Dear sponsors, patrons and friends
It's finally started again. This week I'm sitting in Mugello for the first time since March in the Jenzer Motorsport Formula 4 racer. You can find more about this and the upcoming start of the championship in the following newsletter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the continued great support. A payment slip with full details is attached to this letter for those who have not yet contributed this year. Current pictures from today's vehicle presentation in Lyss will follow until the evening. Have fun while reading

Finally back in the cockpit
After the three-month Corona break, Jasin Ferati returns to the racetrack with a new sponsor. Six days of testing are optimal preparation for the delayed start of the season in Europe's most important Formula 4 championship.
After weeks of uncertainty, there is finally clarity: motorsport is also on the way back to normal. In addition to Formula 1, other series are ready to resume activity on the circuits, while respecting the strictest safety precautions. This also applies to the internationally advertised Italian Formula 4 Championship, in which Jasin Ferati is looking forward to his debut. The soon to be 17-year-old Swiss will start well prepared in the Jenzer Motorsport team.
"I'm upset and happy to finally be able to climb back into the cockpit three months after the last test in June at Mugello, Misano and Imola," admits the man from Winterthur. "I'm motivated to the tips of my toes and I feel ready for the new challenge in every respect. The Corona crisis also had its good side for me. I was able to significantly intensify the training and now work on strength and endurance almost every day with my new trainer Sedat Nuhiji, following the instructions of fitness guru Otmar Keller. The intensive simulator training with my race engineer Luciano Crespi at Jenzer in Lyss also helped me a great deal during this time.”
New sponsor
There is more positive news from this area. Ferati is joined by Racing Unleashed, a leader in virtual racing. "I am very much looking forward to working with my new sponsor in the future and will do everything to justify the trust of CEO Monisha Kaltenborn, the former head of Sauber." Racing Unleashed develops state-of-the-art simulators for all racing series and uses them in the most beautiful ones Deploy lounges worldwide. The first locations in Switzerland are Cham and Zurich. Kemptthal will soon be the third to join them. "Of course I'll be there very often to improve myself in this area as well," says Ferati. One of his tasks will be to bring virtual racing even closer to the real thing.
Despite the interruption, little has changed in the planned Formula 4 program. As planned, the second half of the Italian championship with the best field will include seven events with 21 races in Budapest, Misano, Le Castellet, Spielberg, Mugello, Monza, Imola and Vallelunga. At least ten test days are planned in advance. Ferati's teammates at Jenzer Motorsport are Romanian Filip Ugran, who is one year older, and Mexican Santiago Ramos Reynoso, who were there last year. "Although the competition will be big and strong, I want to finish in the top 10 in the overall standings and be at the forefront of the rookies," says Ferati. The best-known names in the impressive starting field are Joshua Dürksen, Jonny Edgar, Francesco Pizzi, Sebastian Montoya and Dino Beganovic.
