British F4: Daniella Sutton joins CDR for 2026

Chris Dittmann Racing have announced that they have signed Daniella Sutton for the upcoming 2026 season.

The seventeen-year-old Warrington-based driver will make her British F4 debut next season after a successful junior career on her run up the ladder. Sutton started karting at the age of six, she would start karting professionally in 2021 racing in the Daniel Ricciardo UK Kart Championship where she became a two time rookie race winner before going on to win the Total Karting Zero UK North Championship in 2022. Sutton went on to win the inaugural BRSCC Fiesta Junior Scholarship in early 2024 where she raced over the last two season. She is currently on her way to take the Anita Taylor Saloons Championship this season as well.

Away from the track, Sutton is an Official Ambassador for the Juvenile Arthritis Research charity and We Racing. She is also a part of the British Women Racing Drivers Club as well as the BRDC’s Rising Stars programme. She has already completed a successful test at Snetterton with CDR and will join them after a successful 2025 campaign where they secured three victories and a handful of podiums.

With her signing, Daniella Sutton said: “I did a couple of days of testing with the team and I felt really comfortable with them. It’s important that you feel at home and I loved the vibe within Chris Dittmann Racing. They proved they can really mix it with the best after their success last season, so I’m happy I’m in the right place for my first year of single seaters.” She also confirmed that they will have some further testing lined up heading into the 2026 season.
