Grégoire Matthieu Saucy (; born 26 December 1999) is a Swiss racing driver currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with United Autosports.

Saucy claimed the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship crown while driving for ART.

V de V Challenge Monoplace

Saucy launched his single-seater journey in 2016, initially racing for RC Formula and subsequently for GSK Grand Prix within the V de V Challenge Monoplace. Throughout the season, he secured three podium finishes—all second places—at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, ultimately ranking fourth in the overall standings.

2017

In 2017, Saucy joined Jenzer Motorsport as a guest entrant in the 2017 Italian F4 Championship. Over six races, he earned points twice, both occasions occurring at Mugello Circuit.

2018

Competing again as a guest driver with Jenzer Motorsport, Saucy took part in the 2018 ADAC Formula 4 Championship, finishing eleventh and fifth in his two appearances.

He also participated in the 2018 Italian F4 Championship initially with Jenzer before transferring to the French outfit R-ace GP for the final round. His top result was fifth place, complemented by securing two pole positions at Monza. He completed the season 11th overall with 63 points.

2019

During 2019, Saucy undertook a full campaign in the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship representing R-ace GP. He achieved two podiums at Circuit Zandvoort and Sachsenring, concluding ninth overall and trailing teammate Michael Belov by 28 points.

Additionally, he made selective appearances in the 2019 Italian F4 Championship for R-ace GP across three rounds. His best finish was fourth at the Red Bull Ring, ending the season in 15th place.

2017

Saucy made his Formula Renault debut during the 2017 season with AVF, managed by Adrián Vallés. He participated solely in the first four rounds and attained a highest finish of twelfth, concluding low in the championship classification.

2019

Returning to the Formula Renault Eurocup for its final two rounds, Saucy raced as a guest driver with R-ace GP. He finished fifth in his initial race and placed twelfth across the following three contests.

2020

In 2020, Saucy joined forces with ART Grand Prix, alongside teammates Paul Aron and Victor Martins. He secured his maiden podium by finishing third at the Nürburgring, followed by another third-place at Spa-Francorchamps, wrapping up the season seventh overall.

Toyota Racing Series

At the outset of 2020, Saucy signed with Giles Motorsport to compete in the Toyota Racing Series. He earned two runner-up finishes and achieved sixth place in the championship standings.

Formula Regional European Championship

Continuing with ART Grand Prix in 2021, Saucy contested the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine—a series formed through merging the former Formula Renault Eurocup and the original Formula Regional European Championship. His teammates included Gabriele Minì and Thomas ten Brinke. He began strongly by winning at both Imola and twice at Barcelona. After a round without points at Monaco and a disqualification in France due to technical non-compliance, he bounced back with victory at Paul Ricard.

At Circuit Zandvoort, Saucy dominated by securing two pole positions and converting both into wins. Despite qualifying setbacks placing him 24th on the grid at Spa-Francorchamps, he recovered to eighth before winning race two from pole position. In round seven, he was awarded victory following a penalty imposed on initial winner Franco Colapinto. He then recorded his first podium without a win by finishing third at Valencia, entering the penultimate event holding a commanding 78-point advantage over challenger Hadrien David.

By finishing fifth in race one at Mugello, while his closest rival ended up 23rd, Saucy secured the championship title with three races still remaining. He closed out the year with eight victories, ten podiums, and an aggregate of 277 points, standing on the podium in half of all races contested.

2022

In November 2021, Saucy took part in the post-season testing for the FIA Formula 3 Championship with ART Grand Prix, sharing the garage with Victor Martins and Juan Manuel Correa. Soon after, ART officially announced him as one of their drivers for the 2022 campaign.<ref> On his debut, he qualified in fourth place, surpassing his teammates' performance. Despite an early retirement caused by a collision with Martins that led to a grid penalty, Saucy achieved his inaugural podium finish during the feature race at Sakhir.<ref> At Imola, he was on course for another podium but was eliminated on the last lap. His results declined afterwards, with points only reappearing in the sprint race at Hungary. The season wrapped up with a mixture of outcomes, including points-scoring finishes at Zandvoort and Monza alongside some retirements. Saucy admitted that his final standings did not fully represent the speed he and ART demonstrated. He completed the year in 15th place overall, trailing both Martins and Correa.<ref>

2023

In November 2022, ART Grand Prix confirmed that Saucy would remain with the squad for the 2023 season, joining teammates Kaylen Frederick and Nikola Tsolov.<ref> Starting the year strong, he qualified third at the Bahrain event and finished fourth in the feature race. He then improved to a front-row starting position in Melbourne.<ref> Saucy secured his first podium of the season by finishing second, establishing himself as a serious contender for the championship.<ref> Another podium came during the Monaco sprint race, despite receiving a penalty from reverse pole position.<ref> Similar to the previous season, he managed only three further points finishes. A notable moment was achieving pole position at Austria,<ref> although a puncture prevented him from capitalizing on the lead battle.<ref> After facing multiple setbacks throughout the campaign, Saucy concluded the season in 14th place with 54 points, making him ART's highest-ranked driver.<ref>

Following the season's end, Saucy participated in testing sessions with MP Motorsport at Imola.<ref>

2024: GT3 & LMP2 debut

Following two demanding years in FIA Formula 3, Saucy shifted his focus to endurance racing by joining United Autosports in the LMGT3 category of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship. The team started without scoring points but managed to secure a fourth-place finish at the Spa-Francorchamps event. Although they retired from contention at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, Saucy rebounded with back-to-back fourth-place results in São Paulo and Austin. After a sixth-place finish at the 2024 8 Hours of Bahrain, United Autosports stood ninth in the LMGT3 championship rankings.

Simultaneously, Saucy competed in the LMP2 Pro-Am division of the 2024 European Le Mans Series with Richard Mille by TDS, teaming up with experienced prototype driver Mathias Beche and bronze-rated driver Rodrigo Sales. The squad earned a Pro-Am class podium at the season opener held in Barcelona, followed by a victory at Le Castellet. Saucy claimed pole position at Spa-Francorchamps but was forced to retire after an incident following a safety car restart. He bounced back with another win at the 4 Hours of Mugello. The season ended positively as Saucy and his teammates secured fourth place overall in the LMP2 standings.

2025

Saucy maintained his partnership with United Autosports to participate in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship within the LMGT3 division.

Formula E

In May 2024, Saucy was chosen by the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team to take part in the rookie test held at the Berlin track.
