Sandro Zeller ends the season with a one-two at Mugello

Round 08: Austria Formula Cup – Mugello (ITA)
Sandro Zeller won both races at the season finale in Mugello and comfortably secured the championship title. In the first race, Riccardo Perego (Corbetta Racing) and Cian Carey (Franz Wöss Racing) took the other podium places. In the final race, Kurt Böhlen (Jo Zeller Racing) and Stig Larsen (G Motorsport) joined Zeller on the podium. Zeller had already secured the best starting position for the race weekend in qualifying. With a time of 1:40.942 minutes, the Jo Zeller Racing driver secured pole position on the 5.245-kilometre circuit.

Race 1: Perego and Carey just behind Zeller
The first ten-lap race turned into a close battle at the front. Zeller crossed the finish line as the winner in 20:53.447 minutes, but his rivals remained within striking distance: Perego was just 1.640 seconds behind at the finish, whilst Carey crossed the line a further 0.189 seconds later in third place. Larsen missed out on the podium by just under a second, finishing fourth. Solfaroli (One Motorsport) took fifth place, with Ledermann (Franz Wöss Racing) finishing sixth. Böhlen, who would later finish on the podium in the second race, had to settle for tenth place initially. The fastest lap went to Larsen, who clocked a time of 1:43.933 minutes. For Löffler (Franz Wöss Racing), the first race ended prematurely. The Austrian completed just three laps and was not classified.

Race 2: Böhlen moves up to second place
In the season’s final race, a 30-minute event, Zeller once again left no doubt as to his strength. After 16 laps, he won in 30:12.495 minutes, 7.759 seconds ahead of Böhlen. The Swiss driver thus made a significant leap forward in the second race. Larsen completed the podium, 9.610 seconds behind the winner. Behind the leading trio, Lorimier (Viola Formula Racing) finished fourth, whilst Solfaroli came fifth. Perego took seventh place, and Ledermann finished the race in eighth. Löffler crossed the line in tenth place this time. Carey retired after eleven laps and was not classified. Zeller also claimed the fastest lap: with a time of 1:42.441 minutes, he set the fastest lap in the final race of the season.

Championship: Ledermann ahead of Böhlen
With his one-two finish at Mugello, Zeller underlined his dominance in the 2026 season. He is thus crowned champion of the 2026 Austria Formula Cup, finishing the championship on 302 points. Behind him, the race for the remaining places was much closer: Ledermann secured second place overall with 109 points, just three points ahead of Böhlen on 106.
