Argenti Motorsport has made its fourth British Formula 4 signing for 2025, as karter Arjen Kraling joins its line-up.
The German will only contest a half-season, since he does not reach championship’s minimum age for entry of 15 years old until July. He will make his debut in round six at Zandvoort, which will be British F4’s second ever overseas event.
Kraeling will be team-mate to Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 junior Ethan Jeff-Hall, American karting graduate Henry Mercier and F4 Middle East race-winner August Raber.
“I am eternally grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to get behind the wheel of a F4 car so early,” said Kraling.
“In karting I was close, but always a little step behind drivers with more experience. I want to change that now. Argenti has given me this opportunity, and I want to prove that with hard work, passion, and the right support, no dream is too big. I’m very excited for my first car race and want to give back the trust they’ve placed in me.”
There have already been four pre-season tests which Kraling has participated in this year, with his karting career having already come to an end.
On OK Junior karts he came eighth in the CIK-FIA World championship and WSK Euro Series, ninth in Champions of the Future and WSK Final Cup, 11th in WSK’s Champions Cup and 16th in its Super Master Series, and 17th in the CIK-FIA European championship.
“We are very happy to welcome Arjen to the team,” Argenti’s team principal Michael Meadows said. “He has a very good karting pedigree and has shown a lot of progress and speed during his testing. As Arjen is currently 14, we look forward to seeing him race in Zandvoort onwards and until then will continue his testing programme.”
