The 2025 season marks Scottish driver Lucas Blakeley's sixth year in the F1 Sim Racing Championship. Lining up alongside McLaren Shadow teammate’s Wilson Hughes and Alfie Butcher, the trio are bidding to recapture the F1 Sim racing Drivers and Teams’ Championship titles.

Lucas is a veteran of the F1 Sim Racing World Championship, but before making his Sim Racing debut, he had been a promising karter, who had always harboured ambitions of landing in the cockpit of a physical racing car.

Since making his F1 Sim Racing debut with Aston Martin in 2021 – where he won twice and took six podiums to finish 3rd in the Drivers’ Championship - Lucas has been able to live out both dreams. He joined the McLaren Shadow team for 2022 and helped the team to a Drivers’ and Teams’ Championship double that year with a double win in the season finale.

During this time, the Scotsman has raced in GB4 and in 2024 he set a new record for the series’ largest winning margin, taking victory by 15 seconds at Silverstone. Lucas has also enjoyed success in the Race of Champions - beating Sebastian Vettel in 2022 and Valtteri Bottas in 2023 – and in Formula Ford.
