Jonny Edgar

Born in Whitehaven, Edgar started his career in 2012, being in the fourth generation of Edgars to practice motor racing.[1] His karting highlight came in 2017, when he won the CIK-FIA European Championship in the OK Junior Class against the likes of Hadrien David, Zane Maloney and Jack Doohan.

In 2019, Edgar made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for Jenzer Motorsport, whilst also competing in selected rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship as a guest driver.[2] He scored two podiums, namely a second-place finish at Imola and third at Mugello. Edgar scored a further two pole positions and two fastest laps, and with 97 points the Red Bull Junior finished 10th in the standings.

Edgar would continue to race in both the Italian and German Formula 4 Championships, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the former. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jak Crawford. The British driver would end up winning the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points to Crawford, while in the Italian Championship he would finish fourth, despite missing two race weekends.

In October 2020 Edgar completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for MP Motorsport.[3] Later that month, the Dutch outfit once again fielded Edgar in the second post-season test at Jerez.[4] In December, Edgar partook in a test with the Carlin team at Algarve.[5] On the 15th January Edgar was announced to driver for Carlin in the 2021 championship.

In September 2017, Edgar was named as one of four new signings to the Red Bull Junior Team, alongside Dennis Hauger, Jack Doohan and Harry Thompson.[6]
