Sean Gelael (born 1 November 1996) is an Indonesian racing driver who spent six seasons in GP2 and FIA Formula 2 before finding greater success in endurance racing. He raced GP2 with Carlin in 2015-2016, scoring his first podium at the Red Bull Ring in 2016 on his way to 15th.
Formula 2
Gelael contested the new FIA Formula 2 era from 2017. With Pertamina Arden in 2017 he finished 15th (17 points). Moving to Prema Racing for 2018-2019, he took a podium at Monaco in 2018 and finished 15th, then 17th the following year. A final season with DAMS in 2020 was cut short by injury, ending 21st. Across his F2 years a recurring pattern of accidents and technical failures held back his results, and his father announced after 2020 that he would not continue in the category.
During this period Gelael also served as a Scuderia Toro Rosso test driver from 2017 to 2019, taking part in testing and several Friday practice sessions without racing in Formula 1.
After F2
Gelael reinvented himself in sportscars, taking class results at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including second in class in LMP2 in 2021 and in LMGT3 in 2024 - a more successful chapter than his single-seater years delivered.
