The 2025 Formula 4 Central European Zone (F4 CEZ) championship is set to feature a notable number of female drivers again, as three talented young women—Kiara Henni, Mathilda Paatz and last year’s standout Michalina Sabaj—join the grid for the opening round at the Red Bull Ring next weekend.

Michalina Sabaj from Poland continues her journey in the F4 CEZ Championship with AS Motorsport. She competed in the series last season, finishing fifth overall with 84 points and delivering a series of promising performances.

German driver Mathilda Paatz has already built a strong reputation on the international karting scene and has represented Germany at the FIA Motorsport Games. In 2024, she transitioned to single-seaters with a debut in French F4. As part of her preparation for the 2025 season, she also took part in the Formula Winter Series.

Kiara Henni, also from Germany, will compete with the family-run Henni Performance team, driving car number 26. Although she began karting only a few years ago, the young driver has shown considerable potential, supported by experienced mentor Laurents Hörr, who currently races in the European Le Mans Series.
