Career

Karting

Born in Nancy, Henrion started his karting career in 2014. His only title came in the French Karting Championship in the Cadet class in 2015 against future Formula Renault Eurocup champion Victor Martins.[1] Henrion moved into international karting in 2016, racing in the European and World Championships with his father's team. The Frenchman remained in karts until 2017, where he finished second in the WSK Champions Cup to Ilya Morozov in the OKJ-class.[2]

Lower formulae

In 2018 Henrion made his single-seater racing debut with an appearance in the final round of the French F4 Championship at Le Castellet. He finished all races in the top ten, however due to him being a guest driver Henrion didn't score any points.[3]

The next year the Frenchman continued racing in French F4.[4] Despite only winning one race at the Hungaroring, Henrion stayed very consistent throughout the campaign, finishing in the points in all races he contested. With four third-placed finishes the Frenchman finished fifth in the FFSA standings.[5] Due to Victor Bernier's classification as a rookie Henrion ended up fourth in the FIA Formula 4 standings, earning him five FIA Super Licence points.

Formula Regional European Championship

In 2020 Henrion announced that he would drive for the family-run team Gillian Track Events GTE in the Formula Regional European Championship.[6] He scored points at every event and got one podium in the rookie championship. The most notable moment of his season came at the second race in Mugello, where, due to a strategy gamble, Henrion found himself in the lead by almost half a minute, and finished the race in fourth place, which ended up being his best result of the year.[7] Henrion finished tenth in the overall standings.[8]
