Lirim Zendeli is a professional driver who raced single-seater championships across nine seasons from 2016 to 2024. He won the 2018 ADAC Formula 4 title with US Racing, CHRS, his primary team across 40 of his 142 career starts. A Silver-graded driver in endurance racing, he went on to compete in Formula 3 and Formula 2 before finishing his indexed career in 2023 USF Pro 2000, where he took a win and finished sixth in the championship.[1]
His breakthrough came in ADAC Formula 4, where he took 13 wins and 19 podiums across three seasons in a field mixing amateurs with graded professionals. The step to Formula 3 proved harder; across four seasons from 2019 to 2022 with Charouz Racing System, he managed a single win and three podiums in 34 starts in a similar multiclass environment. After a gap, he returned to single-seaters with five USF Pro 2000 starts in 2023, securing one win, then moved to Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in 2024 with Ombra Racing, taking eight starts in that series.[2]
Zendeli's record against his regular opponents shows the gap between his success in Formula 4 and his standing at higher levels. He finished behind established professional Juri Vips, a 2017 ADAC Formula 4 champion with extensive Formula 2 and Formula 3 experience. Against Felipe Drugovich, the 2022 Formula 2 champion and a Platinum-graded professional, Zendeli was closely matched. He finished ahead of Oscar Piastri, now racing in Formula 1, six times across their meetings in the junior categories, and ahead of elite professional Liam Lawson 23 times, though both drivers moved on to substantially stronger records in higher racing.
