Christian Mansell (born 9 February 2005) is an Australian racing driver competing in the International GT Open for Team Motopark.

An open-wheel racing product, Mansell placed third in GB3 and Euroformula Open before competing in FIA Formula 3 from 2022 to 2024, when he finished fifth for ART Grand Prix. He was scheduled to step up to Formula 2 for Rodin Motorsport in 2025, but withdrew due to personal reasons.

Mansell's highest karting career finish in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship came in 2019, where he achieved 69th in the OKJ category.

In 2019, Mansell made his single-seater debut in the New South Wales Formula Race Car Championship. He also raced in two rounds of the Australian Formula 4 Championship with AGI Sport and finished all but one race in the top seven. As Mansell was a guest driver, he was not classified in the standings.

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. Whilst the Australian only managed to score one win at the Brands Hatch Circuit, in contrast to O'Sullivan's nine over the course of the season, he did score four more podiums, which included two third places and a second place at the final round, finishing seventh in the championship. Mansell won the season's Rookie Cup with a 61.5 point gap to Frederick Lubin.

Mansell stayed on with Carlin in 2021, progressing to the renamed GB3 Championship. He took his first win of the season in the reversed grid race at the opening round in Brands Hatch, overtaking six cars over the course of the race. His next win came at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Mansell scored a further three podiums to finish third in the standings.

In 2021, Mansell made his Euroformula Open Championship debut at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with Carlin finishing all his races in the top six. Mansell returned to Euroformula but with Team Motopark during the penultimate round at Monza, finishing third in the first race. He was retained for the Barcelona stage, where he achieved two more points finishes to complete the season 11th overall.

Mansell remained in the series for the 2022 season, partnering Vladislav Lomko and Josh Mason at CryptoTower Racing. He took the opening victory of the season at the Estoril Circuit, and claimed two second places at the next round in Pau, which included his only pole of the year, before a run of four straight podium finishes including a win. His third win came at Hungaroring in the final race. Four more podiums in the next two rounds came, before a double retirement in the penultimate Monza round.[better source needed] The first retirement was a serious crash with Francesco Simonazzi where he was launched skywards. He claimed a podium in the final round and finished third in the standings, having taken fifteen podiums.[better source needed]
