For the first time ever, F1 and the main feeder series, F2, F3 and F4 will be in action on track at the same time. Where and when this will take place? During the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

"The Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA is delighted to confirm that it will make history this summer as the UK’s premier single-seater series makes a guest appearance at the 2025 Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix at Silverstone," reads a statement in the F4 website.

F4 is 'the start of the pathway to F1 racing' according to the site and boasts McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris as some of its illustrious graduates.

"The appearance at the Silverstone Formula 1 event will be a non-points scoring round for the championship and will consist of two 25-minute plus one-lap races, with track action taking place across Friday, Saturday and Sunday," continued the statement.

'F4 youngsters will see the roadmap of their future first-hand'

Eve Lake-Grange, British F4 Championship Manager, reacted with obvious glee at the news.

“It goes without saying that this is a real milestone moment for everyone that is involved with the Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA."

“To have the opportunity to compete on the support bill of Formula 1 at the British Grand Prix is something that we’ve been working towards for a long time, so we are delighted to have been able to now make it happen."

“We pride ourselves on being the first step on the pathway to Formula 1 and for our drivers to be able to see the potential career roadmap that is ahead of them – on the same weekend that they are competing – will be both special and inspiring."

“The level of interest that we’ve had for this non-championship event has been incredible so far and we’re shaping up to confirm a bumper, ultra-competitive grid. There is no bigger stage than Formula 1 and we’re all incredibly excited to put on a show for the hundreds of thousands of fans that will be in attendance at Silverstone in July.”
