David Beckmann
David Alexander Beckmann (born 27 April 2000) is a German professional racing driver who most recently competed in Cupra Kiro in Formula E. He previously competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship for Charouz Racing System, Campos Racing, and Van Amersfoort Racing.
Beckmann began karting in 2008, collecting major karting wins in 2009, 2012, and 2014. He remained in karting until 2014.
In 2015, Beckmann graduated to single-seaters in ADAC Formula 4 and Italian F4, racing with Mücke Motorsport. He ended the season fourth in Italian F4 and fifth in ADAC Formula 4, taking the latter rookie's championship.
In December 2015, Beckmann was announced to graduate to European Formula 3 for 2016, whilst continuing his collaboration with Mücke. Because of his age, Beckmann was forced to miss the season's first two rounds, making his debut at the third round at Pau. Nonetheless, Beckmann claimed a fastest lap and two podiums to finish seventh in the Rookie Championship and fifteenth overall. For 2017, Beckmann continued to race in European Formula 3, but switched to Van Amersfoort Racing. After three rounds where he failed to score a point with the outfit, Beckmann made a mid-season change to Motopark, where he fared better, amassing 45 points and ending up 16th in his second year in the category.
For 2018, Beckmann partnered with Juan Manuel Correa and Tatiana Calderón at Jenzer Motorsport in the final year of the GP3 Series. Having scored 12 points after the fourth round of the championship, Beckmann switched to Trident. His results improved drastically, and the German achieved three race wins and another podium, leading him to fifth in the standings.
In 2019, Beckmann competed for the French team ART Grand Prix in the newly formed FIA Formula 3 Championship.
In 2020, he returned to Formula 3, this time with Trident, and finished sixth overall after two wins and four further podium finishes.
In 2021, Beckmann moved up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship with the Czech team Charouz Racing System, where was joined by Guilherme Samaia. Throughout the first half of the season, Beckmann showed impressive performances, such as a third-place finish in his debut race at Sakhir and second place in race 2 in Baku, which, along with two further points finishes, propelled him to 13th in the standings after four rounds. At the start of September however it was announced Enzo Fittipaldi would replace Beckmann from the next round at Monza, due to the German having to shift his focus to the family business for financial issues. But just a few days before the start of that weekend, Beckmann signed up to race for Campos in place of Matteo Nannini. He competed for the Spanish team in the next two rounds, scoring a best finish of fifth at Monza, although Beckmann would ultimately be unable to finish his season, being replaced by Olli Caldwell. The German ended the campaign 15th in the standings.
