ESMEE KOSTERMAN Nails British F4 Debut With 11th Place at Silverstone

May 6, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ESMEE KOSTERMAN made an impressive British F4 debut at Silverstone, securing 11th place in race one after gaining eight positions from her starting spot. The Dutch driver showed excellent racecraft, capitalizing on others’ mistakes while defending against more experienced competitors in the closing laps to narrowly miss a top-10 finish.
The JHR Developments driver demonstrated consistent improvement throughout the weekend, starting 20th in qualifying but making strong starts in all three races. Her ability to gain positions on opening laps – despite limited single-seater experience – highlighted natural racing instincts that should serve her well as she builds experience in the competitive British F4 field.
KOSTERMAN completed all three races cleanly without damage, finishing 11th, 19th, and 18th respectively while banking valuable experience against seasoned competitors. Her diverse background from Indian F4, Lamera Cup, and BMW M2 Cup racing translated well to British conditions, setting up promising momentum for her next outing at Zandvoort in July.
