Prince Avogadro, of the house of Lo'Raven, drives for Cuzata F1 Team and made his full-time Furmula One debute in 2022. His maiden win came at Monza for the 2022 Italian GP during his rookie season.

Prior, he drove for the Lancaster UK Racing F2 team for the 2020-2021 seasons, winning the F2 driver's championship in 2021 by 1 point to Sonic Inacio. He won his maiden feature race and sprint race in his rookie season at Silverstone back-to-back, the only driver to do so in that season.

**UK Furmula 4**

With a number of set backs, Avogadro was slow to start his early motorsport career. He joined the UK Furmula 4 seen in 2014 at the age of 16 years of age under a pseudonym of Avory Amedeo so not to be recognised and harrassed for his royal linage. He failed to to make a name for himself in his three year tenure but was showing a constant rate of improvement which caught the eye of Lancaster UK Racing, allowing him to drive in their Furmula 3 team for the 2017 season.

**Furmula 3**

Avory Amedeo took some time to settle into the international championship but managed to find his footing within the 2018 F3 Season where he took two trips to the podium, once again showing a gradual rate of improvement, however it was these two trips to the podium that gardered him some attention as the media started to speculate if he was the young prince. He was advised and requested by the palace to withdraw from the championship once he gained more coverage but Avory continued to race in the 2019 F3 Championship where he finished third overall. It was though this season that the media finally confirmed that Avory Amedeo was indead Prince Avogadro Lo'Raven. After the championship he was hounded again to withdraw by the palace over concerns of his safety, but insisted he would continue due to his love for the sport stating, "It doesn't matter who I am off track, I am at home in this car surrounded by my equals."

**Furmula 2**

   In 2020 Prince Avogadro was promoted to Furmula 2 at the age of 22 and dropped his earlier alias gardnering him greather attention as the first royal in the sport since Prince Phan of Siam. In his first F2 feature race he just concceded his place on the podium to Antonine Russell on the final lap, but made up for it in the following sprint race where he finished second behind Antoine and ahead of Marcelo Kesselmann. Prince Avogadro took seven more podiums in his rookie season, including a back-to-back victory at Silverstone in both the feature race and sprint race; the only driver to achive such a feat in the history of Furmula 2. Despite two retirements and five no-points finishes, Prince Avogadro showed dominence in the mid-field finishing comfortably in 5th at the end of the season, 50 points clear of 6th place finisher Dakota Sonoshee but 38 points behind 4th place finisher Marcelo Kesselmann.

Prince Avogadro's second year in Furmula 2 started off strong but already with controversy in the first race. Dualling for the lead with to-be title contenders Sonia Inacio and Joseph Mahri in Bahrain; Avogadro encountered traffic whist leading the race and was blocked from lapping the two back markers of Anne-Marie Valmont and Rhys Morgan who were caught up in their own battle. Before it was too late the two drivers had pulled over to lead the leaders past but this allowed Josphi Mahri to take the lead and Prince Avogadro was not able to retake it, instead finishing within a second of the Algerian African wild dog. Prince Avogadro never lead the championship until the summer break where he won the Hungarian feature race and stepped onto the podium in the following sprint race. He momentarily lost it just after the break in Belgium to Mahri before retaking it and retaining it for the remainder of the season, only beating out Sonia Inacio by 1 point after the final race.

**Furmula 1**

Prince Avogadro tested for two teams during his 2021 Furmula 2 season with mixed results. Testing for Cuzata Racing at both the British and German GP he ended each FP1 season in the bottom two positions. He was then due to test for Scaletrix in China and Abu Dhabi, but due to an administrative error from the FIA, he was not allowed to run in China and gave the seat back to Hunter Evans who he would have replaced. In his Abu Dhabi session he finished the session witht he 7th best time, only six-tenths from the fastest time set by Petri Saukkonen.

**2022 Season**

Prince Avogadro was then confirmed to be driving for the Cuzata F1 Team in early 2022 who also announced that the team will be running a special British Racing Green livery in 2022 as part of a sponsorship deal with Birdley and Spannweite.

