Matthew "Matt" Parry (born 14 January 1994) is a British racing driver who is part of the Caterham F1 driver development programme.[1]

Career

Parry during Race 1 of the 2014 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season at Moscow Raceway.

Karting

Born in Cardiff, Parry entered karting in 2006, when he finished second in the Hoddesdon Kart Club Championship Minimax.[2] His biggest success was in the last year of his karting career, winning the Super 1 National Rotax Max Junior championship in 2010.[3]

Formula Ford & InterSteps

In 2011 Parry made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the British Formula Ford Championship with Fluid Motorsport.[4] He finished eighth with eighteen point-scoring finishes in 24 races.[5]

For 2012, he decided to switch to the InterSteps championship for Fortec Motorsports. He took thirteen wins and a total of 21 podiums in 23 races on his way to the championship title.[1][6]

Formula Renault

Parry continued his collaboration with Fortec for the 2013 Formula Renault 2.0 NEC season.[7] He won five races during the season to take the championship title, taking four further podium finishes.[8] His performances earned him a nomination for the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award for the first time.[9] On 1 December 2013, after the evaluation tests held at Silverstone, Parry was named as the winner of the award, taking the £100,000 cash prize and a Formula One test with McLaren.[10]

In 2014, Parry continued racing in Formula Renault, this time competing in Formula Renault Eurocup. He is again racing with Fortec Motorsports, with whom he raced for in 2012 and 2013. He continued to race as part of the Caterham Racing Academy, of which he has been part since 2011.

GP3 Series

In 2015, Parry will make his GP3 debut with Koiranen GP alongside Jimmy Eriksson and Adderly Fong.
