After a short career competing in China and Malaysia, Han made his European karting debut in Italy in October 2014, and would move to Rome the following year to further his karting career under the guidance of Super GT driver Andrea Caldarelli, former Formula One driver Vitantonio Liuzzi, and karting veterans Davide Forè and Felice Tiene.{{Cite web |date=27 August 2017 |title=意大利赛车场上奏起中国国歌 南京少年向"F1梦想"进发 |url=http://n.cztv.com/news/12649909.html |access-date=8 March 2024 |website=Xinlan (Zhejiang Media Group) |language=zh}}

That round also contained a barrel roll after colliding with Joshua Dürksen in Race 3,{{Citation |title=Joshua Duerkson & Cenyu Han {{!}} Formula 4 2021 Vallelunga | date=27 June 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIYB33lI3Bc |language=en |access-date=2022-05-26}} although the Chinese driver was able to bounce back with a point at Imola. Having missed the final two rounds of the season, Han finished 26th in the championship, being beaten by all of his full-time teammates.
