Matias Laine (born 25 April 1990 in Joensuu) is a retired Finnish racing driver.

Karting

Laine launched his motorsport journey in karting back in 2003, achieving second place in the Finnish Raket Cup Championship. Two years later, in 2005, he claimed the title in the Finnish ICA Junior category.

Formula Renault

His transition to formula racing began with the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup, where he drove for CR Scuderia and secured ninth place overall with a total of 50 points. Additionally, Laine took part in two events of the 2008 Portugal Winter Series FR2.0 held at Estoril, finishing third and thirteenth respectively.

In 2009, Laine competed simultaneously in the British Formula Renault 2.0 UK and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championships, representing CRS Racing and Motopark Academy. In the British series, he scored points in twelve races before an injury at Snetterton prematurely ended his season, resulting in a fourteenth-place finish. Meanwhile, in the Eurocup series, he accumulated six points at Silverstone, placing him twenty-second overall.

Formula Three

In 2010, Laine advanced to the Formula 3 Euro Series, joining Motopark Academy alongside fellow graduates from Formula Renault, António Félix da Costa and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs. He earned his first championship point by finishing ninth during the Hockenheim event, benefiting from the fact that guest drivers were not eligible for points.

GP3

During the 2011 season, Laine drove for Marussia Manor Racing, concluding the year in 31st position. The following year, he switched to MW Arden, where he achieved his initial GP3 points and podium finish at the Catalunya race. He claimed his maiden GP3 victory at Spa Francorchamps and secured another podium at Monza. By season’s end, Laine ranked fifth overall and earned a seat for the 2013 Formula Renault 3.5 campaign with P1 Motorsport.
