Mathilda Paatz ends successful debut season in Formula 4

For Mathilda Paatz, the season finale of the French Formula 4 Championship in Le Castellet marks the end of a successful debut year in formula racing. Although the ADAC Formula 4 Junior Team driver was unable to take home anything worthwhile at the end of the season, the 16-year-old young talent can look back on an instructive and therefore positive debut season. Especially in the second half of the season, the young driver from Cologne was able to improve significantly, set some highlights and achieve promising results. Despite a double retirement at the finale through no fault of her own, the Motorsport Team Germany driver can therefore summarise the season with satisfaction.
