FinnishSimo Laaksonen (born 10 September 1998) is a Finnish former racing driver whose last single-seater campaign came in the inaugural 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship with MP Motorsport.
Laaksonen reached the new-for-2019 FIA F3 series off the back of a rookie GP3 campaign in 2018 with Campos Racing, where his highlight was a podium finish in Abu Dhabi. MP Motorsport announced him as its first confirmed signing for the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and he took part in early testing of the new car at Magny-Cours. His season was disrupted by a crash at Spa-Francorchamps, after which he was released by the medical staff. Laaksonen did not establish himself in the category and the campaign marked the end of his time at this level of the FIA ladder.
