Career Karting and single-seater debut (2016–2024) Hanna began karting at the age of seven. During his karting career, in which he was coached by Juan Pablo Montoya, he most notably won the WSK Open Cup and Trofeo Delle Industrie in 2022, whilst racing in the OK-J class.
Hanna made his single-seater debut at the end of 2024, racing for Prema-run Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited in the Formula Trophy UAE. In the three-round series, Hanna scored a best result of fourth in the season-ending round at Yas Marina en route to seventh in points.
First full-time year in single-seaters and maiden wins (2025) Remaining with Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited for the 2025 F4 Middle East Championship, Hanna scored his first podium in single-seaters at the third Yas Marina round by finishing second in race two, which helped him secure the rookie title and sixth overall.
Hanna then moved to the Prema mainteam for the rest of 2025, competing in both the Italian F4 and E4 Championships. Opening up the season by qualifying on pole at Misano, Hanna then took his maiden Italian F4 podium by finishing second in race one, before closing out the weekend by finishing fourth and third in the other two races. Following that up with a third podium of the season at Vallelunga by finishing third in race four, Hanna then finished third in race three at Monza, but dropped to 30th after being given a 25-second penalty for causing a collision with Dante Vinci. A difficult weekend at Mugello then ensued, before he returned to the podium at Imola by finishing second in race one, a feat he repeated in the following round at Barcelona. In the season-ending Misano round, Hanna took his sixth and final podium of the season in race two as he ended the year fourth in points as the rookie champion. In E4, Hanna began the three-round season by finishing tenth in race one at Le Castellet. After not scoring points in the other two races, Hanna finished no lower than sixth in the following round at Mugello and was the highest finishing rookie in all three races. Hanna then scored his only podium of the season in race three at Monza by finishing second to Kean Nakamura-Berta en route to a seventh-place points finish.
During 2025, Hanna also joined Virtuosi Racing for a part-time schedule in the F4 British Championship. On his debut round at Thruxton, Hanna took his maiden win in single-seaters in race three ahead of his teammate Martin Molnár. Hanna then made his second and final appearance of the season in the British Grand Prix-supporting Silverstone round, dominating the weekend as he won both races.
Formula Regional (2026) The following year, Hanna returned to Prema Racing-run Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited to step up to the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy. In the four-round winter series, Hanna scored his first win in Formula Regional competition in race two at Dubai en route to a tenth-place points finish. For the rest of 2026, Hanna remained with Prema to race in the Formula Regional European Championship. In his only season in the series, Hanna took three podiums between the Zandvoort and Monza rounds, before taking his only win of the season in the reverse-grid race at Imola to end the year seventh overall.
FIA Formula 3 (2026) Hanna competed in a one-off round in the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Championship during the Austrian round, taking over the injured Brad Benavides' seat at AIX Racing. He returned for another appearance with the team in the Budapest round.
