The Spanish F4 season drew to a close in Barcelona, where Indian American driver Vivek Kanthan signed off his rookie campaign with one of his strongest performances of the year. After a difficult opening race where he finished 19th from a P14 start, Kanthan recovered well through the final two races of the weekend.

His pace in Race 1 offered a turning point. Setting the second fastest lap secured him a front-row start for Race 2, and he made full use of the opportunity by holding position to finish P2\. The run marked his first podium of the season and one of his most controlled drives to date.

In Race 3, Kanthan climbed from P11 to P7, closing his season with another measured recovery drive. He completes his first year in Spanish F4 ninth in the overall championship and third in the Rookie standings.
