My ultimate aim is to get into F1.” 

Finally, we had the hotly-contested LGB Formula 4 category in which Chennai-lad Vishnu Prasad came out on the top as the season champion. It is also worth mentioning that this is Vishnu’s 14th National title.

The final LGB Formula 4 run saw Arya Singh finish at the top of the podium, however, the championship was sealed by Vishnu Prasad.
