Christian Mansell

Christian Mansell (born 9 February 2005) is an Australian racing driver, who is set to compete in the 2025 FIA Formula 2 Championship for Rodin.

For 2020 Mansell moved over to the United Kingdom to race full-time in the F4 British Championship, partnering Zak O'Sullivan and Matías Zagazeta at Carlin.

[10] In 2021, Mansell made his Euroformula Open Championship debut at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with Carlin[11] finishing all his races in the top six.

[24][better source needed] Mansell made his debut F3 appearance in the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship, at the Hungaroring with Charouz Racing System, replacing Zdeněk Chovanec.

[25][better source needed] Mansell returned to his main campaign at the Euroformula Open before the Zandvoort round and was replaced by David Schumacher.

[40] After a right choice to stay on dry tyres, Mansell climbed from seventh to third during the last lap, holding off a late charge from Caio Collet to achieve his maiden Formula 3 podium.

[43] The weekend at Spa-Francorchamps started on the wrong foot, qualifying 23rd and being involved in an incident in the sprint race where he received a puncture.

[56] Mansell endured a surprisingly uncompetitive round in Imola where he failed to score points,[57] but bounced back with a brilliant second in Monaco qualifying.

[58] He was eliminated in a first lap incident after Arvid Lindblad swiped across him in the sprint race, but he returned to the podium with another second place in the feature.

[61][62] After narrowly missing out on points in the sprint race, he led the feature until lap 5 where Arvid Lindblad overtook him, leading to Mansell settling for second place yet again.

[63] Mansell tussled for the lead in Austria with teammate Nikola Tsolov, but made an error by lifting too early during the safety car signal dropped him to third place.

[65] However, he was forced to endure a point-less weekend in Silverstone as a track limit penalty demoted him from fifth to 12th in the sprint, and unpredictable weather saw him on the wrong strategy in the feature.

[66] In Hungary, he qualified eighth, and an overtaking masterclass in both races secured fifth and fourth place, hauling him into title contention.

[67] However, a messy Spa-Francorchamps round followed, as he qualified down in 20th and was unable to score points in both races, even being penalised in the feature for taking Arvid Lindblad out.

[76][better source needed] Shortly after the F3 season finale, Mansell made his Formula 2 debut with Trident from the Baku round onwards, replacing Roman Staněk.

[78] Mansell qualified in 20th in Qatar, but a well-timed pit stop during the feature race allowed him to gain time on rivals ahead and he eventually finished in sixth place.
