In 2022, Full Time Sports announced that Clerot would compete in the inaugural season of the F4 Brazilian Championship in 2022, where in 18 races, he won 7 races, and scored 4 pole positions, 7 fastest laps, 11 podiums and add 276 points. As a result, he became the first driver's champion of the new F4 championship. ^{[3] [4]} Clerot also participated in the FIA Motorsport Games in the Formula 4 category with Team Brazil, ^{[5] [6]} managing to qualify twice in fourth place. However, he finished in ninth position in the main race due to a 5-second penalty for having exceeded the limits of the track on 6 different occasions. ^[7]