In his first F1 qualifying, Prince Avogadro made it through to Q3 and started the Austrlian GP from 10th on the grid. After making up some positions during the race, on lap 38/62, he suffered a puncher and lost control of the car, sending it into the barrier to DNF his first ever race.

First points came at round three in Bahrain where he started on the front row for the first time, along side Petri Saukkonen who got pole, but gradually lost positions during the race and ended up finishing 9th, picking up only 2 points at the end of the race.

Round four at the Russian GP is believed to be the start of a division between Prince Avogadro and his teammate Cassandra Ouellet as the two came together on lap 12 at the exit of turn 9 and both ended up in the barrier at turn 10. The Prince was put on a different strategy to his teammate after being collected from behind by Domitila Da Costa at turn 2 on the opening lap. This put him at the back and on a new compound of tyres which allowed him to close up to the back of the field and gain positions quickly, but was complaining about a growing problem with static over the team radio since the inital collision and pit-stop; this was not communicated to his teammate, Cassandra Ouellet. Despite warnings to both drivers not to race each other; although Avogadro is believed to have not heard this message due to his ongoing radio issues, the two were seen racing side by side on the fringe of the points on lap 12/50, colliding at turn 9 and both coming to rest at turn 10. Avogadro Lo'Raven was furious at the incident, going over to Cassandra Ouellet after the incident to slap her on the head and exchange some heated words, insisting that Ouellet should of let him through as he was on the faster tyre.

Prince Avogadro's first podium came in at the following race in Barcelona, having started 4th on the grid he overtook Antoine Russell and Troy Ryder for 2nd position, and and early pit-stop gamble on lap 15/54 during a safety car, Avogadro found himself ahead of the once leading Petri Saukkonen and controlling the start of the race at the end of the safety car period with regining champion Gunnar Thorvaldsson behind him having made up a number of positions since the start of the race. Thorvaldsson was quick to dispatch Lo'Raven on the first lap of the restart being the more experianced driver of the two, and Avogadro then found the remainder of the race defending second position to his Furmula 2 rival, Joseph Mahri, and Trey Goodwin. Prince Avogadro managed to hold onto 2nd to get his first podium in Furmula One, standing along side Gunnar Thorvaldsson and Trey Goodwin. However the attention was mostly taken away from the celebrations due to an incident where Joseph Mahri assulted another of members of the Rising Sun Racing team in the pitlane.

Being close to the Monegasque royal family, Prince Avogadro may feel that the Monaco GP is a second home race for him, having visited the Principality many of times before and had been quite successful around the circuit in his junior career. Starting 9th on the grid the Prince impressed the crowds with the most overtakes of the race and managed to get up to second and closing in on the leading Petri Saukkonen, both aiming for the first win around the crown jewel of Furmula One. However on the last lap, lapped Cassandra Ouellet allowed Petri Saukkonen through before La Rascasse, but failed to stay out of the way of her teammate Avogadro, instead seemingly swerving in the way and stalling the bird's momentum. A good exit out of turn 18 and 19, where Saukkonen got a bit squirrelly on old worn tires led the two to be almost along side each other as they crossed the line; the avian finishing 0.170 seconds behind the Finn. Prince Avogadro was not impressed and did not hide this on the podium, collecting his trophy and being unenthused when spraying the champange before leaving the podium as soon as the photo was taken.

Prince Avogadro had a pointless streak for the next few races, suffering a power failure in Austria after qualifying 5th. His next points came at his home race around Silverstone where he came 7th in a red-flag restarted race, and then only gathered 1 additional point in Hungary before the season break.

The Prince came back from the season break with speculations around his mental health and wellbeing within the team and sport, after a string of incidents with his teammate and media suggesting he did not belong in the sport, being called a pay-driver and highlighting his recent poor results; which went on to include a crash and DNF at a rain soaked Belgian GP.

Prince Avogadro's first win in Furmula One came at Monza at round 14 of the Championship. Coming from 4th on the grid, the avian secured his first win cleanly, sharing the tifosi and podium with his former F2 rivals, Salomé Montés and Joseph Mahri.

