The Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA reaches the halfway point of the 2025 season at Oulton Park this weekend (21-22 June) and with the lead contenders separated by very little in the points, the battle for supremacy is only set to intensify
So far this year, the action in the UK’s premier single-seater series has been fast, furious and ultra-competitive – a statement that is reinforced by the fact that eight different drivers have won a race and a further six have stood on the podium.
Martin Molnár (Virtuosi Racing) arrives in Cheshire as the driver to beat – and he has momentum on his side too after claiming a maiden British F4 win at Thruxton last time out. The Hungarian will be a force to be reckoned with, and he’ll need to be given the calibre of the chasing pack.
Fionn McLaughlin (Hitech TGR) will be looking to bounce back from a frustrating weekend at Thruxton, while Jimmy Piszcyk (Rodin Motorsport) is eager to get back to winning ways as he tries to close the gap to the top.
August Raber (Argenti Motorsport) is another driver to have tasted the spoils of victory and he, along with Henry Joslyn (Fortec Motorsport) and Challenge Cup leader Tommy Harfield (Chris Dittmann Racing), are guaranteed to be ones to watch during this weekend’s triple-header.
Hot on the heels of the top six are a number of leading lights that will be aiming high; they include race winners Adam Al Azhari (Rodin Motorsport) and Leo Robinson (Hitech TGR), as well as Thomas Bearman (Hitech TGR) and Mercedes F1 Junior Ethan Jeff-Hall (Argenti Motorsport).
JHR Developments’ Rowan Campbell-Pilling has shown plenty of speed this year, but good fortune has so far alluded him – something he’ll want to change. He’ll be worth keeping an eye on; as will Donington Park race winner Chase Fernandez (Xcel Motorsport) competing at his home circuit this weekend.
Fernandez isn’t the only driver at Xcel Motorsport as joining the Ginetta Junior graduate is the talented trio of Theo Palmer, Cole Hewetson and Yuhao Fu. The stacked entry list doesn’t stop there though, with a number of other drivers that can have their say towards the front of the field.
Xavier Avramides (Hitech TGR), F1 Academy race winner and McLaren-backed driver Ella Lloyd (Rodin Motorsport), Henry Mercier (Argenti Motorsport), Alba Larsen (Chris Dittmann Racing) and Ary Bansal (Fortec Motorsport) – who debuted last time out at Thruxton – will all look to make their mark.
Qualifying for the C1RCUIT Watches Pole Position Award takes place at 11:25 on Saturday before Race 1 gets underway later that afternoon at 16:15. Two more races – at 13:05 and 16:05 – will then play out on Sunday.
Fans in the UK can tune in to ITV4 and ITVX to watch live on Sunday, while those following around the world will be able to watch Sunday’s races live on the official British F4 YouTube channel. – with the action being geoblocked to the UK and North America.
