## Career
### Karting

Pradel began karting in Australia, where he consistently finished in the top ten in the Australian Kart Championship.

### Formula 4
#### 2022

In 2022, Pradel joined the New South Wales Formula Race Car Championship driving for AGI Sport. He did not complete the full season, however he finished 6th in the championship after securing two wins and five podiums over nine races. Pradel made his Formula 4 debut as a guest driver in the final round of the 2022 F4 Spanish Championship for Cram-Pinnacle, where he got a best result of 18th over three races.
At the end of the year, he was selected for Ferrari's World Scouting Final for its junior programme.

#### 2023

Pradel kicked off his 2023 campaign by driving in the inaugural season of the Formula Winter Series for US Racing. On his way to the rookie title, the Australian amassed six podiums – five of them being third places, while one was a second place – and a pole position at the final round in Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He finished runner-up in the championship with 116 points, behind the dominant Pole Kacper Sztuka.
For his main campaign of the season, Pradel stayed with US Racing to compete in both the Italian F4 Championship and the newly formed Euro 4 Championship.
His debut round at Imola Circuit was eventful for him, as he retired from his first race after being clipped into the gravel at Tamburello by Tuukka Taponen as they were fighting for ninth position. Pradel came eleventh in the second race and achieved his first points in the final round in a ninth place. Throughout the rest of the season, he scored a string of 7th–10th place positions and got his maiden podium – a third place – at the first race of the sixth round at Mugello Circuit. After a points-scarce round at Vallelunga Circuit, he finished the drivers' championship in 13th with 42 points.
Meanwhile for his Euro 4 campaign, Pradel scored scattered points in the form of 8th to 10th, finishing 13th in the drivers championship with 16 points.

#### 2024

Pradel remained with US Racing for the Formula Winter Series, Italian F4 Championship and the Euro 4 Championship.
In the Formula Winter Series, he had a podiumless first half of the season, but would score three podiums – in the form of third places – at the final two rounds of the season at Aragón and Barcelona-Catalunya. He finished 4th in the championship with 79 points.
Pradel kicked off his sophomore year in the Italian F4 Championship with a third place in the first race at Misano Circuit. He was consistent throughout the rest of the season and got his second podium at the third race of the sixth round at Barcelona-Catalunya.
The Australian concluded his campaign by getting his first Formula 4 win at the final round in Monza Circuit, where he denied Freddie Slater his 16th win of the season.
For his Euro 4 Championship campaign, he had a similar season to the previous year, except that he would grab a podium and a maiden fastest lap in the final round at Monza Circuit. He finished the drivers championship in 10th with 49 points.
