**Frank Neuhaus** (born July 12, 1996) is a German racing driver who last competed in the 2023 Formula A World Championship with NordGP. He is known for his strong overtaking abilities, but has struggled in most other areas of racing and has faced criticism from many about his backing, and arrogance.

He is related to Formula B driver Dennis Neuhaus.

## Early Life and Career

Neuhaus was born into an incredibly wealthy family in Frankfurt, Germany. His father, Andreas Neuhaus, is the owner and chairman of Neuhaus Vermögensberatung AG (NVAG), which serves around 8 million clients per year and pulled in revenues of €2.24 billion in 2021. His mother, Anna Neuhaus, is the current CEO of TeleDeutschland, the largest provider of telecommunications in Germany by revenue. Despite his family's wealth, Neuhaus has always been interested in motorsport. He received his first kart at the age of 7, but crashed and was hospitalized on his first outing. After some family arguing about whether he should be allowed to continue racing, Neuhaus persisted and eventually won a karting championship. Neuhaus moved up the motorsport ladder, competing in German Formula D and European Formula C. He struggled in Formula B, staying there for several seasons until he finished a record P7 in the championship. Neuhaus would eventually earn the call up to the newly-founded Formula A, when NordGP were in search of a second driver to partner Leo Kotowicz and were short on funds.

## Formula A Career

Neuhaus made his debut in the 2023 Formula A World Championship with NordGP. On his qualifying debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, he was able to out-qualify 2-time IFS champion Leo Kotowicz by 4 tenths of a second, however Neuhaus would finish P13 while Kotowicz charged to finish P8. Heading into the Spanish Grand Prix, Neuhaus was knocked out in Q1 as teammate Kotowicz qualified P8, almost two seconds clear of Neuhaus. For the race, Kotowicz would once again bring home the points as Neuhaus DNFed from the race after crashing out. The season would mostly continue like this, with Neuhaus failing to get into the top 10 and Kotowicz consistently raking points, until Neuhaus was able to attain his first ever points finish in Formula A at the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix, finishing P10, while still being beaten by Kotowicz in the process. Frank would DNF at the European Grand Prix before scoring a P9 finish at the United States Grand Prix. His moment of glory, however, came at the crazy Japanese Grand Prix, where due to many crashes and a smart strategy from NordGP, Neuhaus was running P2 in the final 8 laps of the race, however he would make a mistake which saw him drop down into P6 at the end of the race, which netted him his best result in Formula A. He would keep the momentum going into the next round in Malaysia as he qualified a brilliant P5, but fell back after being overtaken and finished P10, scoring his last points in Formula A. He ultimately finished in a disappointing P13 in the championship, 23 points behind teammate Leo Kotowicz.

Neuhaus was dropped by NordGP at the end of the 2023 season, and was set to partner Marián Kotleba at SaxSport for the upcoming 2024 Formula A World Championship, however after falling out with team principal Max Süß, Neuhaus found himself out of a seat for the 2024 and subsequently retired from racing.

## Personal Life and Controversies

Neuhaus has a reputation for being arrogant and for having poor driving skills. He is also disliked by many in Germany because of his incredibly wealthy background. This hatred was even more amplified in 2019 when reports came out that Frank's father, Andreas Neuhaus, and NVAG were laundering money via offshore accounts. Neuhaus has also been the subject of controversy regarding his personal life. A falsified news report by a hater of the Neuhaus family claimed that he was involved in a Czech gay orgy scandal during the time that he was in a relationship. Neuhaus denied the report and stated that he is straight.

Neuhaus is currently dating French supermodel Nathalie Chevalier, however they have not been spotted with each other since late 2023.
