Rising star to step up from international karting to single-seaters at Zandvoort
Argenti Motorsport has confirmed the signing of promising young talent Arjen Kräling for the 2025 Wera Tools British F4 Championship, certified by FIA. The 14-year-old German driver will make his debut at the Zandvoort round in July, after celebrating his 15th birthday the day before the event.
Kräling’s motorsport journey began after an early career in professional ski racing in Austria. At age 12, he switched disciplines and quickly climbed the karting ranks, becoming German vice- champion in the ADAC Kart Masters (Mini 60 category) in his first season. He then spent two seasons in the ultra-competitive OK-Junior class with the Kart Republic works team under Dino Chiesa, delivering consistently strong performances at the international level. Among his career highlights are an 11th-place finish at the 2023 World Championship in Franciacorta and 8th place at the 2024 World Championship at PFi in the UK.
“I am eternally grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to get behind the wheel of a Formula 4 car so early,” said Kräling. “In karting I was close, but always a little step behind drivers with more experience. I want to change that now. Argenti has given me this opportunity, and I want to prove that with hard work, passion, and the right support, no dream is too big. I’m very excited for my first car race and want to give back the trust they’ve placed in me.”
Kräling has already begun preparing for the jump to single-seaters with an intensive winter testing programme. His speed and development have impressed the team, and he continues to build confidence with every outing in the Tatuus F4 car.
Team Principle Michael Meadows says “We are very happy to welcome Arjen to the team. He has a very good karting pedigree and has shown a lot of progress and speed during his testing. As Arjen is currently 14, we look forward to seeing him race in Zandvoort onwards and until then will continue his testing program”.
The 2025 British F4 Championship kicks off in April, with Kräling joining the grid in July. He aims to use the remainder of the season to gain experience ahead of a full campaign in 2026.
