In his first qualifying sessions, Reza placed P9 and P7, securing mid-pack starts for the races. However, Race 1 was cut short due to gearbox issues, resulting in an early retirement. “It was disappointing not to finish the first race, but these things happen,” Reza reflected. “The important thing is to learn from it and move forward.”

Race 2 saw Reza battling hard to finish P14, gaining more experience in the  car. By Race 3, he found a stronger rhythm, finishing P9 and earning his first top-10 result of the season.

“This weekend was all about learning and adapting,” Reza said. “The car is a completely new challenge, and every lap on track is helping me build confidence and improve. I’m grateful to Prema Racing for their support and for giving me the tools to keep progressing.”

Reza’s debut weekend showcased his determination and resilience as he takes on this highly competitive championship.
