F4 Teams and Drivers
BRITISH F4
As a result, interest at the track has also grown and driver autograph sessions, which take place every Sunday outside the championship’ s race centre, are extremely well attended. The fact that series alumni Norris and Piastri are now fighting each other for the F1 title underlines the reality that British F4 is genuinely shaping the future – and for many race fans, getting a selfie or having a chat with their future heroes is what it’ s all about.
Speaking in a feature video on British F4’ s official YouTube channel – which now has more than 10,000 subscribers – race fan Finn McLaren said:“ I like watching junior series because it helps you notice the patterns of a great driver and allows you to meet who’ s going to be the big names in the future. It’ s such an in-person experience and the racing is fantastic and entertaining to watch.
“ The British F4 community is very welcoming, and I like how close fans can get to the drivers. They’ re all very lovely, very supportive, and because it’ s an open paddock, you can go and see the cars, say hi to everyone, see the engineers working on the cars and get autographs from potential future F1 stars. It’ s so surreal to walk through the paddock, see them in person and then see them on track racing.”
Fellow fan Jess Smith has turned her interest in the championship into a career as a content creator after building up a rapport with some of the drivers – check out her‘ favourite colour Skittles’ videos. Her journey began in 2023, when she was invited to a British GT race at Brands Hatch and met lots of drivers. The following year she started going to British F4 races as well as Ginettas and now spends most weekends away at racetracks.
“ The drivers, the community, the fans, it’ s all so welcoming and so accessible,” she said on the YouTube channel.“ A lot of motorsports, like F1, isn’ t as accessible because of how expensive it is, but British F4 is quite affordable for youngsters, and the junior drivers are so lovely to their fans. A lot of bigger drivers don’ t have as much time because they’ re so busy, but in British F4, the drivers will stop, and you can have a conversation with them.
