The highest-ranked American in the pipeline to F1 is a Texas native with multiple F2 wins under his belt. The pressure to perform couldn't be higher.
Formula 1 has had a shaky relationship with American drivers. Despite Liberty Media’s extensive efforts to capture the $69 billion US sports market, the historically Euro-centric sport hasn’t produced a competitive American driver this century. Jak Crawford, the highest ranked American in the pipeline to F1, hopes he can change that. The 19-year-old, raised on the go-kart tracks of Texas, has secured two wins and 10 podiums throughout his Formula 2 career, currently racing for DAMS Lucas Oil.
” “I realised there was no path for me into a race seat ,” Crawford explained. “There were too many guys - a lot of really good ones - so I figured it was best that I left.” He went on to join the Aston Martin Development Program, where he’s eyeing a 2025 reserve role with the team and, if all goes to plan, a 2026 race seat. Crawford has already started learning from veterans of the sport within Aston Martin.
