Monlau Motul Technical School concluded the Spanish F4 season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with a strong result in front of their home crowd. The Barcelona-based team delivered a standout performance in the second race, with Miki Blascos finishing fifth overall – third among the rookies – while Juste Mulder and Fausto Arnaudo also finished within the top 10. All three drivers completed a very solid race in an event that once again highlighted the competitiveness of a category that brought together 36 participants. The event also presented a double challenge for Monlau Motul, which was also present at the same circuit with its TCR Spain team.
The action kicked off on Friday with two free practice sessions, before Saturday saw the first qualifying session. Juste Mulder was the fastest Monlau Motul driver, setting a time of 1:43.645, which placed him seventh, 651 thousandths of a second off pole position . Miki Blascos posted the 16th fastest time (1:44.169), followed by Fausto Arnaudo in 17th (1:44.368). This time, the team also fielded Egor Ivanchenko, a driver from the Monlau Motul Karting Team, who made his debut in the Spanish F4 Championship. During the first race, he suffered an incident with another competitor, resulting in an injury to his left hand. Despite this, he managed to complete the race, although a subsequent assessment at the medical center confirmed the extent of the injury and prevented him from continuing for the rest of the weekend.
The first heat, held on Saturday, ended with Juste Mulder in tenth place, fifth among the rookies, after benefiting from a rival’s penalty. The Dutchman had initially crossed the finish line in 11th. Blascos finished 18th, although a five-second penalty dropped him to 20th. Arnaudo was 21st, while Ivanchenko managed to finish the race in 30th despite an injury sustained during the event. A subsequent ten-second penalty relegated him to 33rd.
The second race, held on Saturday afternoon, produced the best result for Monlau Motul in the final round of the championship. All three drivers started in the top ten: Arnaudo eighth, Blascos ninth, and Mulder tenth. The Argentinian rider went off the track and dropped to 17th, while his two teammates remained at the front before a red flag interrupted the race. At the restart, Blascos climbed to sixth and Mulder moved up to ninth. The Mallorcan rider eventually managed to reach fifth position and secure third place among the rookies . Mulder maintained his ninth position and finished seventh among the rookies , while Arnaudo recovered positions to cross the finish line in tenth and eighth among the rookies . Thus, all three Monlau Motul riders finished within the top 10.
Sunday’s action began with the second qualifying session. Juste Mulder was once again the team’s best performer, setting a time of 1:43.014 that placed him tenth, 583 thousandths of a second off pole position . Fausto Arnaudo was 22nd (1:43.519), just 41 thousandths of a second ahead of Miki Blascos, who finished 23rd (1:43.560). Once again, the small gaps between the field highlighted the competitiveness of the grid.
In the third and final race of the weekend, Mulder lost several positions in the early stages, while Blascos and Arnaudo held onto their places. After two safety car periods, the Dutchman was unable to recover the lost ground and finished 22nd. Blascos crossed the finish line in 21st place and Arnaudo in 23rd.
Once the 2026 Spanish F4 season was over, Miki Blascos finished 15th in the overall standings with 27 points; Juste Mulder, 18th with 9; and Fausto Arnaudo, 21st with 4.
David Simón , team manager of Monlau Motul Technical School, highlighted the team’s performance over the weekend: “We showed that we have the speed and pace to be among the top ten. The second race was a good demonstration of our potential, with all three cars finishing in the top ten. It’s a shame that Sunday’s race, affected by numerous safety car periods, didn’t allow us to show everything we were capable of. In any case, we are satisfied with the team’s work, although we also regret that Egor couldn’t complete his debut in the category due to his injury.”
For his part, Jaime Serrano , CEO of Monlau Motul, reviewed the season and acknowledged the efforts of everyone involved: “It has been a season of hard work and learning in a highly competitive championship. I want to especially highlight the dedication of our mechanics and engineers, whose efforts are fundamental at every race to provide our riders with the best possible equipment. We thank the entire team for their commitment throughout this championship.”
With this race in Barcelona, Monlau Motul Technical School concludes its participation in the 2026 Spanish F4 season, where it has continued to gain experience and compete in one of the most demanding training categories in motorsport. The team is already working towards new sporting challenges and continuing to develop the talent of its drivers.
