Joao Vieira is back behind the wheel of Antonelli Motorsport’s Tatuus F4, to take part in the first two-days of pre-season test this weekend.

After his debut last season in the Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth, Joao will continue working with the team taking advantage of the gained know-how and aiming for the tricolored title.

The challenging Piero Taruffi circuit at Campagnano will see the first (of seven) round of the 2015 Championship. The F4 Circus will then travel to Monza, Franciacorta, Mugello, Adria, Imola and Misano for the grand finale.

Joao Vieira"I'm really happy to be back behind the wheel. Weather forecasts rain and this will allow me to become familiar with the circuit in these conditions, working on the set-up. Last year I had to get to know all quickly: team, car and tracks. This year, instead, I will have the opportunity to make the most of all the work done in one year. The goal is to start immediately determined from the first race in Monza.".

Giovanni Minardi"I am glad the engines finally switch on. After the positive experience of 2014, I am sure that this year will be a successful for Joao and he can fight for the Championship win."
