Amaury Cordeel (; born 9 July 2002) is a Belgian professional racing driver currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship with Rodin Motorsport.
His previous engagements include racing for Hitech Pulse-Eight, Invicta Virtuosi Racing, and Van Amersfoort Racing. Throughout his career, he has participated in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Formula Renault Eurocup, Toyota Racing Series, and F3 Asian Championship, alongside various Formula 4 competitions, notably securing the title in the 2018 F4 Spanish Championship.
Early formula categories
Cordeel began his single-seater career in the 2017 French F4 Championship, concluding the season in 16th place with a total of 6 points. In 2018, he took part in the 2018 SMP F4 Championship, where he achieved two victories and four podium finishes, ending eighth overall. That same year, he made selective appearances in both the 2018 ADAC Formula 4 Championship and 2018 Italian F4 Championship, though without scoring points.
Before the main racing calendar commenced, Cordeel competed in the 2017–18 Formula 4 UAE Championship for Dragon Motopark F4, where he secured one win and three podiums. His most notable achievement was during the 2018 F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport, capturing four race wins and ultimately claiming the championship title with 208 points through consistent performances among leading drivers.
2019 season
Cordeel entered the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019, driving for MP Motorsport. He finished fifteenth overall, accumulating 27 points, with his best race result being seventh at Paul Ricard.
2020 season
He continued competing in the Eurocup series in 2020, this time representing FA Racing. Once again, he placed fifteenth in the standings, achieving a top finish of sixth at Monza.
F3 Asian Championship
In 2019, Amaury took part in the F3 Asian Winter Series with Pinnacle Motorsport. He ended the campaign tenth overall with 22 points and recorded a best finish of fourth at Chang International Circuit. He did not participate in the final round of the series.
FIA Formula 3 Championship
For the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, Cordeel signed with Campos Racing. During the penultimate round at Zandvoort, although qualifying twelfth, he started race one from pole position due to reverse grid regulations. He attributed his qualifying improvement to better tyre management but was involved in a first-lap collision with Alexander Smolyar, which prevented him from capitalizing on his front-row start.
2022 season
Cordeel joined Van Amersfoort Racing for his debut season in , initially racing alongside Jake Hughes and subsequently paired with David Beckmann and Juan Manuel Correa.
In Bahrain, he finished ninth in his opening feature race but was relegated to fifteenth following a pit lane speeding penalty. At Jeddah qualifying, he incurred a ten-place grid drop plus four penalty points for disregarding red flags. A crash during the sprint race led to his withdrawal from that weekend's feature race due to car damage. At Imola, an accident prior to the sprint race was followed by multiple penalties in the feature race for pit lane speeding and track limits infringements, resulting in five penalty points. Two additional penalty points at Barcelona brought him just one point away from triggering a race ban.
His Monaco feature race concluded prematurely after a collision at the final corner. In Baku, receiving a twelfth penalty point for causing a collision led to suspension from the Silverstone round. Returning at Spielberg, he achieved his highest qualifying position of seventh that year but finished eighteenth in the sprint race after penalties for exceeding track limits and overtaking under yellow flags added another four penalty points.
Post-summer break, Cordeel showed marked improvement by avoiding further penalties and securing his first championship points with a sixth-place finish at Zandvoort. He followed this up with seventh place at Monza and earned points across both Abu Dhabi races, concluding his rookie F2 season seventeenth in the Drivers' Championship standings.
2023
Following the conclusion of the 2022 campaign, Cordeel participated in post-season testing with Virtuosi Racing after signing with Infinity Sports Management. He was officially announced as a driver for Virtuosi in the 2023 season, sharing the garage with Jack Doohan. The year proved challenging, as despite better discipline on track, Cordeel only managed to earn points on two occasions—securing eighth place finishes at Zandvoort and Monza. He ultimately ranked 20th in the standings, significantly trailing his teammate Doohan, who finished third overall.
2024
For the 2024 season, Cordeel switched to Hitech Pulse-Eight, partnering with Paul Aron. The season commenced with a retirement caused by an accident. In Jeddah, despite starting last on the grid and retiring from the sprint race, he achieved his highest F2 finish to date by coming fifth in the feature race. By season’s end, Cordeel secured 17th place in the championship with a total of 39 points, once again finishing behind teammate Aron, who claimed third position.
2025
Initially without a confirmed seat for the 2025 season, Cordeel was called up just one week before the first round to replace Christian Mansell at Rodin Motorsport for the full season after Mansell withdrew due to personal circumstances.
Personal life
Born on 9 July 2002 in Temse, Belgium, Cordeel comes from a family that has managed the Belgian construction company Cordeel Group NV since 1934. His elder brother Ghislain also pursues a career in motorsport, having competed in both the Formula Renault Eurocup and Porsche Supercup.
Cordeel has been involved in two speeding violations. In March 2021, he shared a video of speeding on TikTok but later denied being the driver. In November 2022, he received a six-month suspension of his driving license and was fined €3,600 for speeding offenses committed in 2020.
