Dan Ticktum
[1] During his time with Red Bull, Ticktum won the Macau Grand Prix in 2017 and 2018, and was runner-up in the 2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship.He enjoyed early success, winning the Bamford Kart Club Winter Series and competing in the Super 1 National Championship in the Honda Cadet class with Project One Racing in just his first year of competition.The same year Ticktum won the KFJ Andrea Margutti Trophy against the likes of Lando Norris and Jehan Daruvala, with previous winners being F1 stars Giancarlo Fisichella, Robert Kubica and Daniil Kvyat.[4]The following year, Ticktum finished second in the WSK Masters to Enaam Ahmed and took part in his first test in the BRDC Formula 4 Championship with Lanan Racing, where he broke the lap record at the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.[7] He led the early rounds of the Championship, taking two victories at Donington and one at Snetterton, but fell behind his main rivals Lando Norris and Colton Herta as the season progressed.[8] At the penultimate round of the season at Silverstone, Ticktum got involved in an incident with Ricky Collard on the opening lap, which dropped him to the back of the field.[10] As a result, he finished sixth in his first season of single-seater racing and ended up second in the rookie standings, which he had originally won during the aforementioned Silverstone weekend.In 2016, Ticktum returned to motorsport, competing in the final round of the FIA European Formula 3 Championship in Hockenheim with Carlin.[13] In 2015 Ticktum made a one-off appearance in the Formula Renault Eurocup with Koiranen GP, finishing 16th and eleventh in his two races at the Nürburgring.[14] Following Ticktum's return to competition, he went into his first full racing season in 2017, driving in the Eurocup with Arden International, who were making their category debut that year, together with Ghislain Cordeel and Zane Goddard.[19] At the end of the year, Ticktum was ranked 13th of Motorsport.com's top 20 junior single-seater drivers, and also won the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.[30] In December 2017, it was confirmed that Ticktum would contest the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Team Motopark in 2018, alongside Sebastián Fernández, Fabio Scherer, Jonathan Aberdein, Marino Sato and Jüri Vips.[34][35] At the following round at the Norisring, Ticktum stalled at the start of the second race and was hit from behind by Ameya Vaidyanathan, which forced the Brit to go to hospital and his team to fully repair the car with just a few hours available.[43] Both Ticktum and Prema's Ralf Aron suggested that there was something dubious about the form Schumacher and his teammate Robert Shwartzman were showing in the final third of the season, with the Brit describing their sudden surge in performance as "interesting".[48][49] His campaign started out with an eighth place at the Suzuka Circuit,[50] but things would head for the worst when Ticktum stalled his car after a spin on a curb in the next round at Autopolis.[58] After a brief hiatus from racing following his exit from the Red Bull Junior Team, during which Ticktum briefly considered quitting the sport,[59] he would partake in a shakedown of the new Dallara 320 chassis at Varano.[60] He then competed in two rounds of the Formula Regional European Championship for Van Amersfoort Racing,[61] scoring a pair of second places in Barcelona,[62][63] this allowed him to end ninth in the standings.[81][82] After securing sixth place in the feature race, he would collide with fellow Williams Academy member Roy Nissany battling for the lead, sending the Israeli into the barriers.[102] After the race Lawson was disqualified for using an illegal throttle map on the formation lap, which promoted Ticktum to take his first win of the season.[103] In the feature race he battled his rival Piastri for a podium spot, but Ticktum was forced to retire when he got stuck at La Rascasse, after an attempted overtake on the Australian.[112][113] Ticktum scored his second win of the season in mixed conditions at the following round in Sochi, having led the sprint race from start to finish.[121] Ticktum was unable to take part in July 2018 in-season test due to insufficient superlicence points, with Red Bull stating it was "odd".[55] Despite him questioning whether Red Bull had given him enough time in Super Formula, Ticktum stated that there was "no disrespect" towards academy boss Helmut Marko, and thanked him for "having given [him] the money to go racing".[128] In August 2021, shortly after Ticktum caused controversy by criticising and appearing to jibe Williams driver Nicholas Latifi,[129] it was confirmed that he had been released from his contract.[138] Round 11 at New York City brought a 17th place, although a rapid start and a number of overtakes during Sunday's race enabled Ticktum to finish twelfth.However, the Brit was involved in a major pile-up on the first lap of a wet race after being hit by Sébastien Buemi, which forced him, alongside five other drivers including teammate Turvey, to retire.[142] After a tumultuous start, in which his car was slightly pushed into the wall by Lucas di Grassi, Ticktum ended the first lap sat in sixth place.[145] Having tested the new Gen3 era car after the conclusion of the 2022 season,[146] Ticktum was announced to continue his relationship with NIO into 2023 alongside a new teammate, ex-Formula 2 driver Sérgio Sette Câmara who replaces Oliver Turvey.[173] He is well-known for his outspoken, blunt and occasionally discourteous nature, which mostly stands out in interviews and team radio messages and has earned him a controversial reputation.
