Career

Karting

Staněk began karting internationally in 2014, competing in the 60 MINI category until 2016. The following year he moved up to OK Junior, and in 2018 he took part in the Karting World Championship in the OK category.[1]

Lower formulae

Staněk made his single-seater debut in early 2019 at the last round of the Formula 4 UAE Championship, as a guest driver for Dragon Racing.[2]

For the main season he combined the ADAC Formula 4 and Italian F4 championships, driving for the Sauber-backed US Racing-CHRS team in both. Eventually racking up three race wins and nine podiums across the two series, he was especially successful in the former, where he finished 4th in the standings and won the rookies' championship ahead of Mercedes junior Paul Aron. He starred at the opening round in Oschersleben, getting a 2nd place and a commanding race 3 win which saw him take the lead of the championship.[3][4] His other two victories of the season came in the ADAC F4 Nürburgring and Italian F4 Imola rounds.[5][6]

Staněk in 2021 Formula 3 pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

2020

Staněk was originally due to drive for the Prema Powerteam in the 2020 Formula Regional European Championship, but later during the COVID-19 lockdown, switched to Charouz Racing System for what he thought was a Formula 2 drive.[7][8][9] He was instead placed in one of the team's FIA Formula 3 seats on the Thursday prior to the season opener, replacing the outgoing Niko Kari and becoming the youngest driver in the championship.[10] With no previous testing, he struggled throughout the season, his sole points-scoring finish coming at the penultimate round in Monza.[11] Staněk later described the move as "a mistake I really regret, because it could have ruined my career".[9]

2021

For the 2021 season, Staněk joined Hitech Grand Prix to race in the F3 Asian Championship and FIA Formula 3.[12][13] He finished 10th in the former and 16th in the latter, with two podium finishes.[14] He also made a one-off appearance in the Euroformula Open for Team Motopark at Imola and managed to take a win and a second place.[15]

2022

In 2022, upon testing for them in post-season, Staněk moved to reigning teams' champions Trident for his third season in FIA Formula 3.[16] He achieved his first-ever victory in Imola.

Formula One

Staněk was a member of the Sauber Junior Team in 2019.[17]
