The following year, Al Azhari remained with Yas Heat Racing to race in the UAE4 Series,[23] in which he scored a best result of fourth in the season-opening race at Yas Marina and ended the season 11th in points.[24] For the rest of the year, Al Azhari joined Hitech to return to the F4 British Championship.[25]
