Australian driver Peter Bouzinelos is relaunching his single-seater career by joining Hillspeed in GB3. He spent more than a year out of action following an accident in his homeland, where the teenager was hit by a car whilst on his bicycle.
The 17-year-old was set to make the step-up from Formula 4 into GB3 last season, before the road traffic collision resulted in a series of significant injuries.
Starting out in karting almost a decade ago, Bouzinelos claimed second place in the 2018 Australian Cadet Karting Championship, second in the Australian KA2 Karting Championship in 2022 and he supported Australia at the Motorsport Games in karting. He also raced internationally in the WSK Euro Series and WSK Open Cup.
As part of a packed 2023 where he continued in karting, Bouzinelos also debuted in cars with selected outings in Australian Formula Open and Formula 4 South East Asia. In the former he was an AF04 class winner and took two other class podiums, in the latter he raced to an outright podium in the championship finale at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
His first full season in single-seaters came in 2024, earning a pole position in the Formula Winter Series and contesting several races in F4 UAE. His focus was the full F4 Spanish Championship with a best finish of fourth place overall, and a rookie class podium.
Following the enforced delay to his GB3 graduation in 2025, the two days of official GB3 Championship pre-season testing at Snetterton marked Bouzinelos’ first time at the wheel of a race car in a competitive scenario since the end of 2024.
