David Hamilton is a semi-professional driver whose brief racing record sits at the competitive amateur level, with a Racer Rating of 3,126. His career encompasses a single-seater programme in the Star Mazda Championship across 2003 and 2004, during which he made three starts for Formula Cars East without securing a win or podium finish. His average result across those races was P23.7, indicating consistent mid-to-back-field running in a field containing established professionals and former champions.[1]

Hamilton's head-to-head record against his rivals tells a mixed picture typical of a driver on the periphery of a professional series. He finished ahead of several stronger drivers on single occasions, notably Michael McDowell, the 2004 Star Mazda champion and an FIA Gold-graded professional, as well as former Star Mazda champion Moses Smith and other front-running competitors. However, across the three shared races with McDowell, Smith, Ryan Justice, and Jamie Bach, Hamilton trailed each of them twice and beat them once, establishing no clear pattern of competitiveness. He proved unable to match Luis Schiavo, the 2003 Star Mazda champion, finishing behind Schiavo in all three meetings. The record shows a driver capable of occasional competitive moments in a strong field but unable to establish himself as a consistent threat.[2]

Hamilton's racing activity ended in 2004. The recent headlines appear to reference a different racing context unrelated to his single-seater career and may not pertain to this driver's record.
