ESMEE KOSTERMAN Scores First British F4 Points in Recovery Drives at Snetterton

May 28, 2025

• ESMEE KOSTERMAN made a last-minute return to British F4 at Snetterton for just her second weekend and immediately proved she belongs in the field. Starting from 21st in Race 1, she delivered a masterclass in racecraft, gaining eight positions to finish 13th – her best result to date. The Dutch driver showed impressive car control and positioning awareness, capitalizing on incidents ahead while maintaining clean racing throughout.
• The breakthrough moment came in Race 2, where KOSTERMAN scored her first championship points despite challenging conditions and an early setback. After spinning on the formation lap and damaging her front wing – highlighting just how treacherous the damp track was – she bounced back with another strong start, gaining four positions to finish 18th and finally get on the points board.
• What’s most impressive is how quickly KOSTERMAN is adapting to British F4’s competitive midfield battles. In qualifying, she showed consistent improvement throughout the session, and her race pace in the 1:52s-1:54s range kept her competitive with more experienced drivers. Unfortunately, contact from another driver ended her final race early, but her ability to make up positions in both completed races confirms she’s a quick learner who maximizes every opportunity.
