Career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Smal started karting in 2012. He participated in the Russian Karting Championship until 2015.[1] In 2016, he came second in the 60 Mini category of the WSK Final Cup.[1] In 2018, he finished fifth in the OK Junior category of the Karting World Championship with the support of SMP Racing and the following year he came fourth in the OK category.[2][3][4]

Formula 4

[edit]

In 2020, Smal made his single-seater debut by competing in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with R-ace GP.[4] He finished the season ninth in the standings after claiming three podiums and a pole position throughout the season.[5][6] Together with R-ace GP, he also competed in a single round of the Italian F4 Championship before joining Prema Powerteam to compete in further rounds of the championship.[7] He took his first podium in the final race of the season.[6]

In 2021, he joined Xcel Motorsport to compete in Formula 4 UAE Championship.[6] He finished the season in third after taking four wins.[8][9][10] Afterwards, he rejoined Prema Powerteam to contest the full 2021 Italian F4 Championship.[11] He finished the championship in third after taking his only win of the season in the season-opening race at Circuit Paul Ricard.[12][13] He also contested the opening two rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship where he took a win at Circuit Zandvoort.[14][15]

In 2022, Smal joined MP Motorsport to compete in the F4 Spanish Championship after initially stating that he wouldn't race outside of Russia that year.[16][17] Following the ban of Russian emblems, he competed under the flag of Kyrgyzstan.[18] He finished the season fourth in the standings.

In 2023, he made an appearance for MP Motorsport in the opening round of the Formula 4 UAE Championship as a replacement for Jerónimo Berrío.[19]

Formula Regional

[edit]

At the beginning of 2022, Smal was expected to join KIC Motorsport in the Formula Regional European Championship. He ultimately did not compete in the championship after SMP Racing withdrew its support in international motorsport due to the FIA's ban of Russian emblems following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[17][20][21]

In 2023, he joined Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited for a part-time campaign in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship.[22] He scored his first podium in the final round of the season at the Yas Marina Circuit.[21] He then joined Monolite Racing in the Formula Regional European Championship after missing the first round of the season.[21]

Sports car racing

[edit]

In 2023, Smal also made his debut in sports car racing. He joined CD Sport to compete in the Le Mans Cup with Fabian Michal being his teammate. The pair secured their first podium in the opening round of the season at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.[23]

Eurocup-3

[edit]

In 2024 Smal would make his debut in the Eurocup-3 series. The team he would be driving for was Palou Motorsport the team owned by two-time IndyCar Champion and 2021 Indianapolis 500 runner-up Álex Palou. Smal would finish on the Podium in his debut race at Spa-Francorchamps in the first race scoring Palou Motorsport's first ever Podium.
