Sebastian Wheldon leaves Prema for MP in FREC

Across all categories, Prema drivers' ambitions for new challenges are confirmed. Recognized as one of the great talents of the new generation, Dan Wheldon's son is taking things to the next level. Third in Italian F4 in 2025, the American has now secured a spot on the Formula Regional European grid with the Dutch team MP Motorsport.

Linked to Prema in F4, the driver in question had already been officially announced with the prestigious Italian brand for the upcoming season. This was also the case for Enzo Deligny in F3 For example, the young pilot's plans have changed, preferring to leave a ship that no longer has the same advantages since the departures of the Rosin family, or of elements such as the Frenchman Guillaume Capietto in particular.

With seven wins in Italian F4 last year, Sebastian Wheldon finished behind the highly regarded Kean Nakamura-Berta (champion) and Gabriel Gomez. Having been in contention for the title for a time, the American driver will now team up with Alexander Abkhazava and Zhenrui Chi. It remains to be seen whether Colombian Salim Hanna, also confirmed with Prema, will decide to move on to another team this year.
