Career

Karting

In 2017 Sagrera took part in his first national and continental karting competitions, with second place in the junior category of the Spanish Championship being his most notable achievement that year. The Spaniard would progress to the senior class the following year, finishing third in the same series, only two points behind the champion. Sagrera finished his karting career at the end of 2019.

Sagrera made his single-seater debut with MOL Racing in the final round of the F4 Spanish Championship at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. [1] Despite being a rookie, he managed to finish the third race in the top ten, although he did not receive points as he was classed as a guest driver. [2]

In 2020 the Spaniard returned to the Spanish Championship, this time racing the first four rounds of the season for MOL. [3] However, Sagrera was only able to score eight points over the course of the 12 races, and ended up 21st in the standings.

GB3 Championship

Sagrera stepped up to the GB3 Championship in 2021, partnering Ginetta Junior Champion Tom Lebbon and Mexican José Garfias at Elite Motorsport. [4] [5] He started his season strongly, scoring a podium in just his third race in the series. [6] Sagrera wouldn't manage to hit those same heights again that season, although he only missed out on a top ten finish in five of the following 16 races he finished.

Eurocup-3

2023

Sagrera moved over to the Eurocup-3 series in 2023, signing with Palou Motorsport. [7] He would get three podiums throughout the season, however, he did not contest the last two rounds of the season. Sagrera finished 8th in the standings.

2024

In 2024, Sagrera signed with MP Motorsport to compete full-time in the 2024 Eurocup-3 season. He would get his maiden win in the first race of the season at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Throughout the first half of the season, Sagrera would get consistent results with occasional podium finishes which allowed him to challenge championship leader Christian Ho. In the fifth round of the season at Zandvoort, Sagrera qualified on pole and won both races. [8] The next race at Aragón saw him retire after lap one following a collision with teammate Owen Tangavelou. However, Sagrera's fortunes would turn in race two as he would win with a comfortable margin to teammate Bruno del Pino. [9] Title rival Christian Ho finished on the podium in both races, however, Ho later received a 10-second time penalty in race two after the race stewards determined that Ho had overtaken Owen Tangavelou outside of the track on lap 1. This dropped Ho to ninth in race two, and resulted in Sagrera becoming the new championship leader following his three wins in the previous four races. While Sagrera would finish in second in both races at Jerez, Ho had a slim chance at the championship following a win in race one and fifth in race two. [10] Going into the final round of the season at Barcelona, Sagrera had a 26 point lead to Ho in the championship. [11] Despite Ho's slim chances in the title fight, he would capitalize by finishing in second in race one and winning race two. Sagrera would only manage to finish sixth in both races, however, this would be enough to crown Sagrera as champion, winning it by just two points. [12] Although, Ho's team Campos Racing had lodged a protest for the race one results, claiming that race one winner Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. had illegally overtaken Ho outside of the track which gave Fittipaldi Jr. an unfair advantage. This put the true winner of the championship in doubt for months since the FIA had still not reached a conclusion. [13] Three months later, following a review of results, Ho was awarded the win for the first Barcelona race after the FIA determined that Fittipaldi Jr. did indeed overtake off-track. [14] This meant Ho gained seven points and was crowned champion, while Sagrera would ultimately finish second in the championship, five points behind Ho.

FIA Formula 3

Sagrera signed with AIX Racing to compete in the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship. [15]
