Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard Habsburg-Lothringen (born 21 June 1997) is an Austrian professional racing driver and the designated successor to the leadership of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. He currently competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship representing the Alpine Endurance Team and participates in the European Le Mans Series with Nielsen Racing.
In 2021, Habsburg secured victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and clinched the FIA World Endurance Championship title in the LMP2 category, alongside teammates Charles Milesi and Robin Frijns.
Early life and family
Born on 21 June 1997, Ferdinand Habsburg is the son of Karl von Habsburg and Francesca von Thyssen-Bornemisza. As a scion of the House of Habsburg, his paternal lineage includes Otto von Habsburg, the final crown prince of Austria-Hungary, and Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen. On his maternal side, his grandparents are Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza and Fiona Campbell-Walter, who descends from the Campbell baronets of Airds. His cousin, fellow racer Jamie Campbell-Walter, also serves as his manager.
Ferdinand was baptized on 20 September 1997 in Zagreb by Cardinal Franjo Kuharić. His godparents included his uncle Georg von Habsburg, Alois-Konstantin, 9th Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, as well as Queen Margarita of Bulgaria and Agnes Husslein. He received the traditional Croatian name Zvonimir at baptism.
He has two sisters, Eleonore von Habsburg and Gloria von Habsburg; Eleonore is married to former racing driver Jérôme d'Ambrosio.
As heir apparent to the leadership of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, a position held by his father since 1 January 2007, Ferdinand's noble titles remain unofficial due to Austria's abolition of royal titles in 1918.
Karting
At age 14, Habsburg embarked on his racing journey with the Austrian Speedworld Academy, consistently racing under number 62. After four years competing successfully in the ROTAX Junior division—where he secured multiple championship titles—he progressed to Rotax DD2 in 2014. He qualified for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals on three occasions, achieving his highest placement of eleventh in 2013.
Formula Renault 1.6 NEC
Habsburg made his single-seater debut in 2014 with Lechner Racing during the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC Championship. Over fifteen races, he completed every event and finished fourth overall.
Toyota Racing Series
Early in 2015, he raced in New Zealand's Toyota Racing Series with Victory Motor Racing, concluding the season eleventh overall and fifth among rookies, including two podium finishes. Returning for the 2016 campaign with Giles Motorsport, he improved to fourth place in the standings behind prominent drivers such as Lando Norris. That year, he achieved four podiums and recorded his first car race victory at Mike Pero Motorsport Park. In his final season in 2017 with M2 Competition, he secured eighth position overall along with two podium appearances.
Formula Renault 2.0 NEC
In 2015, Habsburg progressed to the Formula Renault Northern European Cup, competing with Fortec Motorsports. He took part in the initial five rounds and achieved his best result of fifth place at his home race held at the Red Bull Ring, ultimately finishing 19th in the overall standings.
Euroformula Open Championship
Habsburg made his first appearance in the Euroformula Open Championship during the 2015 season finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he secured top-ten finishes in both races.
He then committed to a full season in 2016 with Drivex School. Although he started the year trailing title favorite Leonardo Pulcini, he claimed his maiden victory at Circuit Paul Ricard. Over the course of 16 races, Habsburg earned twelve podiums, including a win at Barcelona, concluding the season as runner-up with a total of seven additional podium finishes.
2017
In 2017, Habsburg advanced to compete in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Carlin Motorsport. During the season, he secured four podium placements and recorded a victory at Spa-Francorchamps. His most notable performance occurred at the season-ending Macau Grand Prix, where he engaged in a fierce battle for the lead against Brazilian driver Sérgio Sette Câmara. On the final lap, Habsburg briefly assumed first place but braked too late into a corner, resulting in contact with the barriers and a damaged suspension; he ultimately finished fourth. Despite this setback, his drive received commendations from both his team and media outlets, underscoring an impressive campaign overall.
2018
Returning to the championship in 2018 with Carlin, alongside teammates Jehan Daruvala, Sacha Fenestraz, Nikita Troitskiy, and Ameya Vaidyanathan, Habsburg was unable to match his prior success. He managed only a single podium finish at Misano and ended the season 13th in the drivers' standings.
2019
Habsburg joined R-Motorsport II in 2019 to pilot an Aston Martin Vantage DTM car within the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series. He earned points finishes at Circuit Zolder and Norisring, concluding the year 18th in the driver rankings.
