René Lammers (Dutch pronunciation: [rəˈneː ˈlɑmərs]; born 12 July 2008) is a Dutch racing driver who competes in Eurocup-3 for MP Motorsport.

Born and raised in Leiden, Lammers is the son of former Formula One driver and Le Mans winner Jan Lammers. After a successful karting career—culminating in his victory at the senior European Championship in 2023—Lammers graduated to junior formulae. Lammers stepped up to single-seaters in Spanish F4 in 2024, finishing fourth in 2025 after securing multiple victories.

Career

Karting (2018–2023)

Lammers has had a very successful karting career, as in September 2020, he won his first major karting title, in the WSK Euro Series 60 Mini category.[1] This was followed by victory in the same category in the Andrea Margutti Trophy.[2] For 2021, Lammers stepped up to the X30 Junior and OK-Junior categories, as he won the Andrea Margutti Trophy again.[3] For 2022, he stayed in the same category, having some more success by consistently finishing in the top-ten of championships. However, 2023 was his breakout season as he moved to the OK category, winning the Karting European Championship.[4] Lammers also finished second in the Karting World Championship, driving for Parolin Motorsport.[5]

Formula 4 (2024–2025)

2024

On 13 December 2023, Lammers announced his place as a competitor in the F4 Spanish Championship for 2024, where he would join MP Motorsport.[6] Pre-season, Lammers joined the 2024 Formula Winter Series grid in preparation for his season in Spanish F4. He had a difficult season, only managing to finish 19th in the standings with a best result of sixth at MotorLand Aragón.[7][8]

In his main campaign, Lammers started the season with a double points finish.[9] However, points were hard to come by for Lammers that season, as after a fifth place finish in Portimão, he was forced to wait until the Aragón round to score points.[10] There, he had his best weekend, securing his first and only podium of the season during the second race.[11] Collecting four more points finishes in the final three rounds, Lammers placed 13th in the standings, with 55 points.[12]

2025

Lammers continued in Spanish F4 for 2025, remaining with MP Motorsport.[13]

Formula Regional (2026–)

Lammers moved up to Eurocup-3 in 2026, continuing with MP Motorsport.[14]

Formula One

In 2023, Lammers was crowned Scouting World Finals champion, and was offered a place in the Ferrari Driver Academy.[15] However, he rejected Ferrari and made it clear he preferred to stay independent for as long as he is able to in his climb to Formula 1.[16]

Personal life

Lammers' father is Jan Lammers, a former Formula One driver and winner of the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans with Silk Cut Jaguar.[17]
