Infinity Sports Management are excited to announce the signing of 18-year-old British race driver, Jonny Edgar. The talented driver will be joining MP Motorsport for a renewed attempt at FIA F3 glory. The driver from Workington in Cumbria aims to reap the benefit of experience in the Formula 1 feeder series by hooking up with the race-winning Dutch Team.
Jonny got his first taste of MP’s F3 machine when he joined the Dutch squad for all three days of the recent post-season test at Jérez. Satisfied with the results, Jonny and the team decided to join forces for the 2023 FIA F3 season. At MP, the BRDC SuperStar will team up with the previously announced Mari Boya and Franco Colapinto to form a strong line-up of one promising rookie and two more experienced drivers in the category.
In karts, Jonny was the 2017 European CIK-FIA champion at OK Junior level before graduating to single-seaters with a debut season in Italian F4 in 2019. Switching to German F4 in 2020, the Briton romped to the title with six wins and 11 podiums while also grabbing fourth in his second year in the Italian F4 series despite only taking part in selected rounds. The talented teen then progressed to two points-scoring seasons in FIA F3, in 2022 consistently finishing in the top-eight towards the end of the year.
Jonny Edgar:
I’m really happy to become part of both the Infinity Sports Management and MP family for 2023. MP are proven race winners in FIA Formula 3, a fact that they have consistently showed over the past few seasons. It was great to get a headstart with the team at Jérez, and to meet up with my future teammates. This year has been difficult with my health issues, but I have fought back and really worked on my fitness in the car. So now I’m relishing the thought of a fresh attack on FIA F3, as it feels like unfinished business to me. I can’t wait to get going!
Gary Catt – Infinity Sports Management:
We are extremely happy to welcome Jonny into the Infinity family, he is a super talented driver with a bright future ahead of him. He had a tough year in 2022 with some health issues, now he is back fighting fit we are looking forward to see what he can achieve with MP in FIA F3 next year.

We enjoyed working with him at Jérez and aim to help him convert all of his obvious raw speed into strong results. Bring on 2023!
