Leo Robinson is returning for a second campaign in ROKiT British F4, making the move to 2024 Teams champions Hitech Pulse-Eight.
The Anglo-Algerian made a big impression on his 2024 debut with JHR Developments, finishing in a creditable sixth place in the Drivers’ Standings.
At 15 years of age, Leo is now embarking on his third season in car racing. In 2023 he became the youngest-ever race winner in Ginetta Junior. Mid-season, he switched to the Danish F4 Championship, scoring 10 podiums in 10 starts to become the best points scorer over the second half of the season. He secured fourth in the standings, despite only contesting half of the rounds.
Prior to moving into cars, Leo won a multitude of national and international karting titles. At seven years of age he clinched victory in the MSA Bambino Championship, and in 2019 he finished third in the IAME Euroseries and the World Final in Le Mans.
In 2020, on his 11th birthday, Leo became the youngest winner in a 125cc senior kart and won the Mini X30 title at the I-Games in Portimão. The following season he dominated the Mini X30 class in the UK, winning the British Championship, Kartmasters and the LGM Championship.
Later in 2021 Leo won the MENA Championship in Oman, representing his maternal nation, Algeria. He rounded out his record of karting success in 2022 by winning the Italian Championship in the OKJ class.
“I am delighted to be starting a new chapter racing with Hitech in 2025,” said Leo Robinson. “It will be my GCSE year which gives me a lot to focus on – but I know which challenge I am looking forward to most!”
“It’s great to have Leo join Hitech for 2025. We have followed his progress throughout the last season and he has proven that he has the speed to be at the front challenging for wins,” said Dominic Stott, Hitech GP’s British F4 Championship Team Manager. “Leo is still one of the youngest drivers on the grid but with a year in the championship already under his belt and plenty of preparation time over the next few months, we’re confident of another strong season for Leo and the team.”
