Jonny Edgar (born 13 February 2004) is a British racing driver, member of the Red Bull Junior Team and the 2020 ADAC Formula 4 champion. Edgar is currently racing in FIA Formula 3 with Carlin.

Career[]

Karting[]

Born in Whitehaven, Edgar started his career in 2012, being in the fourth generation of Edgars to practice motor racing.[1] Edgar began his karting career with Fusion Motorsport in Britain, finishing second in the Super 1 National Championship just three years after his debut. He also won the SKUSA SuperNationals that year, driving for Team Benik. His karting highlight came in 2017, when he won the CIK-FIA European Championship in the OKJ-category on his first attempt, having raced against the likes of Hadrien David, Zane Maloney and Jack Doohan. In Edgar's final year of karting he managed to finish third in the WSK Super Master Series.

Lower formulae[]

In 2019, Edgar made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for Jenzer Motorsport, whilst also competing in selected rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship as a guest driver.[2] He scored two podiums, namely a second-place finish at Imola and third at Mugello. Edgar scored a further two pole positions and two fastest laps, and with 97 points the Red Bull Junior finished 10th in the standings.

Edgar would continue to race in both the Italian and German Formula 4 Championships, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the former. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jak Crawford. The British driver would end up winning the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points to Crawford, while in the Italian Championship he would finish fourth, despite missing two race weekends.[3][4]

FIA Formula 3 Championship[]

In October 2020 Edgar completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for MP Motorsport.[5] Later that month, the Dutch outfit once again fielded Edgar in the second post-season test at Jerez.[6] In December, Edgar partook in a test with the Carlin team at Algarve.[7] On the 15th January Edgar was announced to drive for Carlin in the 2021 season, partnering Ido Cohen and Kaylen Frederick.[8] He qualified 12th and thus started on pole on his debut as a result of reverse grid, and finishing that race in fourth place gave him his first points in Formula 3. The Briton's most successful round came at the Red Bull Ring where he, after only qualifying in 18th place, finished sixth, fifth and tenth in the races respectively. Unfortunately, Edgar didn't manage to score any further points after that round and ended up 18th in the standings, having scored all but two points of Carlin that year.

In November 2021, Edgar switched to reigning team champions Trident for the post-season test at Catalunya, driving alongside Roman Staněk and rookie Zane Maloney.[9]

Formula One[]

In September 2017, Edgar was named as one of four new signings to the Red Bull Junior Team, alongside Dennis Hauger, Jack Doohan and Harry Thompson.[10]
