In 2019, King competed in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, FIA World Endurance Championship in LMP1 and LMP2, and the NTT IndyCar Series. He made debuts in both the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He also tested in Formula One, Formula E and the British Touring Car Championship.
He attended Repton School in Derbyshire on a C. B. Fry scholarship and later Princethorpe College in Warwickshire. King is the son of former Sainsbury's CEO Justin King. [1]

King's early racing career began in karting before he moved to open-wheel racing at the end of 2010. He began driving in Formula Renault UK, starting in the Formula Renault UK Winter Series before he began the main championship in 2011.
In 2009, aged only fifteen, King tested a Formula Two car. He drove four races in Formula Palmer Audi at the Silverstone round in 2010, managing to get a podium and impressing series boss Jonathan Palmer. In 2011, he has signed up for three rounds of the Formula Two championship, [3] [4] at Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring and Brands Hatch during the Formula Renault UK summer break. King will be the youngest driver to take part in the modern era of the series.
In February 2015, it was confirmed King would move up to GP2, signing with Racing Engineering, alongside Alexander Rossi, for 2015, where he finished twelfth overall. [5] He remained with the team for the following season, where he claimed two victories and finished seventh overall.
In 2017, King switched to MP Motorsport for a third season of the sport. [6]
For 2019, King returned with the same team partnered with Indian driver Mahaveer Raghunathan. King missed the Monaco round due to his participation in the 2019 Indianapolis 500, with Artem Markelov serving as his substitute. King scored two podium finished during the season, claiming the 3rd position in the feature race at Baku and 2nd in the sprint race at Monza. He had 15 top 10 finishes in his 20 races and completed 98.7% of all laps.
King holds two F2 track records, both set in 2017, at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.
King was signed as a development driver by the Manor Marussia team for the 2015 season, being retained by the squad, renamed Manor Racing, in 2016. [7] He made his début in a Formula One session when he drove for Manor during free practice at the 2016 United States Grand Prix. [8]

Carpenter started the ovals, while King started the 11 road and street circuit races. In his IndyCar Series debut, the season opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, he set the track record in qualifying, made the Firestone Fast 6 and took the lead of the race on only the fifth lap. His second Fast 6 appearance came at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during qualifications for the INDYCAR Grand Prix. He also paced the field during the only international stop in 2018, the Honda Indy Toronto. King advanced out of the first round of qualifications in half of the possible races over the course of the season.
