AND WHERE DO THEY RACE?

There are 20 drivers on the current Formula 1 grid, and some of them have been
at the top of motor racing for a very long time.
Some drivers even return to the cockpit of F1 machinery after time away because
they’re seen as a better option than giving a newcomer an opportunity.
But that’s not to say that teams aren’t scouting the next generation, as many
have their own junior programme with some consisting of drivers who weren’t even
born when Lewis Hamilton made his F1 debut, let alone Fernando Alonso!
Some of these ‘academies’ are more extensive in their training and budgetary
support and more effective than others, but at least it shows that the F1 elite
are keeping the door ajar for those who are good enough – and helping them on
their way.
So who are the crop of youngsters under the wings of the F1 teams, and where are
they racing?

RED BULL & RB CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Ayumu Iwasa - Super Formula
* Isack Hadjar - Formula 2
* Pepe Marti - Formula 2
* Arvid Lindblad - Formula 3
* Tim Tramnitz - Formula 3
* Oliver Goethe - Formula 3
* Enzo Deligny - Formula Regional European Championship
* Enzo Tarnvanichkul - Formula 4
* James Egozi - Formula 4
The Red Bull Junior Team is the most famous of them all. Under the stewardship
of the notoriously difficult-to-impress Helmut Marko, it’s been in existence for
over 20 years now, and has produced world champions Sebastian Vettel and Max
Verstappen plus grand prix race winners Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and
Pierre Gasly.
Alex Albon and Yuki Tsunoda are other graduates on the 2024 F1 grid, while
further alumni include Formula E champions Jean-Eric Vergne and Sebastien Buemi,
World Endurance and Le Mans conqueror Brendon Hartley, plus Daniil Kvyat and
Liam Lawson.
The junior programme currently has nine drivers with Super Formula's Ayumu Iwasa
being the most experienced. He was already a Honda protege when he was picked up
by the scheme in 2021 and Iwasa has since contested an F3 campaign, plus two
seasons in F2 which included finishing fourth in the 2023 championship. Iwasa is
now back in his home country of Japan competing for Team Mugen in SF, while the
Red Bull junior also drove an FP1 session for RB at Suzuka in 2024.
Iwasa was one of six Red Bull juniors on the F2 grid in 2023, but many have
since left the programme leaving just two of its drivers competing for the 2024
crown.
Isack Hadjar is one of them, who has already tasted F1 machinery having driven
for Red Bull in FP1 at the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and for AlphaTauri - now
named RB - in FP1 at that year's Mexico GP. Although those drives came alongside
a disappointing rookie season where he finished 14th in the F2 championship, his
sophomore campaign is going much stronger with victories in Melbourne and
Imola.
The second Red Bull junior in F2 is Pepe Marti, who joined the programme in
August 2023 having previously been one of Alonso's proteges. The Spaniard is
competing in his rookie F2 campaign, having contested F3 for two years which
included finishing fifth in the 2023 standings with three victories.
Red Bull now has three of its junior drivers in F3 with Arvid Lindblad and Tim
Tramnitz both being rookies of the series, while Oliver Goethe is in his second,
full campaign. Elsewhere, Enzo Deligny is contesting his rookie season in the
Formula Regional European Championship after finishing fourth in the 2023
Spanish F4 standings, which was his first year in the Red Bull programme.
But Red Bull's presence in that championship continues, as both James Egozi
and Enzo Tarnvanichkul are both contesting the 2024 Spanish F4 championship with
the latter being the latest Thai driver to be part of the programme after
Albon.

