Joseph Smith has joined Virtuosi Racing for his first full season in Wera Tools British F4 in 2026.
The 16-year-old from Cambridgeshire impressed in his first year in single seaters, competing in the final four rounds of the 2025 championship with Hitech TGR.
His highlight came at Silverstone National where he clinched a Rookie win and a best-placed race finish of sixth.
Joseph showcased his ability to adapt quickly, making a strong transition from Ginetta Juniors – where he was running fourth in the standings before switching to British F4 – and the team is confident that his skill, determination and rapid development will make him a strong contender next year.
Mark Salmon, Team Manager: “I am delighted to welcome Joseph into our team for the 2026 season. We have been testing since the end of the 2025 season, and he has really impressed me with his speed and attitude. I’m excited to see what next season holds for the both of us.”
Joseph Smith: “I am excited for the opportunity to join Virtuosi Racing in my first full season competing in British F4. I will be working hard to build on the progress I have made this year so that together we can fight for the championship in 2026.”
