Prior to his debut, he 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. After a double podium in Jarama, he claimed a double victory the next round in Portimão, hauling into the title fight. 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.
