Wera Tools, one of the world’s leading tool manufacturers, has today (March 12) been announced as the new title sponsor of the F4 British Championship, certified by FIA
Marking the start of an exciting multi-year agreement between the UK’s premier single-seater series and the global hand and power tool company, the championship will now be known as the “Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA” moving forward.
Founded in 1936, Wera Tools is an iconic hand tool brand operating globally from its headquarters in Germany, while also having subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland and North America. Since 2022, Wera Tools has been a partner of British Formula 4.
Wera Tools previously supported the series with investment in the Wera Tools British F4 Technical Centre, which has set the bar for paddock scrutineering and seen the Wera Tools Technicians’ Award presented at each weekend.
The forthcoming 2025 campaign will see continuation of the Technicians’ Award, while a number of new activations will also be rolled out. In addition, British F4 teams will benefit from special product deals while regular consumer competitions will run over the course of the year.
Wera Tools will be integrated across the championship identity of British F4, with branding set to feature on all cars, podium backdrops, driver overalls, television graphics, the Paddock Race Centre, F4 Technical Centre and more.
Ian Walford, Managing Director of Wera Tools UK, said: “We are delighted to become the title partner of the Wera Tools F4 British Championship.
“The championship is the best proving ground for young talent on these shores, not just behind the wheel, but in the garages also. Wera is a brand packed with innovation and there are clear parallels with the hard work and dedication put in by the mechanics, engineers and drivers fighting it out for the top step of the podium.
“We wish all of the teams and drivers the best for the 2025 season, and we can’t wait for lights out at Donington.”
Eve Lake-Grange, British F4 Championship Manager, commented: “British F4 is delighted to welcome Wera Tools UK as the new title partner of the 2025 Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by the FIA.
“It was evident that we share many values; Wera Tools being a high-quality premium brand with a commitment to innovating, and British F4 the premier single-seater championship in the UK, with extensive free to air television coverage on ITV4, large spectator audiences and where champions earn 12 FIA Super Licence points amongst a myriad of other prizes.
“Both organisations have a demonstrable track record investing and presenting opportunities to nurture young talent and, having enjoyed a successful partnership these past three years, both sides were eager to do more and build on those foundations.
“Additionally, Wera Tools has worked with the championship these past seasons to develop the British F4 Wera Tools Technical Centre, and we look forward to continuing to showcase their products in action and demonstrate their unique features to teams and guests of the British F4 paddock.
“We also look forward to working with Wera Tools on a number of exciting new activation opportunities, reinforcing their commitment to developing and delivering young talent.”
The 2025 Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA begins at Donington Park on April 26-27.