The remaining races of the season only provided a further 10 points to Prince Avogadro which came in Japan. An ailing engine meant that the Prince was left trundling along at the back of the pack in Mexico City wanting to retire the car from the race instead of nursing it to the finish line.

With the team in agreement that the engine would not last for the final round of the 2022 season, Cuzata agreed to put an older engine from earlier in the season back into the car, which proved promising as Prince Avogadro and teammate Cassandra Ouellet topped FP2 and FP3 in Brazil, with the bird then unstopable in taking his first pole position, along side his teammate for the final race. Prince Avogadro did not relent on his charge in Brazil, leading every lap, only concieving a place to his teammate Ouellet and since-crowned 2022 champion, Samuel Lopez, when taking his manditory pitstops. However on top 50/55, Joseph Mahri is about to be lapped by the leading Avogadro on the outside of turn 6 when he makes a twitch movement towards the pole-sitter and striking the Cuzata's front wing off and continuing on into the gravel to DNF. Prince Avogadro then limped back to the pits to pits loosing three positions as he tried to mitigate any further damage, and then lost a further five places while in the pitlane having the nose of the car changed for the final 5 laps; coming out of it pits and eventually finishing in 9th position. The incident was noted but never investigated by the stewards; this was protested by the Cuzata F1 Team but the protest was soon dimissed by the IAFSC.

Prince Avogadro finished 12th in the Championship; only 3 points behind his F2 rival and fellow rookie, Joseph Mahri, which Avogadro still continues to dismiss, insisting that he would of finished ahead of the Algerian if it wasn't for the incident at the final race that Mahri only stood to gain from. This has sparked some hate towards Mahri on social media which the Prince has come out against, but still does not forgive the incident or accept the official result.

**2023 Season**

Apart from two retirements in the first half of the season, Prince Avogadro only once finished outside the points which came at the inaugural Finnish GP. He achived pole position at the Malaysian GP which was then won by regining World Champion Samuel Lopez, relegating Avogadro to 2nd. The following race in Australia resulted in the driver's first DNF of the season, after a collision with Drew Fawkes on lap 23 at turn 7 resulted in a racing incident. The second DNF came in Portugal when on lap 35, the prince collides with the barrier after a rapid tyre failure putting an end to a poor weekend for the prince after having to start from the pitlane. This was then followed by a poor showing at his home race; qualifying on the front row at Silverstone only to loose out under the safety car from Troy Ryder's car catching fire which the Cuzata team did not react to, resorting the driver to finishing only in 8th position. Fortune then turned as heading into the season break, Prince Avogadro scored a 3rd place podium at the Hockenheimring from 6th on the grid, going into the summer break 7th in the drivers championship.

After returning form the summer break, Prince Avogadro lead his teammate at the front of the grid at Monza, but battled each other all the way up to chicane of turn 5, where they made contact. Avogadro was out of shape heading into turn 6 and lost multiple positions, whilst his teammate was unable to rejoin the circuit until all of the other cars had passed her, positioning Cassandra Ouellet at the back. The next few races continued to rise and dip like a rollwer coaster as the prince scored his first and only win of the 2023 season at the Singapore GP, only for disappointment to return in Japan there after, crashing out on turn 4 at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit which he was unfamiliar with whilst Suzuka undertook significant work. The Bahrain GP directly after was another opportunity to stand on the podium and net some all important points for the constructors championship which brought Cuzata back ahead of Conda Rising Sun Racing. The remainder of the season was then struck by disappointment, as Joseph Mahri struck Prince Avogadro in Mexico when the Cuzata driver was running in 8th position and moving to lap the Algerian African wild dog resulting in both DNF'ing, and then once again the bird fell fowl to fire in control electronics that the team had been nursing at the end of the season.

**The Prince of Blue Flags Conspiricy**

Over the course of his Single Seater career Prince Avogadro has had multiple incidents where he has been leading a race or is on track to taking the lead of a race but a lapped car has caused an incident where he has lost the lead or places as a result. Whilst there may have been more of these incidents before his debut in Furmula 3, we have only listed incidents that took place in IAFSC Furmula 3 and onwards.
