Kabir Anurag’s 2025 season unfolded in the restless, transitional space where junior careers are shaped. The Singaporean racing driver entered the year as an Alpine Academy junior with expectations attached, racing primarily in Italian Formula 4 and its surrounding winter and regional championships. At an age where results and self understanding begin to collide, Anurag’s year became less about a single headline and more about learning how to extract performance when it matters most.
On paper, the results show clear momentum. Two wins in the Formula Winter Series anchored his early season, along with a fourth place finish in the championship that placed him among the most consistent drivers across changing circuits and conditions. His standout Saturday at Aragon remains the sharpest snapshot of his potential. “I’d say my top three highlights are a great Saturday in Aragon with pole and a race win by over three seconds,” he said. It was a weekend that showed control rather than desperation, pace without excess.
Monza followed with a different tone. The margins were tighter, the pressure more public. “My double podium weekend in Monza to lock out sixth in E4,” he said, framing it as a moment of consolidation rather than breakthrough. Barcelona closed the loop. “A good weekend in Barcelona with two podiums (P3 and P1 after penalties) to lock out 4th in the FWS championship.” Together, they formed a season defined by peaks that arrived when he trusted the process.
That trust did not always come easily. “I’d say this year I made a lot of steps forward, I’d say my goals were higher and I was capable of achieving them but some mistakes in my side held me back,” Anurag said. His reflection is measured, aware of both capability and consequence. “I know why I didn’t achieve them and I was able to make progress towards the end of the year to make some good results and show strong pace.”
The challenge, unexpectedly, was internal. “I think my main challenge was getting the best out of myself, and at many points through this year I held myself back from doing that but I learnt a lot from these moments.” Away from the races, he found joy in the work itself. “I would say working with US [Racing], jumping into different and faster cars and of course my simulator at home.”
As the season closed with a GB3 Championship debut with Xcel Motorsport, the direction became clearer. “I’m looking forward to working as hard as possible for next year, and grinding on my sim,” he said. His goals are grounded in belief rather than prediction. “My goal is to constantly get the best from my talent and to trust in it, trust in gods plan and give it absolutely everything.” For those arriving behind him, the advice is simple.
“I would say to just enjoy it, trust yourself and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.”
