Nikita Bedrin

The Russian's main campaign would be in the Italian and ADAC F4 series, partnering Ollie Bearman, Joshua Dufek, Bence Válint and Han Cenyu at Van Amersfoort Racing.

[5][6] He would score points regularly in Italy, with the season highlight being a triple of podiums at Imola Circuit, where Bedrin was awarded the Race 3 victory after a disqualification for Bearman due to a technical infringement.

The following year, Bedrin returned to the category, starting his season in the F4 UAE Championship, where he drove alongside Taylor Barnard and Jonas Ried for new team PHM Racing.

[7] His campaign proved to be a success, as he took two wins, one a piece in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which led the Russian on to finish fourth in the standings.

Meanwhile, his season in ADAC Formula 4 would bear more fruit, as he finished fourth overall, with six podiums, including a lone win at a rainy Lausitzring, under his belt.

[13] In September 2022, Bedrin took part in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test for Jenzer Motorsport together with his PHM teammate Taylor Barnard and Euroformula Open driver Alex García.

[19] In Belgium, he gambled in the feature race by starting on wet tyres as his teammates and a few other drivers, which would see him up to third place by the chequered flag and getting another podium.

[21] Despite uncertainty if he would remain on the grid for 2024, Bedrin would return to PHM Racing for his second season, partnering Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Joshua Dufek.
