Oliver Goethe[a] (Danish: [oˈliˀvɐ ˈkøːtə], German: [ˈɔlivɐ ˈɡøːtə]; born 14 October 2004) is a Danish-German racing driver based in Monaco, who is set to compete in the 2025 FIA Formula 2 Championship with MP Motorsport.

Goethe made his international karting debut in 2019, where he raced in both the European and World Championships in the OK-category, both of which he failed to finish.

Goethe progressed into the Formula Regional European Championship in 2021, partnering Franco Colapinto and fellow F4 graduate Kas Haverkort at MP Motorsport.

[6] Goethe's only other points finish came at the second race at Zandvoort, where he ended up in tenth place, and the Dane came 23rd in the overall standings, twelfth-highest of all rookies.

[7] At the first round at Estoril, the Dane qualified on pole for the first race, but lost multiple places at the start after a slow getaway, although he would recover to finish third later on.

[23] He dropped from pole position at the start but remained in the top ten throughout the race, ending in eighth after a last-lap collision between Arthur Leclerc and Jak Crawford, giving him three points on his debut.

[28][29] Goethe returned to his main campaign in the Euroformula Open for the final two rounds of the season and was replaced by Sebastián Montoya.

[32][33][34] On 2 December 2022, it was announced that Trident signed Goethe on a full-time basis for the upcoming FIA Formula 3 Championship alongside Gabriel Bortoleto and Leonardo Fornaroli.

[39] This began a trend of four scoreless events, being stopped only when Goethe managed to take his maiden win in the series at Silverstone, where he converted a front-row starting spot to victory after passing teammate Fornaroli.

[41][42] The final round at Monza began in a curious manner, as the German was awarded pole position after causing a session-ending red flag via a crash at turn seven; moments before, Goethe had set the fastest laptime of qualifying.

[51] Following two points-scoring events in Bahrain and Melbourne, the German-licensed driver won the Imola sprint race, being reinstated as the victor after initially being penalised for a safety car infringement.

[52] He charged through from seventh to first during the feature race, having benefited from an engine issue for Fornaroli, though a later overtake by Sami Meguetounif resulted in second place for Goethe at the flag.

[54] The streak of consecutive points finishes continued until the sprint race in Silverstone, where Goethe caused a collision with Max Esterson and retired from Saturday's contest.
