Following continued success in GP3, then GP2 series, he was named as a driver for Lotus F1 during the post-season testing and progressed to Formula 1 as a development driver for the Williams F1 team on January 28, 2015. In January 2017, he became a reserve driver for DS Virgin Racing in the Formula E Season and finally got his chance to race in July at the New York ePrix.

Girlfriend / Spouse

Alex Lynn has dated –

1. Blaise Dyer (2016-2018) – Alex was in a relationship with Blaise Dyer, also known as Blaise Ruby, which is her middle name, a social media star, and a blogger. She spent half of the time in London, England, and the other half in Cotswolds, England, United Kingdom. This attracted a large fanbase to her social media because she offered insight into 2 sides of life – living in both the capital city and the countryside. Alex has occasionally appeared in some of her vlogs but wasn’t fully-featured until her video, THE BOYFRIEND TAG Ft ALEX LYNN + GIVEAWAY on January 28, 2018, which was also their anniversary. They met on that exact day in 2016 for their 1st date at Brown’s restaurant. He distinctly remembered that she ordered scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast. Alex’s 1st impression of Blaise was that she was very confident because she turned up to her date with wet hair as she was previously in the gym. He was also the one that said: “I love you!” 1st, even though Blase wanted to, but resisted. Alex also knew her least favorite foods – lasagna with bechamel sauce, and pie, and her favorite drinks – Pepsi Max, Diet Coke, and Coca Cola Zero. He met her dad before her mom and Blaise also managed to impress him with her knowledge of soccer but only because her dad fed her the information. In addition, the only thing that annoyed Alex about her is that she left her boots on the floor and forgot to close drawers. Their 1st trip together was when she came to visit him after Monaco Grand Prix 2016 because she used to have a habit of not attending actual races and just coming after it’s over. Out of all celebrities that she saw that day, she was most impressed with Duncan Bannatyne, a British multi-millionaire, author, philanthropist, and businessman. Furthermore, the one thing Alex learned from her was: “You can’t be so opinionated yourself but not expect other people to give you their opinion back”. He also knew that her desire was to meet Khloe Kardashian someday and wished he could help make it true. He stopped featuring her on his social media in the 2nd half of 2018, which was presumably when they broke up.
2. Anna Catherine (2019-Present) – In 2019, he introduced Anna as a girlfriend via Instagram. Anna was a member of the UTS Global Exchange program at the University of Zürich, which meant she split her time between Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and Zürich, Switzerland. This fit Alex’s lifestyle perfectly, as he had to travel very often due to his occupation and they enjoyed visiting locations such as the luxurious Jumeirah Al Naseem resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in September 2019.

First Formula E Match

Alex Lynn made his Formula E debut at New York ePrix in July 2017. He was a reserve driver for DS Virgin Racing and took place of a fellow team racing driver, José María López since José had commitments in the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship. Alex qualified on pole for his debut but was forced to retire from the 1st race because of a transmission problem and from the 2nd race due to an issue with electrics.

Personal Trainer

Alex’s favorite physical activity is cycling. He enjoys riding a bike throughout the rich countryside in England, United Kingdom the most. Alex has also admitted that the rainy weather in England often prevented him from riding outside. For that reason, he often rode a stationary bike at the gym instead, commonly at the Chelsea Health Club in London.

He is also a big fan of basketball, soccer, and baseball, both playing the sports in person and watching them on TV. While in London, Alex is trained by the coaches at AW Performance, who specialize in preparing elite motorsport athletes for the physical challenges they have to face. Some of the exercises he does to maintain his physique are barbell overhead press for shoulders, weighted or bodyweight dips for front shoulders, triceps, and chest, and Russian twists with a kettlebell/medicine ball for his abs and core.

4. He lived in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, the United Kingdom from late 2014 until January 1, 2018, when he moved to London, England, United Kingdom.

6. The person that has had the biggest influence on him, besides Michael is his dad, Shaun who is also a racing driver.
7. For him, there are 2 things he cannot leave home without – wallet and iPhone. He also never carries cash with him which always causes problems.
8. As of October 2019, his personal dream is to win both Formula E and World Endurance Championship and become the 1st racing driver to have a “double crown”.
9. Alex appreciates competing in Formula E because competition in racing leads to technological improvements. He’s aware that new generations aren’t captivated by petrol cars anymore and care more about the environment, and being greener and healthier. Despite not directly thinking about the benefits of electric cars in Formula E while racing, they still end up slowly translating into cars of tomorrow, in his opinion.
10. Alex learned a lot of “hard lessons” during the Monaco E-Prix in the Formula E Generation 2 Series in May 2019. His wheel came off during the 1st part after he bumped into a fellow driver Stoffel Vandoorne. He also deliberately attacked more kerbs harder than usual so he could dislodge the loose bodywork and prevent it from ruining his race. His effort ensured that his team, Panasonic Jaguar Racing, scored their 1st double-points finish.
