Andy Christian Soucek (; born 14 June 1985) is a professional racing driver holding Spanish and Austrian nationalities.

Career

Born in Madrid, Spain, Soucek is the son of an Austrian father with Czech roots and a French mother. Although he possesses both Austrian and Spanish citizenship, he competes under the Spanish banner, emphasizing his strong connection to Spain.

Karting

Soucek initiated his karting career in 1997 before moving into formula racing through Portuguese Formula Ford in 2001. While continuing karting activities alongside competing in Spanish Formula Three in 2002, he shifted exclusively to formula racing from 2003 onward.

Formula Three

In 2004, Soucek primarily raced with the EV team and also participated in two events for GTA. His significant breakthrough occurred in 2005 after joining Llusia, where he clinched the Spanish Formula Three Championship title.

GP2 Series

After delivering an impressive performance in the 2006 World Series by Renault, Soucek secured a seat with David Price Racing (DPR) for the 2007 GP2 Series. He began the 2008 GP2 Asia Series driving for DPR but switched to Fisichella Motor Sport (FMS International) for the main 2008 season. Nevertheless, FMS terminated his contract just days before the opening race, replacing him with Roldán Rodríguez, which resulted in a legal battle that Soucek ultimately won.

Midway through the season, Soucek returned to competition by substituting for the injured Christian Bakkerud at Super Nova Racing. After two rounds, he rejoined DPR as a stand-in for Giacomo Ricci and earned his first championship point. Subsequently, he secured a full-time position at Super Nova, achieving a podium finish at Hungaroring along with several points-scoring results, finishing the season level as the highest-ranked Spanish driver alongside Rodríguez.

Superleague Formula and Formula Two

In the first race of the 2008 Superleague Formula season, Soucek represented Brazilian outfit Corinthians, managed by the EuroInternational group, stepping in for primary driver Antônio Pizzonia, who was competing in Stock Car Brasil.

From the second round onward, he signed with Atlético Madrid to complete the remainder of the 2008 season.

During 2009, Soucek raced in the revived FIA Formula Two Championship, piloting car number 22. He secured the championship crown with three races left to run. As part of his award, he tested for the Williams Formula One team on December 1, recording the fastest lap time of that session.

Formula One testing

Soucek pursued a reserve driver role with Williams for , but the team opted to sign Valtteri Bottas instead. He subsequently joined Virgin Racing as a test driver alongside Luiz Razia. In August 2010, Soucek departed from Virgin Racing citing breach of contract due to insufficient testing opportunities. The following month, he returned to Superleague Formula competition with Galatasaray.

Sportscar racing

Transitioning into GT racing, Soucek made his debut at the final round of the 2012 Blancpain Endurance Series held at Circuito de Navarra with Boutsen-Ginion Racing. He later joined ART Grand Prix to compete in a McLaren MP4-12C during the 2013 Blancpain Endurance campaign.

In 2011, together with Derrick Vopelka and Jorge Gil, he co-established Integrated Racing Performance, a consultancy firm specializing in driver development.
