  • Comment: I am not too entirely familiar with motorsports so I may be wrong but this driver does not appear to satisfy notability criteria for motorsport personalities. It does not seem to satisfy WP:42 either. (General Notability Guideline) I would like to see different sort of coverage than just this person came in nth place.

Cenyu Han (Chinese: 韓岑宇; pinyin: Hán Cényǔ, born 22 December 2004), also known by his pseudonym "McQueen", is a Chinese racing driver who is set to compete in the Euroformula Open Championship for Team Motopark, having previously competed in Eurocup-3 and the Formula Regional European Championship. He is a part of Fernando Alonso's A14 Management.[1][2]

Career[edit]

Karting[edit]

Han began his karting career in 2013 at the age of eight. After a short career competing in China and Malaysia, Han made his European karting debut in Italy in October 2014, and would move to Rome the following year to further his karting career under the guidance of Super GT driver Andrea Caldarelli, former Formula One driver Vitantonio Liuzzi, and karting veterans Davide Forè and Felice Tiene.[3]

Lower formulae[edit]

2020[edit]

For his first season in single-seaters Han signed to compete in the Italian F4 Championship with AKM Motorsport.[4] After the first round at Misano however the Chinese driver switched to Van Amersfoort Racing, with whom he would contest the rest of his campaign.[5][6] He finished 33rd in the standings, having failed to score a point.

That year he also made an appearance in the final two rounds of the ADAC Formula 4 Championship series, finishing eleventh in five of his six races.[7]

2021[edit]

For 2021 Han returned to Van Amersfoort, scheduled to race in the Italian F4 Championship and ADAC Formula 4 Championship.[8][9][10][11] His season in Italy would end up being more fruitful than the year before, as Han scored his first points with an eighth place at Misano and took a season-best sixth in the following race at Vallelunga. That round also contained a barrel roll after colliding with Joshua Dürksen in Race 3,[12] although the Chinese driver was able to bounce back with a point at Imola. Having missed the final two rounds of the season, Han finished 26th in the championship, being beaten by all of his full-time teammates.

In Germany Han was able to score his first podium in car racing, finishing second in Austria after a chaotic race that contained multiple crashes from the championship protagonists.[13] He did not complete a full campaign here either, missing four rounds due to visa issues.[14]

Formula Regional[edit]

2022[edit]

Han progressed to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2022, partnering Pietro Armanni and Macéo Capietto at Monolite Racing.[14][15][16] However, after just five rounds in which he failed to score points, the Chinese driver withdrew from the championship.[17]

2023[edit]

Han competed in the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship with R&B Racing.[2] He finished the season in 35th.

Eurocup-3[edit]

Han racing in the 2023 Eurocup-3 season at Spa-Francorchamps.

For his main 2023 campaign, Han raced in Eurocup-3 with Spanish team Global Racing Service. Han would go on to claim the second podium of his racing career in the series' inaugural race at Spa-Francorchamps before his season was ended prematurely after three rounds.[18][19]

Euroformula Open[edit]

In 2024 Han joined Team Motopark to compete in the Euroformula Open Championship.[19]
