🇬🇧 Will Palmer

Will Palmer was an established professional racing single-seater cars in national and international championships from 2014 to 2018. He raced for HHC Motorsport in GB3, where he won the 2015 championship, and competed in Formula Renault Eurocup and GP3 Series for R-ace GP and MP Motorsport respectively. Across 85 starts he took 18 wins and 35 podiums.[1]

Palmer's record was built almost entirely in GB3, where his 45 starts, 14 wins and 23 podiums formed the backbone of his career. His 2015 championship with HHC Motorsport was the high point. He stepped up to Formula Renault Eurocup from 2015 to 2017, taking four wins and twelve podiums across 38 starts, but his form did not sustain into GP3 Series in 2018; a pair of rounds with MP Motorsport yielded no points and he finished twentieth in the championship standings. His indexed racing ended there.[2]

Palmer raced in fields populated by drivers across the amateur to professional spectrum, though the series he chose to contest meant his record accumulated against competitors in the early stages of careers rather than established names. He regularly finished ahead of semi-professional GB3 regulars such as Jordan Albert and Rodrigo Fonseca. He shared grids with generational talents including George Russell and Lando Norris, both of whom went on to Formula 1; he finished ahead of Russell seven times and Norris three times across their meetings, though both drivers were significantly stronger over their careers.
