Hedley's career began in British Formula 4 in 2020, where he took eight wins and fifteen podiums across two seasons for Fortec Motorsports, a team that has fielded 164 drivers including Charles Leclerc. He moved into GB3 in 2021 and raced there consistently through 2024, finishing 13th in the 2024 standings with two podiums from twelve rounds. His transition to Formula 3 began in 2024 and continues into 2025, where he has competed in the multiclass grid across Europe.[2]
