Career

Karting

Born in Charlotte, Crawford started his karting career in 2011. He competed in multiple championships, predominantly in North America, winning the Challenge of the Americas - Junior Rotax Series among others.[1]

Lower formulae

In 2018, Crawford made his car racing debut in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship, driving for Scuderia Martiga EG.[2] He won six races, and with eight further podiums the American driver finished second in the Series behind Manuel Sulaimán.

Crawford raced in the German and Italian Formula 4 Championships in 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the latter. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jonny Edgar. The American driver would end up finishing second in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points behind Edgar, while in the Italian Championship he would finish sixth, despite missing two race weekends.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

In October 2020 Crawford completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for Hitech GP.[3] Later that month, the British outfit once again fielded Crawford in the second post-season test at Jerez and confirmed him for the 2021 season in January the following year.[4][5]

Formula One

In January 2020, Crawford was named as a new signing for the Red Bull Junior Team.[6]

USF2000

In April 2019, Crawford joined DEForce Racing to contest the 2019 season.[7] In July, he switched to Cape Motorsports to contest the final five rounds and ended the season seventh in the standings.[8]
