Career

Lower formulae

In 2019, Mansell made his single-seater debut in the New South Wales Formula Race Car Championship. He also raced in two rounds of the Australian Formula 4 Championship with AGI Sport and finished all but one race in the top seven.[1] However, due to Mansell being a guest driver he was not classified in the standings.

For 2020 Mansell moved over to the United Kingdom to race full-time in the F4 British Championship, partnering Zak O'Sullivan and Matías Zagazeta at Carlin.[2] Whilst the Australian only managed to score one win at the Brands Hatch Circuit, in contrast to O'Sullivan's nine over the course of the season, he did score four more podiums, which included two third places and a second place at the final round.[3] This led to Mansell finishing seventh in the championship at the end of the year. Furthermore, Mansell would come out victorious in that season's Rookie Cup, winning that title with a 61.5 point gap to Frederick Lubin.[4]

BRDC British F3 Championship

Mansell stayed on with Carlin in 2021, progressing to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.[5] The Aussie took his first win of the season in the reversed grid race at Brands Hatch, after overtaking six cars over the course of the race.[6]

Euroformula Open

In 2021 Mansell made his Euroformula Open Championship debut at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.[7]
