Nikita Bedrin
Nikita Vyacheslavovich Bedrin (Russian: Никита Вячеславович Бедрин; born 6 January 2006) is a Russian racing driver who last competed under the Italian flag in the Formula Regional European Championship for Saintéloc Racing.
Bedrin finished fourth in the 2022 ADAC Formula 4 Championship and is a race winner in Italian F4. He is a member of the DS Penske Driver Development Program in Formula E. He previously competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship from 2023 to 2025 for Jenzer Motorsport and AIX Racing.
Having started out his karting career in his homeland, Bedrin won the Russian Karting Championship twice before moving to Italy to compete on the more competitive European stage. His karting career proved to be a success, with him winning the Italian Championship in 2019 and the WSK Super Master Series in his final year of karting, 2020, as well as finishing fourth in the European Championship during the same year.
Bedrin graduated to cars in 2021, racing in the Formula 4 UAE Championship with Xcel Motorsport. He scored his first podium in the second round, taking third in race three, but would sustain a hand injury during the following round which would end his campaign prematurely.
Bedrin's main campaign would be in the Italian and ADAC F4 series, partnering Ollie Bearman, Joshua Dufek, Bence Válint and Han Cenyu at Van Amersfoort Racing. He would score points regularly in Italy, with the season highlight being a triple of podiums at Imola Circuit, where Bedrin was awarded the Race 3 victory after a disqualification for Bearman due to a technical infringement. A further third-placed rostrum in Mugello meant Bedrin finished eighth in the overall standings.
Over in Germany, Bedrin started the season with two podiums in the opening two rounds, before taking his first win in the campaign in Hockenheim. A second win during the final race during the Nürburgring season finale elevated him up to fifth overall. His frequent points finishes and flurry of podiums also brought him the rookie title in both championships.
The following year, Bedrin returned to the category, starting his season in the F4 UAE Championship, where he drove alongside Taylor Barnard and Jonas Ried for new team PHM Racing. His campaign proved to be a success, as he took two wins, one a piece in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which led the Russian on to finish fourth in the standings.
Bedrin would follow that up by returning to the Italian F4 and ADAC F4 series, once again driving for PHM. In the former, Bedrin took a pair of podiums but was hampered by an inconsistent end to the season, leaving him twelfth in the championship. Meanwhile, his season in ADAC Formula 4 would bear more fruit, as he finished fourth overall, with six podiums, including a lone win at a rainy Lausitzring, under his belt.
