Emil Bernstorff

Emil Bernstorff (born 7 June 1993) is an Anglo-Danish racing driver, who competed in two races of the 2016 FIA GP2 Series with Arden. Bernstorff got his one-off shot in GP2 in place of the budget-less Jimmy Eriksson, although a lack-lustre weekend saw the Anglo-Dane miss out on a seat in 2017.

Background
Bernstorff began his career in karting at the age of ten, competing almost exclusively in the UK. In 2010 Bernstorff would make the leap into racing cars, taking a seat in the British Formula Ford Championship, claiming seventh at the end of the campaign. 2011 saw the Anglo-Dane move into the w:c:motorsport:ADAC Formel Masters, with an impressive rookie season seeing Bernstorff ultimately finish runner-up to Pascal Wehrlein.

A European Adventure
His impressive maiden run in Formel Masters was enough for Bernstorff to secure a seat in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship for 2012, resulting in the Anglo-Dane finishing tenth with a single podium. 2013 saw Bernstorff drop back to the German Formula 3 Championship with a strong season seeing the Anglo-Dane challenge for the title. The GP3 Series proved to be Bernstorff's next port-of-call in 2014, having finished third in German F3 the previous season.

Bernstorff claimed one win in his maiden GP3 campaign, finishing fifth in the Championship and securing a second season in the Series for 2015. The Anglo-Dane would go one better that season, claiming two wins and fourth in the Championship having switched to Arden International.

GP2 Series History
Bernstorff did not secure a race seat for the 2016 season, although remained on Arden's books as a potential reserve driver for the GP2 Series that season. Ultimately, Bernstorff's shot in GP2 came at the season finale, with the Anglo-Dane called up to replace the budget deprived Jimmy Eriksson. Unfortunately for Bernstorff it would be a pointless weekend in Abu Dhabi, failing to score in either race, meaning the Brit was overlooked for a seat in 2017.

Post GP2 Series Career
Bernstorff was unable to secure a seat in any racing series after the conclusion of the 2016 season.