MERCEDES CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Frederik Vesti - European Le Mans Series
* Andrea Kimi Antonelli - Formula 2
* Alex Powell - Italian F4 Championship
* Yuanpu Cui - F4 British Championship
* Doriane Pin - F1 Academy
* Kenzo Craigie - Karting
* Luna Fluxa - Karting
In contrast to the Red Bull equivalent, the Mercedes Junior Programme is far
more selective. In keeping with its prime guiding hand Gwenael Lagrue, the
Frenchman who formerly ran the Lotus Junior/Gravity talent scheme, it is far
more subtle and its proteges bear little overt branding from the Three-Pointed
Star on their car liveries.
But the programme still has various success stories with two of its alumni,
George Russell and Esteban Ocon, both being grand prix winners.
Ocon was discovered by Lagrue when he was in charge of the Gravity scheme, and
he and Russell were among the first drivers he snapped up when he joined
Mercedes, the duo joining the encumbent Pascal Wehrlein who is now in Formula E
after two seasons in F1.
Ocon, of course, beat Verstappen to the 2014 European F3 title with Italian
junior single-seater giant Prema, so it’s little surprise that many Mercedes
juniors compete in cars that are all with the squad.
Frederik Vesti, for example, finished second in the 2023 F2 standings with Prema
and his spot at the team was given to Andrea Kimi Antonelli for 2024, as the
Dane moved to the European Le Mans Series while serving as reserve driver for
the Mercedes F1 outfit.
Antonelli is arguably the biggest talent to come through the Mercedes programme,
as the Italian has won four single-seater championships. This resulted in the
teenager skipping F3 to compete in F2, amid talk of him becoming Russell's
team-mate in the 2025 F1 championship as Hamilton is leaving the Silver Arrows
for Ferrari.
Mercedes also has Alex Powell and Yuanpu Cui competing in separate F4
championships, while kart racers Kenzo Craigie and Luna Fluxa are part of the
junior team as well. This year also saw the Silver Arrows sign Doriane Pin to
its programme, who is currently competing in F1 Academy alongside sportscar
duties in IMSA and the World Endurance Championship.
Oliver Bearman, Prema Racing, 1st position

FERRARI CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Oliver Bearman - Formula 2
* Dino Beganovic - Formula 3
* Rafael Camara - Formula Regional European Championship
* Tuukka Taponen - Formula Regional European Championship
* Aurelia Nobels - F1 Academy
* Maya Weug - F1 Academy
The Ferrari Driver Academy was previously quite top-heavy, but Mick Schumacher
has since gone his own way with Mercedes, Antonio Giovinazzi is now a Le Mans 24
Hours winner with the Prancing Horse, Robert Shwartzman and Callum Ilott are
also in WEC, while the latter previously did IndyCar which is the series Marcus
Armstrong competes in.
Among their predecessors in the FDA are Charles Leclerc and the late Jules
Bianchi, as well as Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and Zhou Guanyu.
Essex talent Ollie Bearman only joined the Maranello junior programme for 2022
following a double-title-winning season in F4, and very nearly claimed the F3
crown at the first attempt with Prema. This hastened his graduation to F2 at the
tender age of 17, with whom he finished sixth in his rookie season.
Bearman is also the only current Ferrari junior to have started a grand prix for
the Scuderia, as he replaced Carlos Sainz at the 2024 Saudi Arabian GP after the
Spaniard was diagnosed with appendicitis. Bearman impressed by finishing seventh
and he is now being lined up for an F1 seat somewhere in 2025.
Down one step in F3, Dino Beganovic had a positive rookie season finishing sixth
in the standings and is now contesting his second campaign with Prema in the
series this year.
On the next level down, Rafael Camara had a race-winning rookie campaign for
Prema in FRegional and he is competing in the series again this year. He is
joined in the championship by fellow Ferrari protege Tuukka Taponen, who has
already impressed in his rookie season as he scored a double victory in Hungary.
Ferrari also has a strong presence in the all-female F1 Academy, as it is
supporting Aurelia Nobels and Maya Weug with the latter claiming a double podium
in the Saudi Arabia season opener.

