British F4 set for historic 300th race at the Home of British Motor Racing

British F4 set for historic 300th race at the Home of British Motor Racing

The Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA, will write another chapter in its illustrious history later this week (2-3 May) as the UK’s premier single-seater series celebrates its 300th race at the Home of British Motor Racing, Silverstone.
 

Formerly known as MSA Formula, the championship was launched in 2015 and in the subsequent decade since it has established itself as the most prestigious open-wheel category in the country, with stars of the future from across the globe coming to compete.
 

Renowned for producing edge-of-the-seat entertainment, British F4 has also been a career launchpad for countless stars such as current Formula 1 trio Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Jack Doohan, IndyCar’s Colton Herta, Formula 2’s Luke Browning and Alex Dunne, plus many more.
 

One week on from an action-packed opening weekend at Donington Park, the Class of 2025 will hope to follow in their footsteps and three solid results around the world-famous Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit will undoubtedly help their cause in doing just that.
 

Making the first of two visits to the Northamptonshire venue this year, Silverstone’s challenging layout provides the perfect setting for Rounds 4, 5 & 6 of what is already shaping to be an ultra-competitive campaign.
 

That statement is reinforced by the fact that drivers from six different teams occupy the top-six positions in the Drivers’ Championship, and out front, it is Chris Dittmann Racing’s Tommy Harfield who is enjoying having the early bragging rights.
 

Tallying a brace of podium finishes last weekend, Harfield, who also leads the Challenge Cup, heads to Silverstone holding a two-point advantage over race three winner James Piszcyk (Rodin Motorsport) while Martin Molnár (Virtuosi Racing) is a further two points in arrears.
 

Both August Raber (Argenti Motorsport) and Chase Fernandez (Xcel Motorsport) also stood on the top step of the podium at Donington Park, and both drivers are within striking distance of the standings summit in fourth and fifth respectively.
 

Of course, with just one meeting in the books, the battle for supremacy is still wide open, and there will be a number of drivers in addition to those already mentioned that will be eager to make their mark around the challenging 3.660-mile circuit this weekend.
 

Fionn McLaughlin (Hitech TGR) scored a podium on his debut outing, and he is the leading rookie, while Rowan Campbell-Pilling (JHR Developments), Leo Robinson (Hitech TGR) and Ethan Jeff-Hall (Argenti Motorsport) all showed plenty of promise as well.
 

Elsewhere, Joel Bergström (JHR Developments) will be hunting for more silverware after starring at Donington Park, whilst Thomas Bearman (Hitech TGR), Xavier Avramides (Hitech TGR) Charlie Edge (Chris Dittmann Racing), and Donington polesitter Henry Joslyn (Fortec Motorsport) will be ones to watch. Also on the entry list for this weekend’s triple-header is Adam Al Azhari (Rodin Motorsport), Cole Hewetson (Xcel Motorsport), Henry Mercier (Argenti Motorsport) and Yuhao Fu (Xcel Motorsport).
 

In addition, Silverstone provides the setting for Polish racer Piotr Orzechowski to make his debut in the UK’s premier single-seater series as he links up with Chris Dittmann Racing. Esmee Kosterman will also make her British F4 bow with JHR Developments, while Theo Palmer of Xcel Motorsport will turn 15 and is therefore able to race after sitting out the opening weekend at Donington.
 

Qualifying for the C1RCUIT Watches Pole Position Award takes place at 12:25 on Friday before Race 1 gets underway later that afternoon at 17:05. Races two and three will then play out on Saturday at 10:50 and 15:35 respectively.
