attendance across the four-day weekend.
Sebastian Wheldon took pole position—over reigning Italian and E4 champion Kean Nakamura-Berta—for the qualification race, where both retired on lap one to enable Middle East champion Emanuele Olivieri‘s victory and subsequent pole for the main event. Frenchmen Jules Roussel and Rayan Caretti passed Olivieri early in the final, trading the lead until Caretti crashed on lap eight. Roussel claimed the World Cup behind the safety car, ahead of Olivieri and Rintaro Sato.

Open-wheel racing has been contested on the streets of Macau since the debut of Formula Libre in the 1961 edition of the Macau Grand Prix, which was held under Formula Three (F3) regulations from 1983 onwards. In 2013, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) created the Formula 4 (F4) category upon approval from the FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC), which formed the first stage of the FIA Global Pathway from Karting to Formula One. The FIA granted World Cup–status to the Macau Grand Prix in 2016.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the F3 World Cup in 2020 as drivers from the FIA Formula 3 Championship were unable to travel to compete; instead, the event was contested under F4 regulations for the first time as a non-championship round of the F4 Chinese Championship. It remained as such in 2021 and 2022, until the return of F3. The 2023 edition featured a support race in F4—the Macau Formula 4 Race—which formed a non-championship round of the F4 South East Asia Championship and was won by Arvid Lindblad.[1][2] The return of F4 to Macau as the inaugural FIA F4 World Cup was approved by the WMSC and announced by the FIA in May 2025 as a support race for the 2025 Macau Grand Prix in Formula Regional (FR) and the 2025 FIA GT World Cup in GT3.[3]
Macau is an essential part of the education of a young driver, and we have a duty to protect its legacy and its future. There are so few challenges like the Macau Grand Prix left that we felt it was the right moment to introduce the FIA F4 World Cup. It will give the best drivers coming from the national level an opportunity to learn what it takes to drive the Guia Circuit in an F4 car, which is a bit more forgiving than an FR car, so that when they come back in one or two years for the FR World Cup they are ready to really show what they can do.
All competitors used an identical Ligier-branded Mygale M21-F4 chassis with a 1.3L turbocharged inline-four engine. All cars were centrally-run under spec conditions.[4] Entry to the competition was by invite-only with eligibility determined by the FIA, including the perceived top drivers from F4 series from across the world, as well as local talent from Macau and China.[5][3] Invitees from nine FIA-certified F4 series were entered into the event, with one female driver, Emily Cotty.[6]
Of the 20 drivers entered into the World Cup, six were reigning champions in F4—Fionn McLaughlin, Alexandre Munoz, Shimo Zhang, Gino Trappa, Kean Nakamura-Berta, and Emanuele Olivieri—and one was a Macanese former champion, Tiago Rodrigues;[7][8] GB4 champion Ary Bansal was also invited. The champions of Japan, NACAM, the United States, South East Asia, Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia were not in attendance. An invitee, Ethan Nobels, withdrew from the event following an accident in the Brazilian Championship earlier in November.[9]

A free practice session was held on Friday morning, with drivers having less time to set a lap time due to interventions due to collisions. Wheldon finished the session in first with a time of 2:24.323, with Nakamura-Berta behind in second and Olivieri behind in third.
Qualifying was held later that day to determine the grid for the qualification race. McLaughlin set the first fast lap of the session after not setting a time in either free practice session due to mechanical issues, and switched to the unused chassis of Ethan Nobels for qualifying. While on a fast lap, Munoz set best times in three sectors, but crashed while in the fourth sector. There were many other red flags throughout the session due to incidents, and the session was not resumed after Sato crashed with just over three and a half minutes to go. Wheldon took pole position with a time of 2:24.148, ahead of Nakamura-Berta and Olivieri. Bearman qualified in fourth, and Rodrigues in fifth.[13]
