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 6 points. In 2018 he raced in the 2018 SMP F4 Championship finishing 8th in the standings with 2 wins and 4 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 9 races. He then raced in the 2018 Italian F4 Championship with Mucke Motorsport and finished the season 31st in the standings with yet again 0 points finishes, although he only competed in 9 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 3 podiums. Cordeel's final campaign that year was in 2018 Spanish F4 Championship with MP Motorsport. Cordeel took 4 wins on the way to winning the championship with 208 points.[1] In this extremely tight season he took the 3rd most wins but was the most consistent driver of the 3 championship contenders.

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 7th at the race at Paul Ricard.

2020

In 2020 he stayed in the Eurocup and moved to FA Racing. He yet again finished 15th in the standings with a best result of 6th at Monza.[3]

F3 Asian Championship

In 2019 Amaury raced in the 2019 F3 Asian Winter Series with Pinnacle Motorsport.[4] He finished the winter series 10th with a best result of 4th 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 the Belgian 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

Cordeel took part in 2021 Formula 2 post-season testing with Van Amersfoort Racing. He was later announced to drive for the team, partnering Jake Hughes in the 2022 campaign.[7]

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.[8][9] His older brother Ghislain is also a racing driver who competed in the Formula Renault Eurocup.[10]

Cordeel caused a social media stir in March 2021 when he posted a video speeding on a Flemish motorway to his TikTok account. He later apologised, claiming it was not him driving the car.[11]
