Dries van Langendonck had already made the British Formula 4 title unassailable before the final Brands Hatch round was over. The 16-year-old Belgian took second in the opening race, with two races still to run.

Van Langendonck races for Rodin Motorsport and has won eight times this season. Since July, he has also been part of Verstappen Racing, receiving support and guidance from four-time world champion Max Verstappen and his management team. He is also in McLaren’s Driver Development Programme.

Van Langendonck said he felt a little nervous but not under much pressure, and had focused on finishing without unnecessary risks. He also credited Rodin, saying the team had done the best overall despite finding some circuits more difficult than others.
