Toronto, Canada

**Jax Montague** (born 5th March 2006) is a Canadian racing driver currently competing in Formula A, driving for Louvet FA Team.

## **Early Life**

Born in Toronto, Jax was born to a wealthy family, as his father, Jonathan Montague, co-founded Dzierkals Coffee Inc. with succesful Hockey player Mārtiņš Dzierkals. Already at a young age, Jax was always confident of his skills. He had a passion for racing and decided to partake in regional karting championship. After dominating those, he went to national championships. Eventually, he asked his dad to finance him a career in open-wheelers. To pursue his dreams, Jax moved to Sunderland, England.

## **Racing Career**

### **British Formula D (2020-2021)**

After settling in England, Jax took part in the British Formula D series, after untypically skipping a major Karting series. This moved might have proved to be premature at first, as Jax only managed to gain some points and retiring more than once. Unfortunately, at the final round at Silverstone, Jax was victim of a terrific accident, following the wheel of a driver hitting him in the head during a collision. This caused him a near-fatal head trauma and was in a coma for 1 month. Miraculously, Jax recovered in time for the start of the season and somehow, he was better than ever. This time around, Jax seemed like a completely different person, managing to get multiple wins and win the championship in an exciting 4-way title fight. His next move led him to European Formula C.

### European Formula C (2022)

Jax surprisingly had no issues in his rookie season, as he managed to win the championship and getting 5/10 wins during the season. This dominance didn't go overlooked, as in an untypical move, Louvet FA Team took a gamble and signed him, making him completely skip Formula B.

### Formula A (2023-)

Despite his dominant junior career, Jax' debut in FA wasn't as dominant, however still impressive, as many expected him to score no points at all. His debut race came at the 2023 Abu Dhabi GP, where Jax ended in 16th. This pointless streak would go on for the first 5 rounds until the Belgian GP, where he managed to end up in 9th and score his first ever FA points. He only scored points twice more, with a 10th place at the Australian GP and an 8th place at the Thai GP. He ended the season with 7 points in 16th behind his teammate, Aiden Langston.

For 2024, Louvet had a slight step up in performance. While once again scoring no points at the initial round, Jax managed to score points in the next 3 races, with a career best 4th place at the German GP. He scored in the low points more times during the season, and then finally ending the season on 23 points in 15th in the standings, this tíme ahead of his teammate.

For 2025, Jax has once again stayed with Louvet, this time being partnered up by Formula B runner up Emil Håkansson.

## Personal Life

Jax has confirmed on numerous occasions that he's a fan of the Tesco Premier League football team Sunderland. His major supporters throughout his career has been the company his dad co-founded, Dzierkals Coffee Inc. and also the Bank of Scotia. His idol is known to be Anton Hackl.
