Amaury Cordeel (ˈkɔrdeːl; born 9 July 2002) is a Belgian racing driver who is set to compete in GT World Challenge Europe for Team WRT.

Cordeel drove four seasons in Formula 2 for Rodin, Hitech, Virtuosi and Van Amersfoort Racing. He previously raced in FIA Formula 3 and Formula Renault Eurocup, and won the 2018 F4 Spanish Championship with MP Motorsport.

Single-seater career

Lower formulae

Cordeel raced in various types on F4 and made his single seater debut in the 2017 French F4 Championship finishing 16th in the standings with six points. In 2018, he raced in the 2018 SMP F4 Championship finishing 8th in the standings with two wins and four podiums overall. That year he also raced in the 2018 ADAC Formula 4 Championship with ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. He finished the championship in 23rd with no points to his name but he only competed in nine races. He then raced in the 2018 Italian F4 Championship with Mucke Motorsport and finished the season 31st in the standings with yet again no points finishes, although he only competed in nine races. Before the real season got underway Cordeel raced in the 2017–18 Formula 4 UAE Championship with Dragon Motopark F4. He finished the season with a race win and three podiums. Cordeel's final campaign that year was in 2018 Spanish F4 Championship with MP Motorsport. Cordeel took four wins on the way to winning the championship with 208 points.[1] In this extremely tight season, he took the third most wins but was the most consistent driver of the three championship contenders.

Formula Renault Eurocup

2019

Cordeel made his debut in the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019 with MP Motorsport.[2] He finished 15th in the standings with 27 points and a best finish of seventh at the race at Paul Ricard.

2020

In 2020, Cordeel stayed in the Eurocup and moved to FA Racing. He yet again finished 15th in the standings with a best result of sixth at Monza.[3]

F3 Asian Championship

In 2019, Cordeel raced in the 2019 F3 Asian Winter Series with Pinnacle Motorsport.[4] He finished the winter series tenth with a best result of fourth at the Chang International Circuit. He scored a total of 22 points and didn't compete in the final round.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

Cordeel was announced to race in the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship with Campos Racing.[5] At the penultimate round of the season, he qualified in twelfth position, leading to him starting from pole in race one. Cordeel attributed his strong qualifying to him having finally gotten to grips with the tyre degradation.[6] He was unable to use his advantage, as he was involved in a first-lap incident with Alexander Smolyar.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

2022

Cordeel took part in 2021 Formula 2 post-season testing with Van Amersfoort Racing. He was later announced as one of the team's drivers for the season, initially partnering Jake Hughes and later driving alongside David Beckmann and Juan Manuel Correa.[7]

Cordeel finished ninth in his first feature race in Bahrain but was demoted to fifteenth for speeding in the pit lane twice. He then received a ten-place grid penalty and four penalty points for failing to slow for red flags during qualifying in Jeddah.[8] He crashed during the sprint race and was forced to withdraw from the feature race as his car could not be repaired in time.[9] At the Imola round, he crashed on his way to the sprint race grid and failed to start.[10] During the feature race, he was penalised twice for speeding in the pit lane and committed six track limits violations,[11] collecting five more penalty points.[12] At the next race in Barcelona, he received another two penalty points for being out of position on the formation lap, leaving him one point away from a race ban.[13] His Monaco feature race ended after hitting the wall at the final corner.[14] He then received a twelfth penalty point at the Baku feature race for causing a collision with Olli Caldwell,[15] meaning he received a ban from the Silverstone round.[16]

On his return to the series at the Austrian round, Cordeel achieved his highest qualifying result of the year with seventh place. He was classified eighteenth in the sprint race having been handed penalties for track limits violations and overtaking under yellow flag conditions, receiving four more penalty points. Cordeel's form improved after the summer break; he received no further penalty points during the season and scored his first championship points at the Zandvoort feature race, finishing sixth. He followed this with a seventh-place finish at the Monza feature race and points in both races in Abu Dhabi, leaving him 17th in the Drivers' Championship at the conclusion of his debut season.

2023

After the end of the 2022 season, Cordeel took part in the post-season test with Virtuosi Racing, having been signed to the Infinity Sports Management programme on the previous day.[17] Shortly afterwards, he was announced as a Virtuosi driver, partnering Jack Doohan for the 2023 season.[18] The season brought few returns: despite cleaner on-track behaviour, Cordeel only managed to finish in the points twice, with eighth places at Zandvoort and Monza putting him 20th in the championship, a long way down from teammate Doohan who finished third.[19]

2024

Cordeel switched to Hitech Pulse-Eight for the 2024 season, becoming teammates with Paul Aron.[20] At the opening round of the season, he retired due to an accident.[21] In Jeddah, he qualified last and retired from the sprint race,[22][23] before finishing fifth in the feature race, his best performance in F2 to date.[24] Cordeel ended the season 17th in the standings with 39 points, once again well behind his teammate, as Aron finished third.

2025

Cordeel was initially left without a Formula 2 seat for the 2025 season. However a week prior to the season opener, Cordeel was drafted in to replace Christian Mansell at Rodin Motorsport for the full season, as the Australian withdrew due to personal reasons.[25] After just scoring three points, he was replaced for the final two rounds by Martinius Stenshorne.[26]

Sportscar career

In 2026, Cordeel joined Belgian outfit Team WRT, driving a BMW M4 GT3 Evo in the Silver Cup class of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup alongside Matisse Lismont and Ignacio Montenegro, while partnering BMW factory driver Jordan Pepper in the Pro class of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup.[27]

Personal life

Cordeel was born on 9 July 2002 in Temse, near Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. His family runs Belgian construction company Cordeel Group NV since 1934.[28][29] His older brother Ghislain is also a racing driver who competed in the Formula Renault Eurocup and the Porsche Supercup.[30]

Cordeel has been charged with speeding twice. In March 2021, he posted a video speeding on a Flemish motorway to his TikTok account, and later apologised claiming it was not him driving the car.[31] In November 2022, he fronted a Belgian court over an incident in 2020 where he was alleged to have been doing 179kph in a 50kph zone, and was given a 6-month road licence suspension and a €3,600 fine.[32]
