British Formula 4 race-winner Alex Berg has confirmed a switch to GB4 for 2025 with Graham Brunton Racing.
Berg briefly raced for GBR in Formula Ford 1600 as a Team Canada scholar in 2023. He finished 13th at the FFord Festival and retired from the final of the Walter Hayes Trophy.
The 18-year-old spent three years racing in the USA between 2021 and ’23, starting out in the Mazda MX-5 Challenge Cup before moving into single-seaters in United States F4. There, he came fifth in 2022 and seventh the following season, taking one win and seven other podiums.
His second single-seater triumph came last year in British F4 at Thruxton, and he finished the campaign 14th in the standings for Fortec Motorsports.
“I am very excited to join Graham Brunton Racing for the 2025 GB4 season, “ said Berg. “After the most challenging race season of my life in 2024, I’ve spent the off-season reconstructing myself, building self-confidence, and most importantly, putting together the budget to come back stronger than ever in 2025.
“Ever since I raced for Team Canada in the FFord Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy with GBR in 2023, I’ve always dreamed of the chance to come back to the team and I’m extremely grateful for Craig and Graham’s kindness and their willingness to work with me!
“We are delighted to welcome Alex back into the team,” added GBR’s team principal Craig Brunton. “He competed in the FFord Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy under the Team Canada Scholarship in 2023 so we know him well.
“He’s a real engineer driver, always thinking about how the car is working under him, and I think the new 2025-spec GB4 car will really suit him.”
Berg, whose father Allen raced in Formula 1 for Osella in 1986, will drive alongside Mayer Deonarine and Callum Baxter at GBR in an all-Canadian line-up. He is the third son of a former F1 driver to confirm his place on this year’s GB4 grid, joining Luca Magnussen and Dayton Coulthard.
