Charles Pic, born on February fifteenth, nineteen ninety, is a distinguished French former racing driver and motorsport executive. Hailing from Montélimar in the Drôme region, Pic's journey in motorsport began at the tender age of thirteen, inspired by his godfather, Éric Bernard, a former Formula One driver.
In two thousand six, Pic transitioned to junior formulae, where he quickly made a name for himself with impressive top-three finishes in various Formula Renault categories. His talent shone through as he progressed to the GP2 Series in two thousand ten, where he secured several victories over two seasons, showcasing his potential as a formidable competitor.
Pic made his Formula One debut in two thousand twelve with Marussia, partnering with Timo Glock. Despite the team's struggles to score points throughout the season, he demonstrated resilience and skill. In two thousand thirteen, he moved to Caterham, but faced another challenging season without points, leading to his release at the year's end. Subsequently, he took on the role of reserve driver for Lotus.
In two thousand fourteen, Pic ventured into Formula E, participating in its inaugural season. He had a promising start, finishing fourth in the Beijing ePrix for Andretti, but was replaced in the following round. He continued to compete for China Racing, achieving a points finish in Monaco before retiring after the Berlin ePrix.
After retiring from competitive racing, Pic shifted his focus to business and asset management. Since two thousand twenty-two, he has proudly owned the French racing team DAMS, which has been active in FIA Formula 2, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career.
