Junior racing career

edit

Karting

edit

Beckmann began karting in 2008, collecting major karting wins in 2009, 2012 and 2014. He remained in karting until 2014.[1]

Formula 4

edit
 
Beckmann at the 2015 ADAC Formula 4 Championship

In 2015, Beckmann graduated to single seaters in ADAC Formula 4 and Italian F4, racing with Mücke Motorsport. He ended the seasons fourth in Italian F4 and fifth in ADAC Formula 4, as well as taking the rookie championship in the latter.[1][2]

FIA European Formula 3 Championship

edit
 
Beckmann at the 2016 FIA Formula 3 European Championship

In December 2015, it was announced Beckmann would graduate to European Formula 3 for 2016, whilst continuing his collaboration with Mücke. On account of his age, Beckmann was forced to miss the first two rounds of the season, making his debut at the third round at Pau.[3] Nonetheless, Beckmann claimed a fastest lap and two podiums to finish seventh in the Rookie Championship and fifteenth overall. For 2017, Beckmann continued to race in European Formula 3, but switched to Van Amersfoort Racing.[4] After three rounds where he failed to score a point with the outfit, Beckmann made a mid-season change to Motopark where he fared better, amassing 45 points and ending up 16th in his second year in the category.[5]

GP3 Series

edit
 
Beckmann with Jenzer Motorsport in 2018

For 2018 Beckmann partnered Juan Manuel Correa and Tatiana Calderón at Jenzer Motorsport in the final year of the GP3 Series. Having scored 12 points after the fourth round of the championship, Beckmann switched over to Trident. His results improved drastically, and the German achieved three race wins as well as another podium, which led him to fifth in the standings.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

edit

2019

edit
 
Beckmann with ART Grand Prix in 2019

In 2019, Beckmann competed for the French team ART Grand Prix in the newly formed FIA Formula 3 Championship.

2020

edit

In 2020, he returned to Formula 3, this time with Trident, and finished sixth overall after two wins and four further podium finishes.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

edit

2021

edit

In 2021, Beckmann moved up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship with the Czech team Charouz Racing System, where was joined by Guilherme Samaia.[6] Throughout the first half of the season Beckmann showed impressive performances, such as a third-place finish in his debut race at Sakhir and second place in race 2 in Baku, which, along with two further points finishes, propelled him to 13th in the standings after four rounds.[7][8] At the start of September however it was announced Enzo Fittipaldi would replace Beckmann from the next round at Monza, due to the German having to shift his focus to the family business for financial issues.[9] But just a few days before the start of that weekend Beckmann signed up to race for Campos in place of Matteo Nannini.[10] He competed for the Spanish team in the next two rounds, scoring a best finish of fifth at Monza, although Beckmann would ultimately be unable to finish his season, being replaced by Olli Caldwell. The German ended the campaign 15th in the standings.

2022

edit

In 2022, Beckmann originally made four cameo appearances, but had later been announced as a permanent driver. The first of which he drove for Charouz's No. 23 car at Imola in place of Cem Bölükbaşı, finishing 8th in the feature race. He then drove for Van Amersfoort Racing's No. 25 car at Silverstone in place of Amaury Cordeel. He would then compete again for the same team, but in the No. 24, at Le Castellet and Budapest in place of Jake Hughes.[11] However, Van Amersfoort Racing decided to replace Hughes with Beckmann for the rest of the season, starting at Spa-Francorchamps, thus his cameo deputization driver role would become a permanent driver role until the final round at Abu Dhabi, where he would be replaced by Juan Manuel Correa.[12]

Formula E

edit

In February 2022, on the week of the Mexico City ePrix, Beckmann was announced to be the test and reserve driver of the Avalanche Andretti Formula E team.[13]

For the 2022-23 season, Beckmann continued his duties with Andretti, whilst also joining Porsche as a reserve driver.[14]

Avalanche Andretti Formula E (2023)

edit

edit

Beckmann made his Formula E debut with Avalanche Andretti for the Jakarta ePrix double-header, deputising for André Lotterer as he prepared for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[15]

Porsche reserve driver (2024)

edit

Beckmann continued as the reserve driver for Porsche.[16]
