JHR Developments have further bolstered their ranks with the return of Joel Bergström for a 2025 campaign in Wera Tools British F4.
Hailing from Piteå in northern Sweden, the 17-year-old has made a name for himself as one of the country’s most promising young drivers. Over the past seven years, he has raced extensively across Europe, achieving strong results in the highly competitive OK class of the WSK series.
Joel’s breakthrough came in 2021 when he claimed the Swedish OKJ title and clinched victory in the Junior category during the debut season of the electric-powered Rotax E20. These accomplishments secured him a spot in the prestigious Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, where he was crowned Rotax Project E20 Junior Champion. He also proudly represented Sweden at the FIA Motorsport Games that same year.
Last season he joined JHR Developments in British F4, taking part in four race meetings and recording an impressive three Rookie Cup victories and six podiums in total.
Joel Bergström: “I’m excited to get back out on track and, with more experience under my belt and the team familiarity we’ve built, I believe we can aim for strong results. I learned a lot last year and arrive at Donington Park much better prepared—we have every chance to fight at the front.”
Steven Hunter, Team Principal: “We’re pleased to have Joel back with us at JHR Developments. He showed solid pace and a strong work ethic last season, with three Rookie victories, and while the British F4 field is always highly competitive, we’re hopeful he can be in the mix and aiming for consistent finishes as he continues to develop.”