2020
In 2020, he transitioned to Audi Sport Team WRT to compete with an Audi RS5 Turbo DTM vehicle. Demonstrating marked improvement, Habsburg achieved ten points-scoring finishes that season, including a podium result at Circuit Zolder. He finished tenth overall in the drivers' championship with 68 points, surpassing teammates Fabio Scherer and Harrison Newey.
2020
During 2020, Habsburg participated in the virtual edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans representing Mahle Racing. Driving a 2018 Aston Martin Vantage GTE alongside former IndyCar driver Robert Wickens and sim racers Jimmy Broadbent and Kevin Rotting, their team completed the race in 46th position.
2021
Habsburg kicked off 2021 competing in the 2021 Asian Le Mans Series with G-Drive Racing. Alongside teammates Yifei Ye and Rene Binder, the trio captured the drivers' championship, securing two wins during the season. He also took part in the 2021 24 Hours of Daytona representing High Class Racing, joining forces with Robert Kubica, Dennis Andersen, and Anders Fjordbach; however, their race ended prematurely due to a gearbox malfunction.
On 26 February, Habsburg entered the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship season with Team WRT, teaming up with Robin Frijns and Charles Milesi behind the wheel of an Oreca 07 in the LMP2 category. The team placed tenth in the opening round at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, followed by a fourth-place finish at the 8 Hours of Portimão. At the 6 Hours of Monza, Habsburg achieved his inaugural LMP2 podium by finishing second. During the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans, Team WRT triumphed in the LMP2 class under dramatic circumstances after their sister car encountered a throttle sensor issue on the final lap. After a two-month hiatus, Habsburg and his teammates claimed victory at the 6 Hours of Bahrain. The subsequent weekend saw them secure the LMP2 championship title with a third consecutive win at the 8 Hours of Bahrain. This accomplishment marked Habsburg as the first Austrian to earn the LMP2 title in the World Endurance Championship.
2022
For 2022, Habsburg continued competing in the WEC, piloting the #41 entry for RealTeam by WRT alongside teammates Rui Andrade and Norman Nato. The squad achieved three podium finishes throughout the season, including a victory at the 6 Hours of Monza, ultimately concluding the championship in fourth place.
Concurrently, Habsburg participated in the European Le Mans Series with Prema Racing. The team dominated early rounds, capturing victory at the season opener held at Paul Ricard, a success Habsburg described as an "honour." They continued their strong form with wins at both Imola—despite teammate Lorenzo Colombo incurring two drive-through penalties—and at Barcelona, which extended their lead in the championship standings. Additional podium placements included a solid result at Spa. Ultimately, Prema Racing secured the ELMS title after winning at Portimão, granting Habsburg and teammate Louis Delétraz the drivers' championship crown.
2023
The Austrian racer continued his tenure with Team WRT in the 2023 WEC season, teaming up once again with Sean Gelael and reuniting alongside Robin Frijns. Despite encountering challenges such as a suspension malfunction at the Le Mans race that eliminated podium chances, an engine breakdown that forced withdrawal while leading at Monza, and a wheel gun complication that caused a drop from first to second place at Bahrain, the trio secured fourth place overall.
2024
In the 2024 season, Habsburg progressed to the premier category of the WEC, joining the Alpine Endurance Team and piloting the Alpine A424. He participated in the initial event, the Qatar 1812 km, where he finished in eighth position. Unfortunately, a crash during testing at MotorLand Aragón on March 27 caused two fractured lumbar vertebrae, which forced him to miss the subsequent two rounds at Imola and Spa. During his recovery, reserve driver Jules Gounon took over his driving duties. Habsburg made his comeback at the 24 Hours of Le Mans event.

Dynastic Engagements
In 2011, Archduke Ferdinand Zvonimir participated in the Requiem Mass held at Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral, honoring his grandfather Otto von Habsburg, who was the former leader of the House of Habsburg and claimant to the Austro-Hungarian crown.
On June 28, 2014, Ferdinand gathered with over 120 direct descendants of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Artstetten Castle to observe the centenary of Franz Ferdinand's assassination.
Ferdinand received knighthood in the Order of St. George on May 5, 2016, conferred by his father, Archduke Karl, the Grand Master of the order. This chivalric order dates back to Rudolph I of Germany, who served as Holy Roman Emperor from 1273 until 1291.
In 2022, Ferdinand and his relatives marked the centennial anniversary of Charles I of Austria's passing.
