Robert Shwartzman

Robert Mikhailovich Shwartzman (Ро́берт Миха́йлович Шва́рцман in Russian; born 16 September 1999 in St. Petersburg, Northwestern, Russia) is a Russian racing driver who competes in the 2021 FIA Formula 2 Championship with Prema Racing. A Ferrari Driver Academy member, Shwartzman made his F2 debut at the start of the 2020 season off the back of winning the FIA Formula 3 Championship.

Shwartzman was signed by Prema ahead of the 2020 campaign, with the Russian racer partnering fellow FDA member Mick Schumacher for his rookie campaign. Shwartzman would go on to claim victory in only his third race, with three further wins across the condensed campaign leaving him in fourth in the championship.

Prema would retain Shwartzman for the 2021 season, with the Russian racer taking over as team leader ahead of new teammate Oscar Piastri for his sophomore season.

Background
Shwartzman began his career in karting at the age of five, racing across Europe until 2014, when he secured his first season in single-seaters. Entering the final six rounds of the Italian F4 Championship, Shwartzman impressed enough to secure a full Italian F4 seat in 2015, and would go on to secure third in the Championship with two wins. The Russian racer also completed a full season in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship, finishing fourth in that series.

A Ferrari Future: 2016-2019
2016 saw Shwartzman secure a seat in the sister Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and NEC Championships, finishing in the middle of the pack in both. He remained in both series for 2017, and duly finished third in the Eurocup after claiming six victories. His success brought Shwartzman the attention of Ferrari, who duly signed the Russian racer to the Ferrari Driver Academy at the end of 2017.

Ferrari moved Shwartzman into the Toyota Racing Series to open the 2018 season, with the Russian racer duly securing the title in his first season. With that Shwartzman spent the rest of 2018 fighting to third in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, behind fellow FDA member Mick Schumacher and Dan Ticktum. For 2019 the Russian racer was moved to the FIA Formula 3 Championship, which saw the Russian racer sweep to the title in his rookie season with 212 points.

Formula 2 History
Shwartzman took part in his first FIA Formula 2 Championship session at the 2019 Yas Marina Test, having already been signed to the Prema Racing team for 2020. The Russian racer performed well against teammate Mick Schumacher, with the duo heading into the 2020 season on an even footing, both with backing from the Ferrari Driver Academy.

A Ferrari Favourite: 2021
After being overlooked for a Formula One seat for 2021, Shwartzman was given a sophomore season of F2 by Prema, who partnered him with Shwartzman's F3 successor Oscar Piastri for the season.
