Career

[edit]

Formula 4

[edit]

Belov started his professional single-seater career in the SMP F4 Championship in 2017 with the SMP Racing team.[1] Belov claimed his first podium finish on the final race of the season with a third-place, finishing eighth overall in the championship. He continued in the championship for the 2018 season, claiming his first win at the second round in the NRING Circuit, winning races 1 and 3.[2] He ended the season with five wins, finishing second in the championship behind Konsta Lappalainen.

In 2019, Belov joined the Italian F4 Championship with the Italian Bhai Tech Racing team.[3] He finished on the podium in the first two races. It was later announced that Belov would also contest the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship starting from the second round. Belov won one race in ADAC F4 at the Sachsenring, finishing eighth in the championship.[4] Belov failed to win during his Italian F4 campaign, however, finished second on five occasions, ending the season fourth in the championship.

Formula Renault

[edit]

At the end of 2019, Belov participated in the post-season Formula Renault Eurocup rookie test.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup season was disrupted and postponed. As a consequence, Reece Ushijima, who was previously announced to drive for Belgian team M2 Competition withdrew due to travel restrictions.[6] On 2 July 2020, M2 Competition announced that Michael Belov would drive for them for the full 2020 season.[7]

FIA Formula 3 Championship

[edit]

Following the Barcelona round of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship, David Schumacher left Charouz Racing System to join Carlin Racing instead.[8] Belov was brought in to replace him for the remainder of the Formula 3 season.[9][10] Belov remained with the team throughout post-season and pre-season testing and was expected to be given a drive for the 2021 season,[11] however, Enzo Fittipaldi was announced instead.[12]

Formula Regional European Championship

Belov joined JD Motorsport in the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship as a wildcard entrant for the fourth round at Circuit Paul Ricard.[13] Despite not being eligible for points, he had a strong race weekend and earned two podium finishes.[14][15] Following this, it was announced Belov would race with G4 Racing for the remainder of the championship.[16] Belov secured two victories and ending the campaign eighth.[17][18]

2022

[edit]

Belov joined the 2022 Formula Regional Asian Championship for the final three rounds of the season.[19] He scored a second place in his second race and was 12th in the championship.

Belov would sign with MP Motorsport for his second season in the Formula Regional European Championship.[20] After a podium in the opening round in Monza, Belov was forced to stop his campaign halfway through the season due to travel issues.[21] Nevertheless, he placed seventh in the standings.

2023

[edit]

Belov made a surprise return to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2023 with G4 Racing.[22][23] However, he was unable to finish the season once again and sat out for the final two rounds.[24] He finished 20th in the overall standings with 23 points.

2024

[edit]

In 2024, Belov made a stand-in return in the Formula Regional European Championship for Trident, deputising for an injured Roman Bilinski.[25] In three rounds, Belov scored a second-placed podium in which he stated he needed that to "revive career" after periods of financial struggles and the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[26]

[edit]

In October 2024, Belov was called by Drivex to make his Eurocup-3 debut for the Jerez round.[27]
