Hudson Schwartz (born 13 May 2009) is an American racing driver currently competing for KCL by MP Motorsport in the F4 Spanish Championship.
Personal life and karting
[edit]Schwartz is the son of Roy Schwartz, one of three co-founders of Axios, and an amateur racing driver, who Hudson raced against in the 2022 Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series.[1]
Schwartz began karting at the age of ten and continued karting until 2023, mainly racing for Rolison Performance Group in SKUSA-organized championships.[2][3][4]
Career
[edit]Schwartz made his full-time single-seater debut in 2023, racing for Velocity Racing Development from Barber onwards.[5][6] Taking his first podium of the season at Virginia by finishing third in race two,[7] Schwartz then took his maiden pole and best result in the following round at Mid-Ohio by finishing second.[8] In the remaining two rounds of the season, Schwartz took one more podium at the season-finale at Circuit of the Americas to end his only season in USF Juniors eighth in points.[9] At the end of the year, Schwartz competed full-time in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, taking six wins and winning the title and earning $250,000 to put towards his career.[10]
After topping the end of season USF2000 tests,[11] Schwartz made the step-up USF2000 in 2024, joining Pabst Racing for his rookie season in the series.[12][13] In his only season in the series, Schwartz scored a lone podium in the season-ending Portland round by finishing third in race one, which helped him finish eighth in points.[14] Following that, Schwartz joined Van Amersfoort Racing to race in the final two rounds of the Italian F4 Championship and the final round of the Euro 4 Championship.[15] In those rounds, Schwartz took a best result of 16th at Monza in the former,[16] and two 19th-place finishes in the latter series, albeit at the same venue.[17] Following that, Schwartz made a one-off appearance in the F4 Spanish Championship at Barcelona for Monlau Motorsport.[18] Racing as a guest driver, Schwartz took a best result of tenth among the three races, doing so in race two.[19]
The following year, Schwartz joined MP Motorsport to race in both the Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter and F4 Spanish Championships.[20][21] In the three-round Winter Championship, Schwartz took a best result of fifth at Jerez and scored points in all but three races to end the winter 15th in the final points standings.[22][23] In his only full-time season in Spanish F4, Schwartz scored two third-place finishes at Aragón and scored points seven more times to end the year 11th in points.[24] At the end of the year, Schwartz made his debut in the GT4 European Series for Speedy Motorsport at Barcelona, taking a best result of eighth in race one.[25]
