Ferdinand is the heir apparent to the headship of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, held by his father on 1 January 2007.{{Cite news |date=5 July 2011 |title=Die vielen Pflichten des Adels |language=de |newspaper=Wiener Zeitung |url=http://www.wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/politik/oesterreich/278334_Die-vielen-Pflichten-des-Adels.html |url-status=live |access-date=11 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805162729/http://www.wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/politik/oesterreich/278334_Die-vielen-Pflichten-des-Adels.html |archive-date=5 August 2011}} His titles and honorifics are unofficial as Austria is a republic with all royal titles being legally abolished in 1918.

Habsburg began his racing career at the age of 14 with the Austrian team Speedworld Academy.{{cite web|url=http://www.speedworld-academy.at/|title=Speedworld Academy|website=Speedworld-academy.at|access-date=3 February 2016|archive-date=26 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226040742/http://www.speedworld-academy.at/|url-status=dead}} He has worn racing number 62 since the beginning of his karting career. In 2014 after four years spent in ROTAX Junior category, winning multiple championship titles, he switched to Rotax DD2. He also qualified three times for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, scoring a best result of eleventh in 2013.

In 2014, Habsburg made his début in single seaters, taking part in the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC Championship with Lechner Racing. He finished fourth with a 100% finishing rate in 15 races.

For 2015, Habsburg contested New Zealand's Toyota Racing Series in January and February 2015 with Victory Motor Racing, finishing 11th in the championship and 5th in the rookie class with two podium finishes. He would return to the series with Giles Motorsport for 2016 and finished fourth in the championship behind Lando Norris, Jehan Daruvala and Brendon Leitch with four podium finishes, which included his first win in car racing in the season opener at Mike Pero Motorsport Park.

Habsburg contested his final season in the series in 2017, this time driving for M2 Competition. The Austrian finished the campaign in eighth place, scoring two podiums.

For 2015, Habsburg decided to switch to the Formula Renault Northern European Cup with Fortec Motorsports.{{cite news|last=Khorounzhiy|first=Valentin|date=16 January 2015|title=Ferdinand Habsburg graduates to Formula Renault 2.0 NEC with Fortec|publisher=Paddock Scout|url=http://www.paddockscout.com/ferdinand-habsburg-graduates-to-formula-renault-2-0-nec-with-fortec/|access-date=16 January 2015}} Having only raced in the first five rounds in the series with a best finish of fifth at his home event at the Red Bull Ring, the Austrian ended up 19th in the standings.

Habsburg made his debut in the Euroformula Open Championship in the 2015 season finale at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he finished both races in the top ten.{{cite news|last=Allen|first=Peter|date=30 October 2015|title=MacLeod and Habsburg at Euroformula Open finale|publisher=Paddock Scout|url=http://www.paddockscout.com/macleod-and-habsburg-at-euroformula-open-finale/31645|access-date=30 October 2015}}

The following year Habsburg committed to the series full-time, racing for Drivex School.{{cite news|date=7 March 2016|title=Breaking news: Habsburg fährt 2016 in drei Meisterschaften!|language=German|url=http://us4.campaign-archive1.com/?u=3ee209a077c34cf1f61f8b004&id=fc1e8b1d1c|access-date=7 March 2016}} Having lost ground to the more experienced title-favourite Leonardo Pulcini during the first few rounds, Habsburg was able to achieve his first race win in the series at the Circuit Paul Ricard. He followed that up by scoring seven podiums across the five remaining rounds, which included a win in Barcelona, and finished second in the standings, with twelve podiums from just 16 races to his credit.

For 2017, Habsburg stepped up to the FIA European F3 Championship, racing for Carlin. He had a highly successful season, taking four podiums and a first series win at Spa. However his most impressive drive came in the end of year Macau Grand Prix. In the main race, he battled hard for the lead with Brazilian Sérgio Sette Câmara, but was unable to pass. On the final lap, Habsburg took the lead around the outside of the final corner at Fisherman's Bend, but braked too late and understeered into the barriers on the exit of the corner, with Sette Câmara doing exactly the same thing, handing the race win to Câmara's teammate Dan Ticktum. Habsburg eventually limped across the line fourth despite broken front suspension. Nonetheless, the Austrian would gain much praise from both his team boss and journalists for his final lap maneuver, along with his great season as a whole.

He returned to the series in 2018 with Carlin, this time partnering Jehan Daruvala, Sacha Fenestraz, Nikita Troitskiy and Ameya Vaidyanathan.{{cite news|last1=Simmons|first1=Marcus|date=1 February 2018|title=Habsburg stays on for second F3 season|work=Motorsport.com|publisher=Motorsport Network|url=https://www.motorsport.com/eurof3/news/habsburg-stays-on-for-second-f3-season-1001110/|access-date=1 February 2018}} However, Habsburg was unable to find the form from the previous year, scoring just a lone podium at Misano and finishing 13th in the championship.

In 2019, Habsburg signed for R-Motorsport II to race the Aston Martin Vantage DTM in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. He scored two points finishes in Circuit Zolder and the Norisring and ended up 18th in the driver's championship.{{cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/dtm/news/141619/juncadellahabsburg-join-aston-dtm-lineup |title=Juncadella/Habsburg complete R-Motorsport Aston Martin DTM line-up | date=February 19, 2019 |website=Autosport.com}}

For the 2020 season, Habsburg made the switch to Audi Sport Team WRT racing the Audi RS5 Turbo DTM.{{cite news|url=https://w-racingteam.com/news/detail/273/ferdinand-habsburg-joins-wrt-team-audi-sport-three-car-line-up-in-the-dtm |title=Ferdinand Habsburg Joins WRT Team Audi Sport Three-Car Line-Up in the DTM |website=WRT}} This season was comparatively successful for Habsburg as he secured 10 points positions, one of which was a podium in Circuit Zolder. This meant that Habsburg finished tenth in the driver's championship with 68 points, beating both of his teammates Fabio Scherer and Harrison Newey.

In 2020, Habsburg competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual with Mahle Racing, driving the 2018 Aston Martin Vantage GTE alongside former IndyCar Series driver Robert Wickens and sim-racers Jimmy Broadbent and Kevin Rotting.
