Career[]

Karting[]

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Crawford started his karting career in 2011 after he moved to the Houston, Texas area. He competed in multiple championships, predominantly in North America, winning the Challenge of the Americas - Junior Rotax Series among others.^[1] In Crawford's first overseas karting race in 2014 at the Rok Cup International Championship, while only 9 years old, he finished second. Other international karting competition was mostly sporadic but generally successful.

Lower formulae[]

In 2018, Crawford made his car racing debut in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship, driving for Scuderia Martiga EG.^[2] He won six races, and with eight further podiums the American driver finished second in the Series behind Manuel Sulaimán.

Crawford raced in the German and Italian Formula 4 Championships in 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the latter. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jonny Edgar. The American driver would end up finishing second in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points behind Edgar, while in the Italian Championship he would finish sixth, despite missing two race weekends.

Road to Indy[]

U.S. F2000[]

In April 2019, Crawford joined DEForce Racing to contest part of the 2019 season as he was not old enough to start the racing season.^[3] In July, he switched to Cape Motorsports to contest the final five rounds and ended the season seventh in the standings.^[4]

Euroformula Open[]

In March 2021, it was announced Crawford would race with Motopark in the 2021 season alongside his FIA Formula 3 commitments.^[5]

FIA Formula 3 Championship[]

In October 2020 Crawford completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for Hitech GP.^[6] Later that month, the British outfit once again fielded Crawford in the second post-season test at Jerez and confirmed him for the 2021 season in January the following year.^[7]^[8]

In November, Crawford joined Prema Racing, which had taken fellow Red Bull junior Dennis Hauger to that year's title, for the post-season test.^[9]

Formula One[]

In January 2020, Crawford was named as a new signing for the Red Bull Junior Team.^[10]
