56Faxeo is a British Formula 1 driver who competes for FordAudi in the 2025 Formula One World Championship. He is the 2025-26 and current Vice-Champion. He currently leads the 2026 World Drivers Championship standings.
Faxeo joined the Formula 1 grid in 2023 for Alaska Racing (now Renault). After finishing his first two Grand Prix in ninth and in the points, the British driver only raced in seven further rounds that season with three more points finishes including a sixth place at the 2023 Medan Grand Prix. Faxeo finished the 2023 season 15th in the final drivers standings with with 15 points.
In 2025 Spring, 56Faxeo returned to EMC racing having not competed at all throughout 2024. Signing at the second race of the season with Ford-Audi, the British driver looked very quick on debut, qualifying in third and taking an early lead of the race. Poor strategy eventually dropped Faxeo behind F1rret who took his first race victory however ending the race with a first race win for Faxeo. Despite finishing fourth at three more Grand Prix during the season, Faxeo only took one more podium with a third place at his home race in Britain. He finished the season fourth with 89 points.
Instantly, the 2025-26 season appeared to be Faxeo's season after he was rumoured by head of the Boat Racing World Championship, JulienCool, as a title threat. Despite messing up his qualifying attempt by scraping on the final straight and ending classification in seventh, Faxeo returned to the race lead, passing multiple time race winners Bubu, Gabe TM and 32Jeelow. He passed F1rret on the penultimate lap to take a first victory in Formula One and a first victory for the Ford-Audi squad as well as the fastest lap of the race. Faxeo returned to the top step of the podium again two-races later after running victorious against reigning two-time World Champion Gabe, Bubu and F1rret. He lost his lead in the Philippines Grand Prix after not starting before ending up tenth in a notoriously laggy Saudi Grand Prix at a track which he rebuilt. Faxeo's poor form continued with only 2 podiums in the rest of the season including a victory at the Polish Grand Prix in which he took a grand slam.
Faxeo backstarted the first race of the 2026 season in Zurich, finishing the race marginally fourth behind Ameberyl. Faxeo then beat Jeelow to race victory in Georgia, lapping almost the entire grid before finishing second in Quebec despite looking like he would take race victory. He returned to form by setting pole and winning the Turkish Grand Prix.
