Jonah Martens - F1 Coach & Engineer

Jonah Martens started his journey with simracing in 2020 during the  COVID-19 pandemic. 

In his first year, Jonah met our CEO, Jorrit Jan van Geffen through the Misfits Racing League. Coincidentally, he found himself as Jorrit's dedicated engineer during his winning tier 3 season. Both of them got to know each other throughout the season which started a close friendship between the two. Jorrit and Jonah decided to join the F1 community, looking to find more success there. 

Wanting to improve his racing skills, Jonah upgraded his setup and signed up for PSGL. In his first ever PC season, he went against a hard grid that included drivers who have already been familiar with F1 Esports. His brilliant season in the F2 tier caught the eyes of other drivers and other well known members of the prestigious league.

In early 2022 when Jorrit created Simracing Centre. Jonah was very quick to show his delight and joined the company not long after.

A few months later, Jonah became a part of McLaren Shadow for the F1 Esports championship. Being Bari Boroumands race engineer, he played a crucial role in helping the team win the championship title. This was a big milestone in Jonah's career that resulted in getting a well deserved promotion to an F1 Branch Manager role within Simracing Centre.

As 2023 started, Jonah's talent, expertise and passion was not unnoticed, which led him to start a new chapter in his career with Ferrari Esports for the next seasons. His switch to Ferrari Esports proves his continuous growth and impact on the engineering and coaching side of the community.

Jonah Martens' journey, from a casual engineer during the pandemic to a key part in multiple big F1 Esports teams, shows his dedication and passion in the league racing scene. With each decision, he left a positive mark for others looking to follow his roots.
