Luis William Mahendra Leeds (born 6 March 2000) is a racing driver of Australian-Indonesian heritage, currently participating in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia representing the Supercars Championship outfit 23Red Racing.

In 2016, Leeds was part of the Red Bull Junior Team and also worked as a development driver for 23Red Racing.

Formula 4

In the 2015 Australian Formula 4 Championship, Leeds secured sixth place while racing with Dream Motorsport.

The following year, he became a member of the Red Bull Junior Team and competed in the F4 British Championship under TRS Arden Junior Racing Team. He ended the season third overall, claiming three victories. Despite this achievement, it was not enough to maintain his spot within the Red Bull Junior program.

Formula Renault

Leeds advanced to the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series in 2017, driving for Josef Kaufmann Racing. He earned points in two races, with his highest finish being seventh at Silverstone.

Australian Formula 4 Championship 2019

During the 2019 season of the Australian F4 Championship, Leeds participated in 18 events with AGI Sport. He achieved an impressive tally of 17 podium finishes and nine wins, including triumph at the Australian F1 Grand Prix event—adding to his earlier victory at the Mexico F1 event in 2015. This performance led him to clinch the championship title decisively.

Due to financial difficulties and uncertainty about his future in motorsport, Leeds chose to retire from racing at age 24 to explore other career paths.

Personal background

Luis Leeds was born on March 6, 2000, in Melbourne to parents of mixed Australian and Indonesian descent. His mother, Maria Leeds (née Eni), is Indonesian, while his father, Dean Leeds, is Australian. From 2006 until 2012, he attended primary school in Ngawi, Indonesia before moving to Australia to further his motorsport ambitions.

Leeds practices Protestantism and regularly attends church services both in Australia and Indonesia.
