Maffi Racing is a brand new team to the Italian Formula 4 championship this year, except it’s a name that already has a long history in racing and particularly in Ethiopia. The team takes its name from the family that runs it, with brothers Cristian (chief technical officer) and Danny Maffi (team principal) at the helm alongside the unrelated Alex Thouvenin (managing director). Back in 1969, the brothers’ father Giorgio started Maffi Racing in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa and it competed in rallying before success in circuit racing and karting. We’re aiming at having a Swiss driver, at least one woman driver, although we do not want to separate by gender. After racing in Italian F4, which visits Austria and Belgium for two of its seven rounds, Maffi Racing will start 2023 by racing in the F4 United Arab Emirates championship.
