JackAitken

Jack Aitken is a British-Korean racing driver who reached Formula 1 as a Williams reserve, making a one-off grand prix start in 2020. The bulk of his single-seater career played out across four campaigns in the FIA Formula 2 Championship (2018–2021).

Formula 2

Aitken arrived in F2 in 2018 with ART Grand Prix as a Renault academy driver, taking his maiden win in the Barcelona sprint and finishing 11th overall. He moved to Campos Racing for 2019, his strongest season: feature-race victory in Baku plus sprint wins at his home Silverstone round and at Monza carried him to fifth in the standings, scoring 159 of Campos' 189 points.

He stayed with Campos in 2020, taking a double podium at the second Silverstone round, and that year joined the Williams Driver Academy as reserve — which led to his Formula 1 debut at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, stepping into the Williams seat vacated when George Russell was loaned to Mercedes. In 2021 Aitken returned to F2 part-time with HWA Racelab as an injury/replacement stand-in, with a best finish of ninth in a Monaco sprint.

After F2 Aitken built a successful sportscar career, including GT and endurance racing, while retaining his F1 reserve links.
