Highly rated British driver who made his Indycar debut in 2021. A member of the Ferrari academy, he is a test driver for their Formula 1 car. Callum was immensely successful in karting and moved up to European Formula 3 in 2015, aged only 16. He took his first victory a year later at Paul Ricard, before then going on to win 6 races in 2017 to earn the move up to GP3. He moved into Formula 2 in 2019 before coming a very close second to Mick Schumacher in the 2020 series. Whilst waiting to race in Formula 1, he has been driving in Ferrari sportscars. Sportscars appears to be his future as he raced in Indycar for two seasons, but then moved the World Endurance Championship full-time. He made a brief Indycar return at the start of the 2024 season and returned there full-time in 2025.
