Junior racing career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Ferreira began karting in 2017 and moved up to the OKJ class two years later. In 2021, he came runner-up to both the WSK Super Master Series and the CIK-FIA European Championship.[1][2] In his final full-time karting season and OK debut, he came runner-up to the 2022 Champions of the Future – Winter Series title.[3]

Formula 4

[edit]

2023

[edit]
Ferreira at the 2023 Italian F4 Mugello round.

Ferreira made his Formula 4 debut in the Italian F4 Championship for Dutch outfit Van Amersfoort Racing.[4] Ferreira had a difficult start to the season, where in the opening round at Imola Circuit, he was disqualified from the third race and retired from the fourth race.[5] Ferreira had two more retirements later at Misano Circuit, but he was classified as finishing the first race due to running 90% of it.[6][7] At Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, he scored a seasons best result of fifth in the final race.[8][9] Ferreira added two more points finishes to his tally at Monza and Paul Ricard before getting a final points finish of ninth during the penultimate round at Mugello.[10][11][12]

Ferreira did a one-off cameo in the second-to-last round of the F4 Brazilian Championship at Interlagos for Oakberry Bassani F4 and claimed his maiden car racing win in the first and third races.[13][14][15][16]

2024

[edit]

Ferreira switched to US Racing in 2024, competing in the Formula Winter Series and the Italian F4 Championship. In the former he took a podium at Jerez and a win at Ricardo Tormo en-route to fifth in the standings.[17][18][19]

Following a difficult start to his Italian F4 campaign, Ferreira bounced back at Vallelunga, collecting three consecutive points finishes.[20] Two additional finishes in the points came in the following round at Mugello. Ferreira acquired his maiden podium during race one at Paul Ricard. After the races at Paul Ricard, Ferreira exited the series and thus concluded his Formula 4 career.[21][22]

Ferreira ended his debut season fifteenth in the standings.[24][25]
