Stoke teenager the next Oscar Piastri?

Available for over a year

Formula 1 is the dream for most teenage racing drivers but only a few ever reach that pinnacle of their sport. This season, eight drivers on the F1 grid are under the age of 25, showing the journey is achievable for young drivers. Yet breaking into the sport remains difficult for many, with experts saying the cost of entry-level racing continues to rise. One of those hoping to climb the ladder is Jamie Leverton, 17, from Stoke-on-Trent. After several successful seasons in karting at local and national level, he is preparing to make his debut in car racing, having secured a seat in the GB4 Championship with Idola Motorsport.
