Hamda Al Qubaisi will return to Italian Formula 4 this season and race as part of the Prema Powerteam line-up for the first time.
Al Qubaisi made her debut in Italian F4 in the middle of the 2019 season when she joined her older sister Amna under the Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema banner, run in cooperation with the Iron Lynx operation.
After winning three races on home soil in the United Arab Emirates F4 series at the start of 2020, she returned for a full campaign in Italy, again being run by Iron Lynx, and claimed two points finishes.
Having again claimed three wins and fourth overall in UAE F4 to begin her 2021 season, Al Qubaisi will join up with the Prema line-up in Italy as well as for selected rounds of the German ADAC F4 series.

Reigning Danish Formula 4 champion Conrad Laursen is aiming to remain in the category next year with a switch to the Italian series.
The Dane raced in OK Junior karts through 2018 and 2019, with a best result of third in last year’s South Garda Winter Cup behind Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli and soon-to-be Ferrari-backed Nicolas Todt protege James Wharton.
His step up to cars in Danish F4, which ran only to three rounds as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, included two wins.
“2020 has really been up and down. It was great to take the title, but I would probably have liked to have done it in Sweden [the planned replacement final round] – it did not work that way,” said Laursen.
