Atte Mustonen (born 16 September 1988 in Heinola, Finland), is a professional driver specializing in single-seater motor racing competitions.
Motorsport career
Mustonen initiated his karting journey at 11 years old, achieving victory in the Finnish ICA Junior Karting Championship consecutively in 2002 and 2003. His outstanding performance earned him the title of Finnish Karting Driver of the Year in 2003.
In 2004, he claimed the Finnish Formula A Championship and was once again honored as Finnish Karting Driver of the Year. That year, he also took part in international contests such as the Winter Cup, Constructor Cup, and Pomposa Cup, which helped expand his reputation beyond national borders.
The following year, 2005, saw Mustonen secure the Italian FR 2.0 Winter Trophy and earn multiple podium finishes within the European series during 2006.
For the 2007 British Formula 3 season, Mustonen was signed by Räikkönen Robertson Racing, where he competed alongside Jonathan Kennard and Stephen Jelley. He set a new lap record at Snetterton and triumphed in the second race at Thruxton, ultimately ranking seventh in the championship standings.
Returning to British F3 in 2008, Mustonen achieved one victory at Rockingham and concluded the season sixth overall, narrowly missing fifth place to Marcus Ericsson.
In 2009, Mustonen participated in the Formula Three Euroseries with Motopark Academy alongside teammate Christopher Zanella. Due to health complications, he missed several rounds at Oschersleben, where Renger van der Zande temporarily replaced him. He made a comeback for races at the Nürburgring and Brands Hatch, before van der Zande resumed driving duties from the Barcelona event onward.
