Career[edit]

Karting[edit]

Born in Dubai, Jones began his racing career in karting in local championships at the age of nine. In 2005 he clinched the United Arab Emirates karting championship title.[5] He collected six titles in various classes before he started a karting campaign in Europe in 2008. He raced in the Rotax Max and KF3 categories until 2010.[6]

InterSteps and Formula Renault[edit]

In 2011 Jones made his debut in single-seaters taking part in the new-for-2011 InterSteps championship for Fortec Motorsport, finishing the championship in fourth place with one win.[7] As well as this, Jones raced for Fortec in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and the British Formula Renault Championship, as well as the off-season Formula Renault UK Finals Series, finishing 15th in the standings with four-point-scoring finishes.[8]

Jones continued his collaboration with Fortec into 2012, competing in Formula Renault 2.0 NEC and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.[9] His only points in the Eurocup was a ninth place at Le Castellet, that brought him 27th place in the series standings.

Jones remained at Fortec in 2013, competing again in some of the Formula Renault Eurocup rounds taking two podium positions at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, Spielburg. He finished 11th in the championship with 45 points.[10]

Formula Three[edit]

Education
Ed Jones in F3 - Hockenheimring 2014

After contesting the final round of the 2012European F3 Open Championship for Team West-Tec, Jones moved into the series full-time the following year, competing for the same team.[11] Despite missing the opening round, he exceeded Sandy Stuvik in the championship battle with six wins and another four podiums.[12]

Jones, who already competed for Fortec in the Hockenheimring round of the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2013, raced for Carlin Motorsport in 2014.[13]

Indy Lights[edit]

In 2015, Jones moved to the Indy Lights series, the recognised feeder championship for the IndyCar Series. He was signed to drive for Carlin, as he did in Formula 3, and took pole position and the race victory in both his and Carlin's first event in the series in St Petersburg.[14] He also won the second and third races of the season, and finished third in the championship standings.

In October 2015, it was announced that Jones would return with Carlin to the Indy Lights series for 2016.[15] With two wins at Barber and Indianapolis, Jones would claim the Lights championship over Santiago Urrutia in a controversial ending. During the last lap of the last race of the 2016 series in Laguna Seca, Jones was holding the 5th position but was helped by his teammate Félix Serrallés who was holding 4th position in the race. Serralles moved aside and gave his position to Jones making him the champion by a slim points difference.[16] Consequently he won the Earl Howe trophy for the best performance by a British driver in North America in 2016 [17]

IndyCar[edit]

Dale Coyne Racing (2017)[edit]

Having won the 2016 Indy Lights title, Jones stepped up to IndyCar for 2017. On 14 November 2016 he was announced as the driver of the No. 19 for Dale Coyne Racing alongside Sébastien Bourdais.[18] He achieved his first podium finish in the series at the 2017 Indy 500.[19] Jones was the 2017 Rookie of the Year.[20]

Chip Ganassi Racing (2018)[edit]

On 25 October 2017, he was announced as the driver of the No. 10 for Chip Ganassi Racing alongside Scott Dixon for 2018.[21] In September 2018 it was announced that he would be replaced for 2019 by Felix Rosenqvist.[22]

Ed Carpenter Racing Scuderia Corsa (2019)[edit]

On 17 October 2018, it was confirmed that Jones would run all non-oval events as well as the 2019 Indianapolis 500 for a joint venture between Ed Carpenter Racing and Scudiera Corsa, driving the No. 20 in the road/street events and the No. 63 in the Indy 500.[23] In his first race with the team, Jones broke a bone in his hand after a shunt that knocked him out of the race.[24]

Jones with Scudiera Corsa places in the Fast 9 in Indianapolis 500 qualifying and eventually placed 5th overall in the field. Jones also topped a practice session as well.
