🇷🇺 Nikita Bedrin

Bedrin is a professional single-seater driver racing in GB3 for VRD Racing. He has raced across five championships in continental and international single-seater racing since 2021, compiling 148 starts with eight wins and 26 podiums. His early career ran through Italian F4 and ADAC Formula 4 alongside Formula Regional European and Formula 3, competing for PHM Racing and then Sainteloc Racing and AIX Racing respectively.[1]

His record through 2025 was steady rather than dominant. His breakthrough has come in his current season. In GB3, Bedrin has won three races from seven starts and taken three podiums, commanding the championship in the middle rounds of the calendar as the season continues.[2]

Bedrin's development has tracked consistently against the established professionals around him. He has raced regularly against Taylor Barnard, an established professional with Italian F4, ADAC Formula 4 and Formula E experience, and against Kacper Sztuka, the 2023 Italian F4 champion, finishing closely matched with both. His podium finishes have included occasions ahead of Andrea Kimi Antonelli, a generational driver and multiple junior champion now racing in Formula 1, and Arvid Lindblad, an elite professional with Formula 2 and Formula 3 pedigree, though his record against stronger opposition through the junior categories remained infrequent enough to place him consistently mid-field. His current form in GB3 has brought him to the attention of DS PENSKE for their Formula E rookie testing programme.
