Axel Gnos (born 30 April 2003) is a Swiss-French racing driver of Vietnamese descent, who drives for G4 Racing in the Formula Regional European Championship.

Career

= Lower formulae =

Gnos made his car racing debut in the 2018 Italian F4 Championship with AS Motorsport, where he raced in two rounds.{{cite web|date=11 May 2018|title=Admitted List|url=http://www.acisport.it/public/2018/pdf/F4/2018_1343Le_Castellet//Elenco_verificati_03_verificati_paul_ricard_2018_f4.pdf|access-date=11 May 2018|website=acisport.it|publisher=ACI Sport Italia}} In 2019 he drove in both the Italian and Spanish F4 championships, for Jenzer Motorsport and G4 Racing respectively.{{cite web|last=Allen|first=Peter|date=21 February 2019|title=Antonelli Motorsport returns to Italian F4 with kart stars Rosso and Ferrari|url=http://www.formulascout.com/antonelli-motorsport-returns-to-italian-f4-with-kart-stars-rosso-and-ferrari/48428|access-date=21 February 2019|work=FormulaScout}}{{cite web|date=28 March 2019|title="Yes, it's real. I will be doing a double championship in 2019, Italy with Jenzer Motorsport and Spain with G4 Racing"|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvj0gOPFPWI/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/instagram/axelgnos/2009680771464623496 |archive-date=2021-12-25 |url-access=registration}}{{cbignore}} He had a successful campaign in the Spanish series, where he finished on the podium twice and ended his season sixth in the drivers' standings.

In 2020 Gnos once again competed in the Italian F4 Championship with G4 Racing, where he placed 23rd in the championship, having scored six points.

= Toyota Racing Series =

The Swiss driver raced in the Toyota Racing Series for Kiwi Motorsport at the start of the 2020 season.{{Cite web |title=Rencontre avec Axel Gnos, 16 ans |url=https://ch-fr.motorsport.com/formula4/news/axel-gnos-16-ans-fait-ses-classes-et-attend-son-heure/4558653/ |access-date=2022-07-17 |website=ch-fr.motorsport.com |date=16 October 2019 |language=fr}} He scored 15 points and finished 18th in the standings, last of all full-time drivers.

= Formula Regional European Championship =

In February 2021 it was announced that Gnos would be competing in the Formula Regional European Championship with G4 Racing.{{Cite web|date=2021-03-08|title=G4 Racing takes over Bhaitech's Formula Regional Europe entry|url=https://formulascout.com/g4-racing-takes-over-bhaitechs-formula-regional-europe-entry/76022|access-date=2021-03-08|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} His season would ultimately prove to be fruitless, with Gnos scoring a best finish of 14th at Barcelona and finishing 28th in the standings.

For the 2022 season, the Swiss driver remained with his father's team, G4, this time partnering Matías Zagazeta and Owen Tangavelou.{{Cite web |last=Hensby |first=Paul |date=2022-03-14 |title=G4 Racing Confirms Axel Gnos to Finalise 2022 Formula Regional Europe Line-up |url=https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2022/03/g4-racing-confirms-axel-gnos-to-finalise-2022-formula-regional-europe-line-up/ |access-date=2022-07-17 |website=The Checkered Flag |language=en-GB}} Following a challenging campaign, during which the Swiss driver missed a round following a crash at Spa-Francorchamps,{{Cite web |last=Fasano |first=Emanuele |date=2022-08-31 |title=Gillian Henrion to replace injured Axel Gnos at Red Bull Ring |url=https://formularegionaleubyalpine.com/gillian-henrion-to-replace-injured-axel-gnos-at-red-bull-ring/ |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=Formula Regional by Alpine |language=it-IT}} Gnos confirmed that he would be leaving the team and the series after the end of the season, which he ended in 31st place.{{Cite web |title=Axel Gnos on Instagram: "🔻2022 SEASON FINALE🔻 |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGrGUlN2Jg/ |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=Instagram |language=en}}
