Career

Karting (2017–2022) Al Azhari has had a consistent karting career, but has not amassed any major karting titles in Europe. However, in his home country he was able to secure the IAME X30 Junior title in the 2020-21 season. In the previous year, Al Azhari finished runner up in the same category.

Formula 4 (2023–2024) 2023 Al Azhari began his racing career in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship for Yas Heat Racing Academy. He managed to score two podiums during the campaign, on his way to seventh in the championship.

Prior to his debut, Al Azhari won the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy, which saw him won a place in Spanish F4 with MP Motorsport, for his first single-seater season. He impressed at the start with a pole and podium during the first round in Spa-Francorchamps. That would be his only podium of the year, as he scored consistently and finished ninth in the standings.

2024 Al Azhari returned to Formula 4 UAE for 2024 Yas Heat Racing Academy. He managed to put himself into title contention alongside Freddie Slater and Kean Nakamura-Berta with a double victory in the second Yas Marina round. He headed into the final round in Dubai Autodrome as the standings leader. However, he failed to finish on the podium that weekend, which dropped him to third in the championship. He then moved over to Europe, returning to MP Motorsport for the last two rounds of the Formula Winter Series. Al Azhari made his mark, winning once and securing two podiums as he finished seventh in the championship despite missing the first two rounds.

Al Azhari remained in the 2024 F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport for his main campaign. He extended his lead with another win at Aragón, but title rival Mattia Colnaghi took a double win in Jerez and snatched the championship from Al Azhari. Despite a double podium during the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Colnaghi won twice again and took the crown, while Al Azhari finished runner-up in the championship.
