Sergey Olegovich Sirotkin[1] (Russian: Серге́й Оле́гович Сиро́ткин, IPA: [sʲɪrˈɡʲej ɐˈlʲɛɡəvʲɪtɕ sʲɪˈrotkʲɪn], born 27 August 1995) is a Russian professional racing driver currently competing in Formula One for Williams Martini Racing.

Career

Karting

Sirotkin began karting in 2008 and raced in various international series, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF3 and KF2 category by 2010.

Formula Abarth

Having turned fifteen years old, Sirotkin graduated to single-seaters, racing in the newly launched Formula Abarth series in Italy for Jenzer Motorsport. He made his début at Vallelunga, finishing the first race in the points and later added four more point-scoring finishes to finish 18th in the championship.[2] Sirotkin remained in Formula Abarth, and with Jenzer, for a second season in 2011; the series splitting into two separate classifications for European and Italian championship races. But prior to the round at Spa, Sirotkin switched to the Euronova Racing by Fortec team. He won the European Series title with a race to spare, taking five wins in fourteen races.[3] In the Italian Series, Sirotkin finished as runner-up with two race victories, losing out to former team-mate Patric Niederhauser after an error in the final race at Autodromo Nazionale Monza.[4]

Auto GP World Series

In 2012, Sirotkin continued his collaboration with Euronova Racing into the Auto GP World Series.[5] His first round at Monza saw him qualify on the front row, losing pole position to Adrian Quaife-Hobbs by just 0.04 seconds.[6] He stalled at the start of the first race, but recorded a finish of fourth place in the second race; he also set the fastest lap in both races.[7] At Valencia, he again started behind points leader Quaife-Hobbs, but this time Sirotkin passed him before the first turn, and eventually scored his first win—again setting fastest lap—becoming the youngest Auto GP winner in the process.[8] After another fastest lap in the second race, Sirotkin established a record of four consecutive fastest laps; breaking a record previously held by Romain Grosjean.[9] Sirotkin went on to finish the season in third place overall, behind Quaife-Hobbs and Pål Varhaug. He finished the season with two race wins in Valencia and Sonoma, and seven podium finishes. He also recorded his first pole position at the Marrakech Street Circuit.[10]

Formula Three

Sirotkin also participared in the Italian Formula Three Championship in 2012, driving for Euronova.[5] He recorded two wins at the Hungaroring and Monza, and a further four podium finishes over the course of the season. He also scored points in twenty-two of the twenty-four races—after retiring from the second race at Vallelunga and being disqualified from the third race at Monza—and finished the season fifth overall in both the European and Italian Series championships.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

Sirotkin made his Formula Renault 3.5 debut in his home event at the Moscow Raceway, partnering fellow Russian driver Nikolay Martsenko at BVM Target.[11] He finished the first race of the meeting in twentieth place, before retiring from the second race.

Sirotkin expanded his Formula Renault 3.5 campaign to contest a full season in 2013, competing with ISR Racing.[12] He had podiums at Alcañiz and Hungaroring with another three point-scoring finishes to achieve the ninth place in the championship standings.

For 2014 Sirotkin switched to the Fortec Motorsport team[13] and partnered there with Oliver Rowland. He scored his first pole position and won his first Formula Renault 3.5 Series race on his home soil at Moscow Raceway.[14] Despite this, the second Forteс car often broke and he did not finish in 5 races. But whenever he finished a race, he usually did this in points, missing a points finish only once. Overall, he finished 5th in the championship, with 132 points.

Formula One

In July 2013, Sirotkin joined the Sauber Formula One team, with the aim of participating in Friday sessions in 2013[15] and a full race seat for the 2014 Formula One season.[16] But in 2014 he stayed in the team only as test driver. Sirotkin participated in tests that took place in Bahrain on April 8. The Russian driver did 75 laps and covered a distance of over 300 kilometres, recording the 8th fastest time. This result allowed Sirotkin to get a Superlicence. Sirotkin made his race weekend debut in free practice at the 2014 Russian Grand Prix where he recorded the 17th fastest time, about four tenths of a second slower than his more experienced team-mate Adrian Sutil. Sirotkin failed to sign a contract with Sauber for 2015 – the Swiss team completely changed its structure and selected drivers with good financing.

In April 2016, Sirotkin's F1 chances were revived when it was announced that he would act as a development driver for the Renault Sport F1 Team and would partake in the first free practice session of the Russian Grand Prix.[17]

He became a reserve driver for 2017, remaining with Renault. He partook in the first free practice sessions during the Russian, Spanish, Austrian and Malaysian Grand Prix. He received a positive feedback from Renault head Cyril Abiteboul.[18]

After the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Sirotkin had a half-day tests with Williams Martini Racing at the same circuit. He impressed the team personal by his driving pace and talent, technical feedback and work ethic.[19] On 16 January 2018, he was announced by Williams as their new driver for the 2018 season, replacing Felipe Massa, who retired from the sport.[20]

GP2 Series

In February 2015, it was announced that Sirotkin would debut in the series with Rapax.[21] He achieved his first victory at Silverstone—a circuit on which he had no previois racing experience—when he won the feature race.[22][23] During the season he had another four podium finishes. Though a GP2 rookie, Sirotkin finished third in the overall standings.

For the 2016 season, Sirotkin switched to defending champions ART Grand Prix.[24] He had a tough start of the season, as he spun and stalled in the season opener at Barcelona.[25] His problems continued in the Feature race in Monaco, where he had started from pole position but crashed into the wall.[26] Sirotkin converted his pace to race results in Baku with double podium finish in both Feature and Sprint races. At Spielberg he took a pole position but had a poor start and was given a ten-second time penalty for failing to re-establish his original starting position before the safety car line and of failing to re-enter the pitlane.[27]. Sirotkin had another double podium finish in the Hungaroring round.[28] He continued to win, repeating success in the feature Hockenheim race.[29] He had technical issues with a car at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps before finishing second in Sepang.[30] He finished third in the final race of the season at Abu Dhabi, tieing with Raffaele Marciello in the drivers' standings. Sirotkin was classified third in the standings as he had achieved more wins than Marciello.[31]

FIA Formula 2 Championship

Sirotkin had a one-round return to the wheel of the Dallara GP2/11 car in the 2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship at Baku. He replaced injured Alexander Albon in ART Grand Prix.[32] He finished both races of the round in points.[33]
