Joseph Terry Mawson (born 27 March 1996 in Sydney) is an Australian race car driver with Peruvian heritage. He has claimed the Australian S5000 Championship title twice.
Currently, Mawson faces a three-year suspension from competition, which will conclude in May 2026, following an anti-doping rule breach.
Career
Starting karting at the age of seven, Mawson excelled in junior categories, accumulating 19 state and 3 national championships between 2003 and 2012. In 2011, he secured second place in the Junior Max division at the Rotax World Championships and was recognized as Australia's top karter in 2010.
Europe
Mawson's first foray into open-wheel racing was in the 2014 French F4 Championship. There, he achieved pole position and a victory at the Bugatti Circuit, ultimately finishing fourth overall with 188 points and three wins. The following year, he competed in ADAC Formula 4 with Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR), outperforming teammates Harrison Newey and Mick Schumacher to secure third place with five victories.
In 2016, remaining with VAR in ADAC Formula 4, Mawson won ten out of twenty-four races to claim the championship, finishing ahead of Schumacher by a margin of 52 points. This success granted him an opportunity to test VAR's European F3 vehicle at Monza, where he matched the fastest lap times set by Lando Norris.
Advancing to European Formula 3 in 2017 with VAR, Mawson encountered challenges and ended the season thirteenth overall, achieving a single podium finish at Nürburgring. In 2018, he participated in the final GP3 Series season driving for Arden International, concluding thirteenth with two podiums earned in France and Russia.
Transitioning to Porsche racing in 2019, Mawson competed in the Porsche Supercup representing Team Australia and took part in several Porsche Carrera Cup Germany races as preparation for a full campaign in 2020.
Australia
Returning to Australia in 2021 as a late entrant to the S5000 Championship, Mawson secured the championship title by winning three races ahead of competitor Thomas Randle. He successfully retained this championship in 2022.
Anti-doping violation
During the 2023 S5000 season in June 2023, Mawson was provisionally suspended by Motorsport Australia after failing a doping test. In September 2024, he was handed a three-year competition ban retroactive to May 2023 after testing positive for meldonium, a substance found in a supplement he had consumed.
