British Formula 4 has attracted six extra drivers for its non-championship round on the British Grand Prix support bill this weekend.
The two-race event at Silverstone will have a 26-car grid, and the majority of the entrants are drivers who have already raced in British F4 this year.
Hitech GP will be the largest team on the grid with five cars, having added Nina Gademan to its line-up. The 21-year-old Dutch racer previously drove for the team in the F4-based Formula Winter Series this year, coming 15th in the standings in a part-time campaign.
She raced in British F4 last year with Fortec Motorsports and failed to get a top-10 finish, and has also done five rounds of the all-female F1 Academy series so far. Last time out in Montreal she claimed her first two podiums.
Fortec will run four cars this weekend as it brings in Emily Cotty. After picking up three weekends of single-seater racing experience last year, she joined R-ace GP for a double programme in 2025. She came 21st in F4 Middle East and is currently 36th in Italian F4.
Her team-mates in Italy are Guy Albag and Alexander Savinkov, and they will be joining Rodin Motorsport and Virtuosi Racing respectively for British F4’s non-championship round.
Albag, 16, debuted in F4 earlier this year with a FWinter Series cameo and is 33rd in the Italian F4 standings. Savinkov is eight places higher, and is in his second year of single-seater racing.
He had points-free Italian F4 and FWinter Series campaigns with AKM Motorsport in 2024, but has proven more competitive with R-ace this year as he came 11th in F4 Middle East with two sixth place finishes.
Chris Dittmann Racing’s three-car Silverstone line-up is completed by Ava Dobson, who has USF2000 experience at home in America but is also familiar with the track she will race on this weekend as she is currently 22nd in Britain’s GB4 championship.
The final addition to the entry list is Jaber Al Sabah, who after testing an F4 car for the first time last month will make his race debut. He has previously karted in the United Arab Emirates.
