All of the latest Robert Shwartzman news, rumours, opinions and updates about the Russian-Israeli racing driver brought to you by Full Oversteer. Shwartzman was born in Tel Aviv, Israel and soon started racing in go-karts at the age of five before climbing up the motorsport ladder.
Success came early for Shwartzman with his first karting titles arriving just four years after first experiencing a go-kart. He moved to single-seaters in Italian F4 midway through 2014, before finishing third in the 2015 standings. Shwartzman also fought for the Formula Renault Eurocup title in 2017 and Formula 2 title in 2021, while winning the Formula 3 Championship in 2019.
Shwartzman also joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2017, which led to working as a test driver for the Scuderia in Formula 1. He left the FDA in 2023 before debuting in the World Endurance Championship with AF Corse in 2024, driving a Ferrari 499P in the Hypercar class.
