FIA Formula 2 departure

Formula One

Gelael driving a Toro Rosso during free practice for the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix

Gelael had his first experience of Formula One machinery, driving the Toro Rosso STR12 at the in-season test after the 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix, completing 78 laps. ^[24] He continued to drive for Toro Rosso in a testing capacity throughout the 2017 season, including tests at the Hungaroring and Yas Marina Circuit as well as Friday practice appearances in Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Mexico. ^[25] He continued his association with Toro Rosso during the 2018 season, appearing at testing days in Spain, Hungary and Abu Dhabi, and at the Friday practice session of the United States Grand Prix. ^{[26] [27] [28]} In 2019, Gelael again took part in the post-season tyre test for Toro Rosso in Abu Dhabi. ^[29]

Sportscar career

2016: Debut success

Gelael stepped into the Asian Le Mans Series during the second half of 2015–16 season to gather his first experience in endurance racing. Competing for Jagonya Ayam with Eurasia alongside Antonio Giovinazzi, the pair won both races they drove in and finished third in the standings. ^{[30] [31]}

During the same year, he would also make his FIA World Endurance Championship debut with Extreme Speed Motorsports, competing in the last three rounds of the season. ^[32]

2021: Title assaults

Following the conclusion to his time in Formula 2, Gelael returned to the ALMS for the entirety of the 2021 campaign, driving for Jota Sport alongside Formula E drivers Stoffel Vandoorne and Tom Blomqvist in the LMP2 category. He finished second and fifth in Dubai and won both races in Abu Dhabi, which placed him second in the standings. ^[33]

The Indonesian's main focus for 2021 would lie in the World Endurance Championship, where he once again partnered Vandoorne and Blomqvist at Jota Sport. ^[34] Following a pair of podiums at the beginning of the season, a strong performance from the team would see the trio finish second in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. ^{[35] [36]} Despite rounding off the season with two further appearances on the rostrum, Gelael and his teammates would miss out on the title to Team WRT, who had managed to win the final three races, which left Jota second in the LMP2 results. ^[36] Following the end of the season, Gelael described the season as having been "really good", whilst equally ruing the team's missed opportunities to win races. ^[37]

He would make a guest appearance during the 4 Hours of Monza with Jota, finishing third alongside Malaysian driver Jazeman Jaafar. ^[38]

2022: Adding victories

In 2022 Gelael continued to race in the World Endurance Championship, switching teams to previous year's champions WRT to drive alongside Robin Frijns and René Rast. ^{[39] [40]} After starting the season with a strong second place at a rain-shortened race in Sebring, the Indonesian took his maiden win in the category at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. ^{[41] [42]} Dramatic scenes would occur at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as, having started from pole due to an impressive lap from Frijns, the team was forced to retire with hours to go after the Dutchman had made an error and collided with the barriers. ^[43] The outfit was set back further in Monza, where a twelfth place following a radiator issue made them miss out on points for the second race in a row. At the penultimate race in Fuji, Gelael, Frijns and substitute teammate Dries Vanthoor managed to win the race, having held off advances from the Nr. 38 Jota car in the dying embers of the event. ^[44] Another victory at the 8 Hours of Bahrain would not be enough to take the title, as the team lost out to Jota by 21 points. ^[45]

2023: GT3 debut

At the start of 2023, Gelael teamed up with Valentino Rossi and three other drivers to compete in the Dubai 24 Hour event, driving a BMW M4 GT3 for WRT. ^[46] The lineup experienced a positive weekend, completing a double-podium for the team by finishing third. ^{[47] [48]}

For a third year running, the World Endurance Championship would be the main destination for the Indonesian, who, along with Robin Frijns, remained at Team WRT to be partnered by Ferdinand Habsburg. ^[49]

Personal life

Gelael is the only son of the owner of Kentucky Fried Chicken's Indonesian franchise and former rally driver Ricardo Gelael, and the youngest child of actress Rini S Bono. ^[50] He is the cousin of Indonesian tennis player Justin Barki. His late grandfather Dick Gelael is the founder of Gelael Supermarket and Multi Food Indonesia.
