Wurz made his single-seater debut in 2021, competing at the Vallelunga round of the Italian F4 Championship as part of the Prema outfit and taking a win in the rookie class during Race 3. He would go on to compete in his home round at the Red Bull Ring, scoring points that elevated him to 20th in the standings.

In the latter, a third place at Spa-Francorchamps and a further pair of podiums at Zandvoort meant that the Austrian driver placed seventh in the standings, although his campaign in the former would bear more fruit. After a pair of points finishes at Imola, Wurz would take his first podium at Misano, having fought for victory with teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli. More points came at Spa, before Wurz tasted champagne at Vallelunga, scoring a pair of third places. At the penultimate round in Monza, Wurz would take pole for Race 1, which he managed to convert into his first victory in the series, whilst also scoring a podium in Race 2 during a weekend that the Austrian described as having been "fantastic".
