Nikita Vyacheslavovich Bedrin (Template:Lang-ru; born 6 January 2006) is a Russian racing driver who is racing under an Italian racing license. He is competing for AIX Racing in the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship, having previously competed with Jenzer Motorsport, and also competes for MP Motorsport in the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship. He finished fourth in the 2022 ADAC Formula 4 Championship and is a winner in Italian F4.

Career

Karting

Having started out his karting career in his homeland, Bedrin won the Russian Karting Championship twice before moving to Italy to compete on the more competitive European stage.[1] His karting career proved to be a success, with him winning the Italian Championship in 2019 and the WSK Super Master Series in his final year of karting, 2020, as well as finishing fourth in the European Championship during the same year.[2][3]

Formula 4

2021

Bedrin racing in the 2021 ADAC Formula 4 Championship at the Red Bull Ring

Bedrin graduated to cars in 2021, racing in the Formula 4 UAE Championship with Xcel Motorsport.[4] He scored his first podium in the second round, taking third in race three, but would sustain a hand injury during the following round which would end his campaign prematurely.

The Russian's main campaign would be in the Italian and ADAC F4 series, partnering Ollie Bearman, Joshua Dufek, Bence Válint and Han Cenyu at Van Amersfoort Racing.[5][6] He would score points regularly in Italy, with the season highlight being a triple of podiums at Imola Circuit, where Bedrin was awarded the Race 3 victory after a disqualification for Bearman due to a technical infringement. Over in Germany, the Russian took two wins, one at Hockenheim and the Nürburgring respectively, which elevated him up to fifth overall. His frequent points finishes and flurry of podiums also brought him the rookie title in both championships.

2022

The following year, Bedrin returned to the category, starting his season in the F4 UAE Championship, where he drove alongside Taylor Barnard and Jonas Ried for new team PHM Racing.[7] His campaign proved to be a success, as he took two wins, one a piece in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which led the Russian on to finish fourth in the standings.[8][9]

Bedrin would follow that up by returning to the Italian F4 and ADAC F4 series, once again driving for PHM.[10] In the former, Bedrin took a pair of podiums but was hampered by an inconsistent end to the season, leaving him twelfth in the championship. Meanwhile, his season in ADAC Formula 4 would bear more fruit, as he finished fourth overall, with six podiums, including a lone win at a rainy Lausitzring, under his belt.[11][12]

2024

Bedrin would return to Formula 4 for 2024, participating in the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship for PHM Racing.[13]

Formula Regional Middle East

At the start of 2023, Bedrin competed in the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship with PHM Racing.[14]

FIA Formula 3

2023

In September 2022, Bedrin took part in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test for Jenzer Motorsport together with his PHM teammate Taylor Barnard and Euroformula Open driver Alex García.[15][16][17] He would subsequently be signed up for the 2023 F3 season, driving for Jenzer Motorsport.[18] After failing to score in the opening three rounds, Bedrin opened his account by scoring his first point in sprint race at Barcelona by finishing tenth in sprint and then 11th in the feature race.[19] He secured his first ever FIA Formula 3 podium on Hungaroring by finishing third in the sprint race. He even led for seven laps, but lost the lead to Gabriele Minì and then on the last lap to championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto for second.[20] In Belgium, he gambled in the feature race by starting on wet tyres as his teammates and a few other drivers, which would see him up to third place by the chequered flag and getting another podium.[21] It would be his final points finish of the season and he ended in 18th overall, with 24 points.[22]

2024

Bedrin driving for PHM AIX Racing during the 2024 Spielberg Formula 3 round

Despite uncertainty if he would remain on the grid for 2024, Bedrin would return to PHM Racing for his second season, partnering Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Joshua Dufek.[23] Bedrin would take his first Formula 3 win at the sprint race in Hungary, claiming AIX Racing's first F3 win in the process.[24]

Formula Regional European Championship

2023

Following his F3 season, Bedrin moved down to the Formula Regional European Championship later that year, joining Monolite Racing for Zandvoort.[25] He would later move to Van Amersfoort Racing for the final race in Hockenheim.[26]

2024

Alongside his FIA Formula 3 campaign, Bedrin would race full-time in the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship with MP Motorsport, although he would prioritise the former over the latter in clashing events.[27]
