Grégoire Saucy (born 26 December 1999) is a Swiss racing driver and the current champion of the Formula Regional European Championship.[1]
Career[]
V de V Challenge Monoplace[]
Saucy's first year in single seaters was in 2016 when he drove for Luxembourger team RC Formula in the V de V Challenge Monoplace. The 3 podiums Saucy scored on his way to 4th in the championship were all second places in the three races at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours.[2]
ADAC Formula 4[]
Saucy raced his first season in ADAC Formula 4 in 2018 where he raced as a guest driver for Jenzer Motorsport like he did the year previously in the Italian F4 championship. In the two races he raced he finished 11th and 5th. In 2019 he raced for R-ace GP where he finished on the podium twice. Saucy ended the season in 9th, 28 points behind his Russian teammate Michael Belov.[3]
Italian Formula 4[]
Jenzer Motorsport signed Saucy to race for them 2017 as a guest driver in the Italian F4 Championship. In the 6 races he partook in, Saucy finished in points scoring positions twice both at Mugello Circuit. In 2018 Saucy once again raced Jenzer until the final race of the season where he made the switch to the French team R-ace GP, his best result was 5th while he also scored a double pole position at round 3 in Monza. Following on from the last race of 2018, Saucy drove for R-ace GP in 2019 where he finished the season in 15th while only competing in 3 rounds.[4]
Formula Renault Eurocup[]
Saucy's first year in Formula Renault was in 2017 when he raced for AVF by Adrian Valles. Saucy raced in the final two rounds in the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup season for R-ace GP where he finished 5th in his first race and 12th in the next 3. In 2020 Saucy raced for ART Grand Prix alongside Paul Aron and Victor Martins, where he came seventh in the standings, having finished on the podium on two occasions.[5]
Formula Regional European Championship[]
For 2021, Saucy remained with ART Grand Prix competing in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, the merger of the Formula Renault Eurocup and the Formula Regional European Championship. His teammates are Gabriele Minì and Thomas ten Brinke.[6] He started the season off in a dominant fashion, winning the second race of the season at Imola and following that up with two victories in Barcelona.[7][8] After a point-less round in Monaco and a disqualification from the lead in France, courtesy of a part having been reassembled in the wrong direction following post-race scrutineering, he returned to winning ways in the second race at Paul Ricard.[9][10][11] The Swiss driver dominated the next weekend at the Zandvoort Circuit with two pole positions and two race wins.[12][13] Saucy started the first race at Spa-Francorchamps in 24th courtesy of a mixed-up qualifying session, but he was able to fight back to eighth by the checkered flag.[14] He started the second race from pole and achieved his seventh victory of the season.[15] In the seventh round of the campaign Saucy one again scored a race win, this time inheriting the top step of the podium after a penalty was handed to initial winner Franco Colapinto for track limit breaches.[16] Saucy scored his first podium that was not a win in the next round, coming third in race 2 in Valencia, and went into the penultimate round with a 78-point gap on his closest rival Hadrien David.[17] He then finished the first race at Mugello in fifth place, and with his French adversary ending up 23rd, Saucy was crowned champion with three races left to go.[1] Saucy ended the season with a total of eight victories, eight podiums, 277 points and ten podiums, meaning that he stood on the podium after precisely half of all races.
FIA Formula 3 Championship[]
In November 2021 Saucy partook in the post-season test of the FIA Formula 3 Championship with ART Grand Prix, partnering Victor Martins and Juan Manuel Correa.[18] A few days after the test he was announced by ART to be one of the team's drivers for the 2022 season.[19]
