Yuanpu Cui
Yuanpu was born in Xi’an, China, in 2008 and first drove a go-kart at the age of six. He joined the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s junior squad in 2021, off the back of a positive season of growth and development.

Racing is in Yuanpu’s blood because his father was also a racing driver. He first began racing professionally in 2014 with events in China and by 2016, he finished second in the Chinese Rotax series. Over the next few seasons, he began to expand his racing outside of China, competing in events all around the world, picking up podium finishes in 60 Mini and Mini ROK classes across the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

In 2020, he picked up a P2 position in the 31° Andrea Margutti Trophy in OK Junior, scored victories and podiums in the WSK Champions Cup in 60 Mini and scored podiums in the WSK Super Master Series in 60 Mini. For 2021, he continued racing in OK Junior classes with Kart Republic (Argenti Motorsport), competing in a number of different karting series, and will step up to OK for 2022.
