Sebastian Fernandez has joined BhaiTech for this year’s Italian Formula 4 championship?after winning at the final round of 2016.

He will now join up with BhaiTech, which earlier this week confirmed that Lorenzo Colombo will continue with the team.
?We are delighted to field Fernandez in the 2017 Italian F.4 season,” said team manager Nicolo Gaglian.
“We tested him for quite some time but we have been impressed from the very beginning.
“He has a very clean and precise driving style, and is also able to reach the car?s limit rapidly and consistently. I think he will be among the title contenders this season.?
Fernandez also dabbled in Spanish F4 and ADAC F4 last year, and this weekend has joined the UAE F4 series with Motopark.
Speaking about BhaiTech, he said: “It is a really strong team and with the experience I gained last year I believe we can post some really competitive results.”
