🇧🇪 Dries Van Langendonck

Dries Van Langendonck is a professional driver competing in the British F4 Championship for Rodin Motorsport as part of the McLaren Driver Development Programme. At a rating of 4,009, he sits at entry-level professional; a driver capable of winning races and running at the front in a national single-seater field, though not yet at the established level. He competes solo in single-class racing against a mixed amateur and professional grid.[1]

Van Langendonck has raced 11 starts across the 2025 and 2026 seasons in British F4. He has taken two wins and two podium finishes. The 2026 season remains in progress after three rounds, in which he has claimed one win and one podium so far. He has beaten professional-graded drivers including Jimmy Piszcyk, who has 58 British F4 starts, twice, and Ethan Jeff-Hall, a regular opponent with 31 starts in the series, four times across their head-to-head meetings.[2]

His typical competition includes Jeff-Hall, with whom he runs closely matched, and Henry Mercier, a semi-professional with whom Van Langendonck usually finishes ahead. Rodin Motorsport, his team, has fielded 50 drivers across the index and has won 62 races; its strongest driver on record is Leonardo Fornaroli, an elite professional. Van Langendonck has recently been signed by Verstappen Racing ahead of the McLaren season finale.
