Rodin Motorsport has confirmed that McLaren Driver Development Programme member Ella Lloyd, will line up as their second driver for the upcoming 2025 British F4 season.

Competing in a dual campaign with the team, Lloyd was previously announced as the McLaren entry in F1 Academy.

This will be the Welsh driver’s sophomore year in the series having made her full time racing debut in the championship in 2024.

Lloyd joins a Rodin Motorsport Team who has a long and successful history in the British Championship having won multiple titles in the drivers and teams classification.

She returns to the Surrey based squad, having made her single seater debut with Rodin Motorsport in 2024 during a two round cameo appearance in the Formula Winter Series during which time she took female trophy classification wins in the championship.

For the 2024 season, the Welsh racer competed in the British Formula Four Championship where she finished the season with a total of four podiums and multiple points finishes along the way.

Speaking on this expanded programme, Lloyd said: “I’m extremely excited to announce that I will competing in the 2025 British F4 championship as a dual program alongside F1 Academy with Rodin Motorsport and McLaren, I can’t wait to return for my second season in single seaters and looking forward to seeing what we can do as a team.”

Benn Huntingford, Sporting Director, added, “It’s great to welcome Ella into the British F4 team this year. This dual programme will give her a lot of seat time and experience at this level, which will be fantastic for her development. She has shown brilliant promise so far and we are looking forward to seeing her develop this year.”
