Career edit

Mawson started his career in karting at the age of 7, and soon began to dominate the Junior karting scene, winning 19 state and 3 national titles between 2003 and 2012. He also finished 2nd in the Junior Max category at the 2011 Rotax World Championships, and was named Australia's best karter in 2010 by various media.[3]

Open Wheel edit

He made his open-wheel debut in French F4 in 2014, qualifying on pole and winning on debut at the inaugural round at the Bugatti Circuit. He completed all but the final round of the season, finishing 4th having amassed 188 points along with 3 wins. In 2015 he moved to ADAC Formula 4 where he joined Van Amersfoort Racing alongside Harrison Newey and Mick Schumacher. Despite the pressure from his highly rated teammates he beat them both in the championship, finishing 3rd with 5 wins, finishing 2 points shy of 2nd place.

In 2016, he remained with VAR in ADAC Formula 4. He won 10 out of 24 races on his way to the title, beating now Prema driver Schumacher by 52 points. As a result, he was given the opportunity test one of VAR's European F3 cars at Monza, managing to trade fastest laps with Lando Norris.

In 2017, Mawson graduated to European Formula 3, whilst continuing his collaboration with VAR.[4] However, he struggled throughout the season, finishing only thirteenth in the standings with one podium finish at the Nürburgring.

In 2018, Mawson is contesting the final season of the GP3 Series with Arden International.[5] He finished the season thirteenth with two podiums. One each in France and Russia.

Porsche Cup edit

In 2019 he started his Porsche Carrera Cup career. Firstly starting in Australia, then Supercup with Team Australia. Later in 2019, we started his first Porsche Carrera Cup Germany race.
