PROFILE

JONAS ANDERSSON raced for his native Team Sweden until it became Team Bình ??nh-Vietnam for the start of the 2024 season.
The defending World Champion is one of the most fully committed drivers on the world tour. He missed out on World Championship success by the narrowest and cruellest of margins at the final race of the 2022 season after starting the year as the defending World Champion. He has now won two world titles, a Teams’ Championship, the Pole Position Trophy and 14 Grand Prix.
A model of consistency since he burst on to the F1H2O scene in 2006, the Frovi racer has finished fourth, third and second on two occasions in a career where he claimed a 14th career GP win from pole position at the 2023 season’s finale in Sharjah. He dominated the 2023 championship, winning four of the five races in China, France, Sardinia and Sharjah.
From his 114 Grand Prix starts he has reached the podium 31 times and has qualified in pole position 11 times. His first win came in St Petersburg in 2008 on his way to third overall in the championship.
Andersson graduated to F1H2O after a very successful run in F2000 racing in both Europe and the Middle East, winning the F2000 World Championship with back-to-back titles in 2003 and in 2004.
