Profile

Sheikh Nasser Al Thani is a 16-year-old Qatari racing driver competing in both the 2026 Formula 4 Middle East Championship and the 2026 Formula 4 Great Britain Championship with Hitech GP, carrying car number 14. Driven by a singular ambition to become Qatar's first Formula 1 driver, Nasser represents a generation of Gulf motorsport talent rewriting what is possible for drivers from the region. His story is one of purpose, precision, and an unrelenting pursuit of the F1 grid.

Career Overview

Nasser's motorsport journey began on the karting tracks of Qatar, where what started as a childhood passion — sparked by a love of racing from an early age — rapidly evolved into a serious competitive pursuit. Racing with Birel ART in karting, he built the technical foundations and racecraft that would prepare him for the transition to single-seater competition.

That transition has taken him to some of motorsport's most iconic venues. With laps logged at Monza, Lusail, and Yas Marina, Nasser has already accumulated experience on circuits that few drivers his age have visited, forging the track knowledge and mental resilience that define top-level single-seater racing.

Now competing in Formula 4 on two fronts — the Middle East and Great Britain — Nasser is sharpening his craft against the best young talent in the world, week in, week out.

The Road Ahead

Nasser's trajectory is mapped with clarity and intent. Formula 3 in 2027. Formula 2 in 2028 to 2029. And Formula 1 in 2030 — representing Qatar on the global stage. Every session, every qualifying lap, every race is a calculated step towards that goal.

Philosophy and Vision

Nasser's approach to racing is built on discipline, dedication, and an obsession with improvement that traces back to his earliest days in karting. He races not just for personal achievement, but to put Qatar on the Formula 1 grid — a mission that gives every kilometre a greater meaning.

Beult is proud to represent Sheikh Nasser Al Thani, a driver whose ambition, pedigree, and clarity of vision make him one of the most compelling prospects in junior single-seater racing today.
