Career Edit
Karting Edit
Eriksson began his karting career in 2007. He remained in karting until 2014.
Formula 4 Edit
In 2014, Eriksson made his debut in open-wheel racing in the ADAC Formel Masters. In 2015 he stayed in the series, now called ADAC Formula 4, and finished the season second in the standings.
F3 European Championship Edit
In 2016, Eriksson moved to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Motopark. He won one race at Spa-Francorchamps and was 5th in the championship standings. He continued with the team into the 2017 season, where he was runner-up to Carlin's Lando Norris with 7 wins.
DTM Edit
Two seasons in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driving for BMW Team RBM followed. Eriksson achieved his maiden DTM victory in 2018 at Misano in a rain-drenched night race, becoming the second-youngest DTM race winner in the process.[1][2] He racked up a further two podiums the following year.
Formula E Edit
Eriksson tested Formula E machinery for the first time in January 2018, driving for DS Virgin Racing in the 2018 rookie test at Marrakesh.[3]
Eriksson was named by Dragon Racing as its official test and reserve driver for the 2019–20 season, taking part in the March 2020 rookie test at Marrakesh.[4] He retained the role the following year as the team rebranded as Dragon / Penske Autosport. He made his debut in the championship at the 2021 Puebla ePrix, replacing regular driver Nico Müller, who left the team due to several clashing commitments.[5] He finished the 2021 season with one point in eight races.
Personal life Edit
Eriksson is the younger brother of racing driver Jimmy Eriksson, who raced in the 2016 GP2 season.
