    The 2014 Florida Winter Series season was the inaugural and only season for the Florida Winter Series, a non-championship racing series organised by the Ferrari Driver Academy in Florida. The season started with a collective test on 22 January 2014 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, before a total of 12 races were held over 4 race meetings at Sebring International Raceway, Palm Beach International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.

    One of the Academy's driver roster, Formula Renault 2.0 Alps competitor Antonio Fuoco, was one of two drivers to win four races along with Nicholas Latifi, who had contested the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2013. KZ1 karting world champion Max Verstappen won races at Palm Beach and Homestead, as he contested his first single-seater races prior to a campaign in the FIA European Formula Three Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, while Dennis van de Laar and Tatiana Calderón each won races at Sebring, as they also prepared for their respective FIA European Formula Three Championship campaigns.

    No points were awarded for the races and the final results were based on driver's finishing positions.

    The series used the Tatuus FA010B chassis. This car is also used in Formula Abarth and other regional championships. The car is built to Formula 3 safety regulations to ensure the drivers safety. The car is powered by a 1400cc Fiat-FPT engine producing 190hp.

    Tatuus FA01 Details

    The Italian racing class Formula Abarth, introduced the Tatuus FA010 powered by a 1.4L Fiat-FPT engine. The car was later introduced in the Formula Masters China (2011), Panam GP Series (2012), Formula Russia (2013). Starting in 2014 the Florida Winter Series, set up by the Ferrari Driver Academy, used an updated version of the Tatuus FA010. For 2014 Tatuus was contracted to build all the cars for the Formula 4 Italian Championship, a new class under the rules of the FIA Formula 4. The Tatuus F4-T014 is powered by a detuned Formula Abarth engine, limited to 160hp. In 2015, the new ADAC Formula 4 adopted the Tatuus car. The BRDC Formula 4 Championship announced in September 2014 that it would use a Tatuus chassis from the 2015 BRDC Formula 4 Autumn Trophy.
