Giovanni Minardi: “I am very happy to have been able to bring Valentino into Europe by entering him in the French championship, one of the most important in the world of Formula 4 that in recent years has launched many young talents that have put themselves on show in all the superior categories. I am convinced that Valentino too will be able to immediately show his worth by following in the footsteps of champions who reached Formula 1 in which I had the pleasure and honour of working closely in the Minardi F1 Team. “

Valentino Mini: “On the incredible Le Mans track close to the FFSA Academy I spent days of incredible physical and mental training, in addition to having the opportunity to drive. I will treasure this experience in the opening round of the championship at Nogaro which will open my first season in F4. I am very happy to be able to meet and work with people who have great experience in Motorsport, including engineers, mechanics, athletics trainers and drivers”
