Carlton Jackston "Jak" Crawford (born 2 May 2005) is an American racing driver who is due to compete in the 2024 Formula 2 Championship for DAMS, having previously raced for Hitech Pulse-Eight in 2023. Before that, He competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship for two years, finish the latter year seventh in 2022 with Prema Racing. He was a member of the Red Bull Junior Team and finished as runner-up in the 2020 ADAC Formula 4 Championship.

Career

Karting

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Crawford started his karting career in 2011 after he moved to the Houston, Texas area. He competed in multiple championships, predominantly in North America, winning the Challenge of the Americas - Junior Rotax Series among others.[1] In Crawford's first overseas karting race in 2014 at the Rok Cup International Championship, while only 9 years old, he finished second. Other international karting competition was mostly sporadic but generally successful.

Lower formulas

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.

Road to Indy

U.S. F2000

In April 2019, Crawford joined DEForce Racing to contest part of the 2019 season as he was not old enough to start the racing season.[3] In July, he switched to Cape Motorsports to contest the final five rounds and ended the season seventh in the standings.[4]

Euroformula Open

In March 2021, it was announced Crawford would race with Motopark in the 2021 season alongside his FIA Formula 3 commitments.[5]

Formula Regional

2022

In January 2022, Crawford partook in the Formula Regional Asian Championship with Prema ahead of their FIA Formula 3 campaign together.[6]

2023

Crawford partook in three rounds in the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Hitech Grand Prix before his main 2023 campaign.[7]

FIA Formula 3 Championship

2021

Crawford driving the Dallara F3 2019 during the 2021 Spielberg Formula 3 round.

In October 2020 Crawford completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for Hitech GP.[8] 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.[9][10]

2022

Crawford driving for Prema Racing during the 2022 Spielberg Formula 2 round.

In November, Crawford joined Prema Racing, which had taken fellow Red Bull junior Dennis Hauger to that year's title, for the post-season test.[11] In January 2022, Crawford was confirmed with the Italian outfit for that year's championship.[12]

FIA Formula 2 Championship

2023

Crawford tested for Hitech Grand Prix in the 2022 post-season Yas Marina F2 test.[13] In January 2023, it was announced that Crawford would be reuniting with Hitech for the 2023 Formula 2 Championship, partnering Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar.[14] Following a point-less first round, the American managed to qualify tenth at Jeddah, securing himself pole position for Saturday's sprint race, though he was unable to capitalise on said starting spot and dropped to ninth by the checkered flag.[15] Another front row start in Australia heralded Crawford's maiden podium; the second-place finish was described as "a good confidence boost" by Crawford, who praised the team's improvement compared to the opening pair of events.[16] The feature race brought little success, as Crawford crashed into the wall owing to him being forced into the gravel by Jack Doohan.[17]

2024

For the 2024 season, Crawford made the transition to DAMS.[18]

Formula One

In January 2020, Crawford was named as a new signing for the Red Bull Junior Team.[19] He departed the junior squad after four years.[20]