ALPINE CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Jack Doohan - No race programme
* Victor Martins - Formula 2
* Gabriele Mini - Formula 3
* Nikola Tsolov - Formula 3
* Sophia Floersch - Formula 3
* Matheus Ferreira - Italian F4
* Abbi Pulling - F1 Academy
* Kean Nakamura - Karting
The lifespan of the Alpine Academy pretty much spans that of the Red Bull Junior
Team – it’s just that it’s gone through numerous changes of identity, as well as
a hiatus in the early 2010s, to reflect the parent Enstone-based F1 team.
In its initial form, the drivers were competing in Renault’s single-seater
championships or with the F3 teams to which the manufacturer supplied engines –
those talents included Robert Kubica, Heikki Kovalainen and Jose Maria Lopez.
Romain Grosjean was another to enjoy patronage as a Renault junior.
After Renault returned to F1, youngsters on its books included Oliver Rowland,
Jack Aitken and the late Anthoine Hubert. There are also two graduates of the
programme on the current F1 grid with Zhou Guanyu now racing for Sauber, while
Oscar Piastri controversially broke away from Alpine to replace Daniel Ricciardo
at McLaren.
There is now an opportunity for the programme to have its third graduate on the
F1 grid next year, as Ocon is set to leave Alpine at the end of 2024. This could
potentially open the door for Alpine reserve driver Jack Doohan, who finished
third in the 2023 F2 standings.
Alongside him on the F2 grid was fellow Alpine protege Victor Martins, who
actually split from the scheme in 2020. Since his return, however, Martins has
proven to be an exciting talent by winning the 2022 F3 championship before
finishing fifth in his rookie F2 campaign which included taking victory in the
Silverstone feature race. The Frenchman is contesting his second F2 campaign in
2024.
Three drivers carry Alpine colours in F3. Most prominent among them is Sicilian
Gabriele Mini, who ran Ferrari-backed Dino Beganovic close for the FRegional
title in 2022. Bulgarian Nikola Tsolov won the 2022 Spanish F4 championship and
is with ART, while German Sophia Floersch competes for PHM Racing by Charouz.
At F4 level, Alpine has Brazilian Matheus Ferreira in the Italian series while
Abbi Pulling is in British F4 alongside a campaign in F1 Academy where she leads
the championship. Honour is upheld in karting by Japan’s Kean Nakamura.

WILLIAMS CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Franco Colapinto - Formula 2
* Zak O'Sullivan - Formula 2
* Luke Browning - Formula 3
* Alessandro Giusti - Formula Regional European Championship
* Jamie Chadwick - Indy NXT
* Lia Block - F1 Academy
* Oleksandr Bondarev - karting
* Sara Matsui - karting
The Williams Driver Academy is a relatively recent entity, although the team
historically took young talent under its wing and gave them F1 testing
programmes before hoisting them into the F1 squad – Damon Hill, David Coulthard
and Valtteri Bottas are three examples. So, effectively, Williams had an F1
junior team in all but name.
Since it was formalised, the Williams young-driver stable has featured Nicholas
Latifi, Aitken and Red Bull refugee Dan Ticktum and the current crop will no
doubt be hoping to surpass their predecessors.
Two of them were promoted to F2 for 2024 after a positive F3 campaign where Zak
O'Sullivan finished second last year, while Franco Colapinto was two positions
below.
Luke Browning, who like O’Sullivan is a winner of the Aston Martin Autosport
BRDC Young Driver Award, has shown sharp pace during his progression up the
single-seater ladder as he claimed the GB3 crown in 2022. He is now contesting
his second F3 campaign, while last year Browning also won the Macau GP.
Williams also has three-time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick on its books, who
moved to Indy NXT for 2023 before claiming her maiden victory in the series this
year. It is also supporting another highly-rated female talent, as Williams is
backing Lia Block in the 2024 F1 Academy season with the American having
experience in single-seaters and rallying.
Alessandro Giusti is flying the Williams flag in FRegional, as are Oleksandr
Bondarev and Sara Matsui in karting.

