Career

Karting

Staněk began karting internationally in 2014, competing in the 60 MINI category until 2016. The following year he moved up to OK Junior, and in 2018 he took part in the Karting World Championship in the OK category.[3]

Lower formulae

Staněk made his single-seater debut in early 2019 at the last round of the Formula 4 UAE Championship, as a guest driver for Dragon Racing.[4]

For the main season he combined the ADAC Formula 4 and Italian F4 championships, driving for the Sauber-backed US Racing-CHRS team in both. Eventually racking up three race wins and nine podiums across the two series, he was especially successful in the former, where he finished 4th in the standings and won the rookies' championship ahead of Mercedes junior Paul Aron. He starred at the opening round in Oschersleben, getting a 2nd place and a commanding race 3 win which saw him take the lead in the championship.[5][6] His other two victories of the season came in the ADAC F4 Nürburgring and Italian F4 Imola rounds.[7][8]

Formula 3

Staněk was originally due to drive for the Prema Powerteam in the 2020 Formula Regional European Championship, but later switched to FIA Formula 3 with Charouz Racing System prior to the season opener, replacing the outgoing Niko Kari and becoming the youngest driver in the championship.[9][10][11] With no previous testing, he struggled throughout the season, his sole points-scoring finish coming at the penultimate round in Monza.[12]

For the 2021 season, Staněk is set to join Hitech Grand Prix and will race in the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship and 2021 F3 Asian Championship.[2][13]

Formula One

Staněk was a member of the Sauber Junior Team in 2019.[14]
