Jonny Edgar

2019

In 2019, Edgar made his car racing debut in the Italian F4 Championship, driving for Jenzer Motorsport, whilst also competing in selected rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship as a guest driver.^[3] He scored two podiums, namely a second-place finish at Imola and third at Mugello. Edgar scored a further two pole positions and two fastest laps, and with 97 points the Red Bull Junior finished 10th in the standings.

2020

Edgar would continue to race in both the Italian and German Formula 4 Championships, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic he would only compete part-time in the former. He signed for Van Amersfoort Racing, partnering fellow Red Bull Junior Team member Jak Crawford. The British driver would end up winning the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with a gap of just two points to Crawford, while in the Italian Championship he would finish fourth, winning at Imola and the season finale in Vallelunga, despite having missed two race weekends.^[4][5]

2021

In October 2020 Edgar completed the first post-season test at Catalunya, running for MP Motorsport.^[6] Later that month, the Dutch outfit once again fielded Edgar in the second post-season test at Jerez.^[7] In December, Edgar partook in a test with the Carlin team at Algarve.^[8] At the start of January, Edgar was announced to drive for Carlin in the 2021 season, partnering Ido Cohen and Kaylen Frederick.^[9] He qualified 12th and thus started on pole on his debut as a result of reverse grid, and finishing that race in fifth place gave him his first points in Formula 3. The Briton's most successful round came at the Red Bull Ring where he, after only qualifying in 18th place, finished sixth, fifth and tenth in the races respectively. Unfortunately, Edgar didn't manage to score any further points after that round and ended up 18th in the standings, having scored all but two points of Carlin that year. However, in September 2021, Edgar was nominated for the Autosport BRDC Award and was selected as one of the four finalists together with Louis Foster, Ollie Bearman and eventual winner Zak O'Sullivan.^[10][11]

2022

In November 2021, Edgar switched to reigning team champions Trident for the post-season test at Catalunya, driving alongside Roman Staněk and rookie Zane Maloney.^[12] After further testing during the winter, Edgar was confirmed with the Italian outfit in January for the 2022 season.^[13] Having been picked as one of the title favourites, it was a surprise when Edgar finished outside of the top ten in both races of the opening round. However, he later revealed that he had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which caused major weight loss during the winter and made driving immensely difficult.^[14][15] Edgar opted to pull out of the championship following that round, claiming that he "[needed] to take some time out to prioritise [his] health.^[16] After missing the rounds at Imola and Barcelona, the Brit returned for the fourth round at Silverstone, having "improved sufficiently" to return to racing.^[17][18] In the feature race, he scored his first points of the season with an eighth-place finish.^[19] He would continue his points-scoring form into the following round in Austria, where he ended up seventh in the sprint race, however a collision caused by Caio Collet at the Safety car restart in the feature race prevented another points finish. A scoreless round at Budapest came next, although Edgar would finish off the season in a positive manner, scoring points in all of the remaining six races, being the only driver to manage this feat.^[20] Edgar ended up twelfth in the standings, having helped Trident to the runner-up spot in the teams' championship and become the highest placed driver to have missed at least two rounds.

After the end of the season, Edgar took part in the post-season test, partnering Franco Colapinto and Mari Boya at MP Motorsport.^[21][22][23]

2023

Edgar remained in Formula 3 for the 2023 season, this time moving to MP Motorsport after a successful test.^[24] However, much as the Briton had hoped to start the season off strongly, he was only able to collect two points during the first four rounds of 2023.^[25] Despite persistent qualifying struggles, Edgar would eventually return to the top ten, finishing fifth and sixth in Austria.^[26] More top-ten finishes came in the subsequent two events, with a highlight being fourth during the Spa sprint race, before Edgar managed to take his maiden victory in the category at Monza, managing to stay in the lead even after a last-lap safety car restart.^[27] He finished the year in 13th position overall, being beaten by teammate Colapinto, who ended up fourth.^[28]
