Racing career

ADAC Formula 4

2016 was Zendeli's first season in ADAC Formula 4. His only podium of the year came at Zandvoort and he finished 13th in the standings. The following season would see Zendeli improve his results by winning three races and finishing in 4th position. 2018 was his breakout year: Zendeli moved to the US Racing-CHRS team and brought home the F4 title.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

Zendeli progressed to Formula 3 in 2019, staying on with Charouz. He only scored six points, one less than his teammate Fabio Scherer and finished 18th in the championship. Despite this, he signed for Trident Racing to partner Devlin DeFrancesco and Olli Caldwell in the 2020 season.

gollark: What? That makes no sense.
gollark: I am not going to put in the effort to read tons of this and extract a coherent narrative which probably isn't there, because frankly it does not seem worth my time, or anyone's.
gollark: Well, it explains random facts about things, and in some cases non-facts, but it doesn't... actually say anything more than "here are some random facts about things".
gollark: It does not explain anything.
gollark: If you have an actual *idea*, or *theory*, ***EXPLAIN IT***.
