Kenyan teenager Shane Chandaria clinched the third season of the FIA-certified Formula 4 Indian Championship at the Madras International Circuit, becoming the youngest title winner at just 15.
Competing as a rookie in the 2025 season, Chandaria sealed the championship in Race 1, starting from pole and finishing second—enough to secure the crown despite pressure from experienced rivals. Nicknamed ‘Baby Samurai’, he showcased remarkable composure throughout the season. Frenchman Sachel Rotge finished runner-up, while Ishaan Madesh claimed third overall. Chandaria’s team, Chennai Turbo Riders, also won the Teams’ Championship.
