Theo Palmer Joins Hitech for Second British F4 Year

Theo Palmer, British F4

Theo Palmer will join Hitech GP for his second season in the Wera Tools British Formula 4 Championship in 2026. 

Palmer made his series debut with Xcel Motorsport in 2025 after an impressive karting career that began in the UAE at the Dubai Autodrome Karting Academy. He went on to collect multiple race victories across a range of UAE championships before moving to Europe, where he competed in X30 Senior and Rotax Max Challenge events, establishing himself as a standout talent among some of the continent’s best young drivers.

The Dubai-based Brit enjoyed a strong rookie campaign, earning a best finish of P6 and several top-10 results, along with two Rookie wins and 10 Rookie podiums, all despite joining the championship late. Due to the minimum age requirement of 15 for Formula 4 competition, Palmer was unable to partake in the opening round at Donnington and only made his debut at Round 2 at Silverstone GP.

Most recently, Palmer competed in Rounds 1 and 2 of the Saudi Arabian Formula 4 Championship alongside his future Hitech teammates Scott Lindblom and Chiara Bättig. He currently sits P7 in the standings, with a best result of P2 in Race 2 of Round 1.
