🇵🇱 Julia Pankiewicz

Julia Pankiewicz is a Polish driver competing at a competitive amateur level, racing single-seaters in solo, single-class formula championships. She spent her career split between Formula Renault Eurocup and Italian F4, driving for Mark Burdett Motorsport and RB Racing respectively. She is now retired from racing.[1]

Her record runs from 2015 to 2017 across two series. She started in Italian F4 in 2015 with RB Racing, taking seventeen starts and finishing 26th in the championship standings that year. She then moved to Formula Renault Eurocup for 2016 and 2017 with Mark Burdett Motorsport, the team she raced for most often, adding twenty-two further starts there for a career total of thirty-nine.[2]

Both series she raced in mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals on the same grid, and her regular opposition reflected that: Robert Shwartzman, an established professional and 2019 Formula 3 champion, and Raul Guzman, an FIA Silver-graded entry-level professional with extensive Formula Renault Eurocup and Italian F4 mileage, were both frequent rivals she typically finished behind. Against that backdrop, she did finish ahead of Lando Norris once, the generational talent who won the 2016 Formula Renault Eurocup title among others, and also beat established professional Zhou Guanyu once.