MCLAREN CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Pato O'Ward - IndyCar
* Ryo Hirakawa - World Endurance Championship
* Gabriel Bortoleto - Formula 2
* Alex Dunne - Formula 3
* Martinius Stenshorne - Formula 3
* Ugo Ugochukwu - Formula Regional European
* Bianca Bustamante - F1 Academy
As you can see, in some ways the McLaren Driver Development Programme works
differently to the rest of the F1 junior teams.
Its most experienced driver is Pato O’Ward, an IndyCar race winner who is
contesting his fifth, full season in the American series. He has also driven
McLaren F1 machinery having competed in FP1 for the 2022 and 2023 Abu Dhabi GPs.
At one stage, two-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou was also on the McLaren
programme but that relationship broke down after he lost trust in the team's
ability to find him a spot in F1.
Nevertheless, O'Ward is part of a growing McLaren Driver Development Programme
which has produced the likes of F1 world champion Hamilton and grand prix winner
Lando Norris. Ryo Hirakawa joined the programme in September 2023, a year where
he clinched his second, consecutive WEC title for Toyota.
The programme also includes F2's Gabriel Bortoleto, who joined in 2023 as well
during his F3 championship-winning campaign. There are two drivers currently
flying the McLaren flag in F3, as both Martinius Stenshorne and Alex Dunne
joined the programme at the beginning of the year.
There is also Ugo Ugochukwu, who joined the McLaren stable as a 13-year-old
karter before embarking on a successful start to his single-seater career which
included winning the 2023 Euro 4 Championship. The American is now competing in
FRegional, while McLaren is also supporting Bianca Bustamante in F1 Academy.

SAUBER CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Theo Pourchaire – No race programme
* Zane Maloney - Formula 2
* Lena Buhler - Formula Regional European Championship
* Carrie Schreiner - F1 Academy
* Taym Saleh - Karting
Sauber has a long history of awarding exciting, young talent their debut in F1
as 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa and Leclerc all started out
with the Swiss team.
The real find here is Theo Pourchaire. The Frenchman has been on the books since
his F4 days and is now reserve driver for the F1 team after clinching the F2
title in 2023 with ART Grand Prix. While that victory was unable to land him a
spot in F1 full-time, Pourchaire did move to SF but his time there only lasted
one race as he was subsequently signed by IndyCar's Arrow McLaren - but that
stint lasted for just one month as he was replaced by Nolan Siegel.
Its next big talent is F2's Zane Maloney, who joined the Sauber Academy in
January 2024. That came after finishing runner-up in the 2022 F3 championship,
before coming 10th in his rookie F2 season the following year. Things have
improved in his sophomore year though, as his first weekend as a Sauber junior
entailed claiming a double victory at the F2 season opener in Bahrain -
Maloney's first two wins in the series.
Beyond that, the Sauber Academy has slimmed down somewhat over the past couple
of years with only three other drivers part of the programme. Lena Buhler is
racing in FRegional, Carrie Schreiner is in F1 Academy and Sauber has Taym Saleh
in karting.

HAAS CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* No junior drivers
Haas has no official young driver programme, although it has looked after
youngsters such as Pietro Fittipaldi, Louis Deletraz and Santino Ferrucci in the
past and is supporting Chloe Chambers in F1 Academy.

ASTON MARTIN CURRENT YOUNG DRIVERS
* Felipe Drugovich - European Le Mans Series
* Jak Crawford - Formula 2
The AMF1 Driver Development Programme was new for 2023, and Felipe Drugovich
became its first member.
It was something of an anomaly that the Brazilian wasn’t affiliated to an F1
team as he crushed opposition – including a galaxy of F1 juniors – on his way to
the 2022 F2 title.
While Drugovich was unable to find a race programme for 2023, he did notch up
testing mileage with Aston Martin in F1 and has also been extremely rapid in
Formula E outings with Maserati. He finally found a race programme for 2024
though, as he is competing for Vector Sport in the LMP2 category of ELMS.
Jak Crawford became Aston Martin's next young driver, as the F2 driver joined
the programme at the beginning of 2024 after cutting ties with Red Bull. The
American is now in his second season of F2 after finishing 13th in his rookie
year, which included a victory at the Red Bull Ring. Although not officially
part of the young driver programme, Aston Martin is also supporting F1 Academy's
Tina Hausmann.
