Sebastian Fernandez was a professional single-seater racing driver from Venezuela who competed across five seasons of junior formula racing between 2016 and 2020. He raced primarily in Italian Formula 4 and FIA Formula 3 European, competing for established teams including Bhaitech, Motopark and ART Grand Prix.[1]
Fernandez took six wins and seven podiums across 117 starts in his indexed career. His strongest showing came in the 2017 Italian Formula 4 season, where he scored five wins and five podiums to finish fourth in the championship standings. He also contested the FIA Formula 3 European championship over 2018, Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019 and Formula 3 that same year, accumulating a single additional podium in the latter two series combined.[2]
His record against the field showed typical midfield professional pace. He regularly finished behind Juri Vips, a Gold-graded established professional and 2017 ADAC Formula 4 champion who went on to Formula 2, but consistently beat Federico Malvestiti, an entry-level professional with significant Italian Formula 4 and Formula 3 experience. Fernandez finished ahead of Oscar Piastri three times and Alex Palou twice; both are now elite or generational drivers at the top levels of motorsport, though those meetings came early in their own junior careers.
