Sheffield’s rising star, Rowan Campbell-Pilling, continued his impressive debut season in F4 by taking two more trophies at Thruxton. The ROKiT British F4 certified by the FIA season continued for its fourth round at Thruxton, in Hampshire, last weekend.

Taking two more trophies on the Rookie podium this weekend, Rowan, who drives for the Phinsys by Argenti team and is a Motorsport UK Academy Driver, has currently won more trophies than anyone else in the championship.

The thrilling weekend saw the 17-year-old driver overtake more than any other Rookie in the championship combined.

By building on the successes of the earlier rounds, Rowan finished inside the top 10 once again in his races, strengthening his Rookie championship campaign, and closing the gap between his team mate, Yuan Pu Cui, the Mercedes F1 Junior driver.

Rowan said: “We’ve had a great weekend at Thruxton – it’s one of my favourite circuits and great for overtaking.

“As a team, we’re enjoying making the progress up the grid and just want to keep the momentum going as we continue learning, gaining trophies and making the most of the season.

“Next weekend, we’re at Silverstone and it’s due to be a really exciting round.”
