Ayumu Iwasa (岩佐歩夢, Iwasa Ayumu, born 22 September 2001) is a Japanese racing driver currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship with DAMS. He previously raced in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Hitech Grand Prix. He is a member of the Red Bull Junior Team and the 2020 French F4 champion.

Career

Karting

Iwasa started karting in Japan in 2005 and began racing competitively in 2014. Some of his notable campaigns were winning the 2014 Suzuka Karting Championship Yamaha-SS Class and becoming champion of the Suzuka Karting Championship x-30 class. Iwasa also competed in the JAF Junior Karting Championship FP in the junior class during his karting career.

Lower formulae

Iwasa made his single-seater debut in 2017 in the F4 Japanese Championship competing in two races for B-Max Racing, finishing 15th in both of them. That year he also took part in two races of the Asian Formula Renault Series. He took pole for both races and finished both races in second place. In 2018 he made another cameo appearance in Japanese F4, driving for Rn-Sports, as he scored points in the first race. In that year Iwasa also finished third in the final round of the JAF F4 Suzuka series.

Iwasa did his first full season of car racing in the Suzuka Racing School's Single Seater Series in 2019, where he won the title.

In 2020 he was made a Honda Junior Driver. It would be the Japanese driver's best season yet as he competing in 2020 French Formula 4, where he dominated the series, taking five pole positions, nine wins and 15 podium finishes overall.

F3 Asian Championship

At the start of 2021 Iwasa competed in the F3 Asian Championship, partnering Roy Nissany, Roman Staněk and Reece Ushijima.[1] He scored his only podium of the campaign in the first race of the fourth round at the Dubai Autodrome and ended up eighth in the championship.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

Iwasa's focus for the year would lie in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, where he drove for the same team alongside Stanek and fellow Red Bull Junior Jak Crawford.[2] In race one at the Hungaroring he finished second behind Lorenzo Colombo, but after the Italian driver was penalised for a Safety car infringement the victory went to Iwasa. He achieved his second podium in the category at Zandvoort, finishing third behind Arthur Leclerc and Logan Sargeant in the first race. The Japanese driver finished the season in twelfth place overall, and fourth among rookies in the series. He also beat both of his teammates in the standings.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

Iwasa participated in post-season testing in FIA F2 at the Yas Marina circuit with DAMS. On 14 January 2022, the French outfit announced that Iwasa would race for the team during the 2022 season, partnering Roy Nissany.[3]

Formula One

At the beginning of 2021 Iwasa was officially announced as a Red Bull Junior.[4]
