David racing in the 2019 French F4 Championship

In 2019, David joined the French F4 Championship.[1] In preparation for this season, he also participated in the F4 SEA Championship, using the same Mygale M14-F4-Renault as the French championship. David won 6 of the 8 races he participated in along with 1 second place and 1 seventh place.[2]

In the opening round in the French F4 series at Nogaro, he won two of the three races, along with two poles and all three fastest laps, allowing him to take the lead in the championship. He won his third victory of the season at Pau. He won again at Lédenon, and despite some complicated races due to contact with other drivers resulting in him finishing 9th and 16th, David still lead the championship with Réunion's Reshad de Gerus being his only real championship rival. David won two new victories on the Hungaroring and from this point to the end of the season David didn't fail to step on the podium once with one more victory at Paul Ricard. This victory made David the youngest driver to win any FIA Formula 4 category at the age of 15 with a total of 280 points.[3]

Driving as a guest driver for R-ace GP in the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship at Circuit Zandvoort and Nürburgring. David's best finish was 7th at the final race in Nürburgring, he then returned to the French F4 Championship where he was competing in full time.[4]

Formula Renault Eurocup

[edit]

In October 2019, David partook in the post-season test at Yas Marina with R-ace GP and MP Motorsport.[5] The following January, it was confirmed David would make his debut in the upcoming season with the latter, partnering Franco Colapinto.[6] Speaking of that opportunity before the season, Renault Academy boss Mia Sharizman remarked that the series was "an excellent platform to develop and test Hadrien David's talent".[7] However, the Frenchman experienced a slow first half of the season, which included a streak of four consecutive races without points. David would improve in the second half, scoring consistent points finishes and finishing on the podium in Imola. He ended up finishing tenth in the standings, seven positions behind teammate Franco Colapinto.

Formula One

[edit]
