Adam
Al Azhari
Car No.3

Adam began his motorsport journey at the age of seven, taking championship honours in his first season of karting in the Rotax Max Challenge UAE – Micro Max category. He progressed through the WSK, Rotax, and IAME junior and senior ranks, signing off a strong karting career with victory in the IAME Middle East Cup – X30 Senior.

The Emirati driver stepped up to single-seaters in 2024 with a part-season campaign in the F4 Spanish Championship, where his talent was evident early on as he scored his first points. He added further results to his tally that winter in Formula Trophy UAE, where he secured podium finishes at Dubai and Yas Marina to conclude the series sixth overall.

Adam is embarking on his second full season in single-seater competition, building on a standout debut in British F4 last year in which he claimed three victories and three runner-up podiums. He took his first win at Silverstone before adding further victories at Snetterton and Knockhill, along with three additional podiums, to finish sixth in the championship standings.

The 16-year-old bookended his first full season with campaigns in the F4 Middle East Championship at the start of the year, followed by the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship, where he claimed two victories, three additional podiums and two pole positions en route to securing the series’ vice-champion honours.

Adam enters the 2026 F4 British Championship season off the back of a competitive winter campaign in the UAE4 Series.

Kin Lindblom
Car No.5

Scott stepped into cars for the first time in 2025, quickly adapting to Ginetta Junior machinery and demonstrating strong pace throughout the season. In preparation for his single-seater debut, he 15-year-old began by testing his wings in the F4 Saudi Arabian Championship this autumn, with five podiums and a victory in the eight races so far. His progression into British F4 is the next major milestone in his career as he continues his climb up the junior formula ladder, and Formula Trophy UAE is the perfect preparation for that.

Before moving into cars, Scott built an outstanding record in karting. Born in Falun, Sweden, he began at age five and rapidly progressed through Swedish national categories and into international competition. In 2023 he secured a bronze medal in the FIA Karting World Championship – OK Junior, proving his ability on the global stage.

In 2024 he stepped up into the OK Senior class at just 13 years old and took the title in the prestigious WSK Euro Series, dominating the season with victories in all his heats, Prefinals and Finals. That same year he was selected by Red Bull’s driver programme following the Red Bull Driver Search test and quickly became one of their standout junior talents – a sign of his ambition and talent.

Chiara
Bättig
Car No.6

In her first full season in single-seaters, Chiara steps up to cars with a distinguished karting résumé. Based in Zürich, she claimed her third consecutive Swiss Karting Championship in OK Junior in 2024, dominating the field with eight victories in fifteen outings.

Internationally, the 16-year-old has one strong performance after another to her name: in the CIK-FIA European Championship she took pole position in OK at Campillos in 2025 and featured prominently in the qualifying heats. In August she joined the Red Bull Junior Team after a standout performance at the Red Bull Driver Search event at Estoril, where she drove single-seater machinery for the first time, with her pace and adaptability shining through.

To prepare for her first full season racing cars, Chiara competed in the five-round F4 Saudi Arabian Championship. In British F4, she will look to build on this experience – not only to accelerate her development, but also to inspire young female drivers pursuing a similar pathway into the sport.

Palmer
Car No.7

Theo began his motorsport journey at the age of nine at the Dubai Autodrome Karting Academy, rapidly advancing through the junior IAME and Rotax categories. His talent was evident early on as he claimed multiple race wins in regional UAE championships.

The 15-year-old then expanded into Europe, competing in the X30 Senior and Rotax Max Challenge event, with notable successes including a top-eight finish at the 2024 Kartmasters Grand Prix (Junior X30) and consistent performance in European Open competitions. These results demonstrated his ability to compete at a high level against some of the continent’s best young drivers.

In 2025, Palmer stepped up to British F4 mid-season, adapting quickly to single-seater machinery and showing maturity on the UK circuits. His first experience in F4 laid a solid foundation, and now, joining Hitech, he is looking to build on the learnings and target strong championship results in 2026.

British F4

THE CAR

Concept

The British F4 Championship uses the Tatuus T-421 chassis, powered by a 1.4 litre, turbocharged Abarth engine and was introduced as the latest generation of F4 car in 2022.

All cars run Pirelli control tyres and are performance-equalised by Neil Brown Engineering to ensure fairness across all cars, thus putting driver talent front and centre.

Chassis
  • ⁠ ⁠Homologated car weight: 555kg (w/out driver and fuel)
  • ⁠ ⁠Wheelbase 2800 mm
  • ⁠ ⁠FIA defined Weight-to-Power ratio  3,6 kg/bhp
Engine and Gearbox
  • ⁠ ⁠Abarth ATM 414-F4 gen 2
  • ⁠ ⁠1370 cc turbocharged
  • ⁠ ⁠4 cylinders in line
  • ⁠ ⁠6300 rpm max rev
  • ⁠ ⁠270 Nm @ 4000rpm
  • ⁠ ⁠175bhp @ 5500 rpm (subject to car weight)
  • ⁠ ⁠140mm 2-disc sintered clutch
  • ⁠ ⁠Full stress dry-sump and chassis bracket designed by Autotecnica Motori
  • ⁠ ⁠Six-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifts
Survival Cell, Safety Cell, and Safety Structures

The Halo-style cockpit protection device affords heightened cockpit safety and the car also benefits from strengthened anti-intrusion panels. Complemented with on-board in-car signalling and marshalling systems, the British F4 car can lay claim to being the safest of its kind worldwide.

Tyres

British F4 uses Pirelli P Zero racing slick tyres in line with the rest of the single-seater pathway, ensuring a relevant education for drivers before they graduate to other Pirelli-shod categories further up the ladder to Formula 1.
