The Ukrainian driver became the fastest at the start of the first stage of Formula 4 in 2026.
Today, January 17, the first stage of the prestigious Formula 4 Middle East championship started, in which Ukrainian Alexander Bondarev participated.
As with most race series, there are training sessions leading up to major events (qualifying and the race itself). They don’t always accurately reflect the true balance of power, but they allow you to establish a general trend at the beginning of the scene.
Training at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi was a good start for Alexander. The Ukrainian immediately set the pace and set the fastest time of the session.
Moreover, this has become a pattern, not an exception. Bondarev also spent among the leaders in pre-season testing, which ended a few days ago, and also led training on Friday.
Now all that remains is to consolidate the momentum in decisive sessions that bring results in the form of positions and points. Qualifications for the first stage will take place on Saturday at 11:10 and 11:20 Kiev time.
