Simo Laaksonen is a Finnish former racing driver who competed in Formula 3 during his career, most notably with MP Motorsport in the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship. Across his time in the category he made 16 starts, but he was unable to convert those appearances into a race win or a podium finish, closing out his single-seater career without a championship title to his name.[1]
Over the course of his 16-round campaign, Laaksonen finished eighth in the standings, a result that reflects a season of steady participation rather than front-running pace. His Racer Rating of 3,217 places him 871st among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale, on which the world's leading competitors sit in the 10,000 to 11,500 range, underscoring the gap between his output and that of the sport's top performers. Laaksonen is now recorded as retired, with his time at MP Motorsport standing as the defining chapter of a Formula 3 career that yielded no wins, no podiums, and no titles across his 16 recorded starts.[2]
