Jack Aitken Facts
- In the first half of his maiden season of Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, in 2014, Jack had to juggle his racing duties with finishing off his A-Levels at Westminster School. He still managed to win a race during the season and achieve a podium finish 4 times, ending the season in a creditable 7th position.
- In 2015, he won the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series and the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps championship within a week of each other and his title-deciding wins in both those competitions came on the same track, the Circuito de Jerez in Spain.
- In 2016, he was 1 among 4 drivers who were selected for the renowned ‘Young Driver Program’ of Renault F1.
- When he won the Azerbaijan feature race, his first win in the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship, it was his team Campos Racing‘s first-ever win in the competition since they began participating in 2017. Jack would go on to add 2 more wins to his and the team’s tally and finish the season, his 2nd in the competition, in 5th place.
- His racing helmet depicts the flags of both Great Britain and South Korea, as a nod to his ancestry.
