Noah Malling Strømsted (born 29 July 2007 in Copenhagen) is a Danish racing driver and Mercedes Junior Team member who established himself in the FIA Formula 3 Championship across 2024 and 2025 and continues with Trident in 2026.
The climb
Strømsted began his car racing in the F4 Danish Championship in 2021, finishing runner-up aged 15 with nine wins — and remarkably a race winner at just 14, a sign of the precocious speed that has followed him up the ladder. Two campaigns in Spanish F4 followed (seventh in 2023) before a strong rookie year in the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) with RPM in 2024, where he claimed the rookie title and finished sixth overall, doing enough to attract Mercedes and a place on its junior programme.
Formula 3
Strømsted made his FIA Formula 3 debut at the 2024 Monza finale with Campos Racing, stepping in for Oliver Goethe and impressing on debut. That earned him a full-time promotion for 2025, this time with Trident, where as a Mercedes junior he lined up alongside Charlie Wurz and FRECA champion Rafael Câmara at one of the grid's strongest teams. The season delivered his breakthrough: he took his maiden F3 win in the Spa-Francorchamps sprint — a dominant drive heading a Trident one-three across the line — and finished sixth in the drivers' standings with 84 points, comfortably the best of his junior career to that point.
2026 / current season
Strømsted stayed with Trident for 2026, carrying car #4 in a line-up that also features Freddie Slater and Matteo De Palo. The campaign has been a frustrating start to a year that promises more: after three rounds (Melbourne, Monaco, Barcelona) he sits 15th with nine points, with the leading edge of the field headed by Campos's Ugo Ugochukwu. Penalties at Monaco and a hydraulics retirement from second place in the Barcelona Sprint cost him a stronger haul. With a proven team behind him and a maiden win already banked, the rest of 2026 is about converting that Spa-winning speed into a consistent run at the front.
