15-year-old Hampshire driver Jesse Phillips finished fourth in this year’s Ginetta Junior Championship with nine podium finishes, and has kept busy since by making his British F4 debut at the Brands Hatch season finale. He was also the series’ Winter Series champion last year.

Prior to his Ginetta graduation, he’d dominated karting, with titles including the British and Bambino Kart Club Champion, British Karting Champion in 2022, and the IAME Winter Cup and Euro Series in 2023.
