Dutch rising star Felipe Reijs has signed to drive for MP Motorsport in the 2026 F4 Spanish Championship. The 15-year-old from Eindhoven will graduate to single-seaters after completing a first year in cars in the Ginetta Junior Championship.
Following a competitive season in the Ginettas, in which Reijs honed his skills in race cars, he completed his first racing miles in single-seaters by taking part in the late-2025 UAE Formula Trophy for Formula 4 cars, where he joined his future team mate Kasper Schormans and fellow MP driver Nina Gademan on the grid.
His 2026 F4 Spanish Championship challenge will be Reijs’ first full season of single-seater racing, as he lines up for MP’s six-car attack with Schormans, Louis Cochet, Rocco Coronel and Borys Łyżeń among his team-mates.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to be able to join one of the top teams at Formula 4 level”, said Reijs, “Racing as a Dutchman for a Dutch team will surely help my transition to single-seaters, and fighting for places in the extremely competitive Spanish Championship will accelerate my learning curve even further. I’m ready for it, and I can’t wait to get going with the team!”
“We are proud to welcome Felipe to our 2026 F4 Spanish line-up”, said Sander Dorsman, MP Motorsport’s team principal, “He has quickly progressed through the karting ranks and has only just turned 15. Now he’s coming to us with a season of car racing already under his belt, bringing experience that will stand him in good stead for his debut season in Formula 4.
"We are looking forward to embracing him in the family environment of our Spanish team, along with the other youngsters that we signed up. It will be a delight to watch them grow as the season develops.”
Despite a relatively late start to his karting career at the age of 11, Reijs soon managed to achieve multiple podiums in the Rotax Max Challenge and a season of X30 Karting, after which he progressed to European OK-N Junior level, highlighted by a stellar P2 qualifying performance in the 2023 Road to the OK-N World Cup at Franciacorta.
