A member of the Red Bull Junior Team from 2023 to 2024,[1] Deligny raced in the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship, finishing fourth overall. He progressed to Formula Regional European in 2024, finishing third in 2025 with R-ace GP.

Personal life

Deligny was born in Shanghai to a Chinese mother, Yan Sha, and a French father, Arnaud Deligny, who formerly raced in the Chinese Volkswagen Polo GTi Cup, which he won in 2013 and 2014. Enzo has one younger sister, Elisa Deligny. Enzo speaks French, Mandarin Chinese, and English fluently and has a good knowledge of Italian.[2] As of 2023 he resides in Milan, Italy.[3]

Career

Karting

At the age of five, Deligny started karting at the track located inside the Shanghai International Circuit. He won his first race at age 6, the Rotax Max Asia in Shanghai on a SodiKart chassis. Having moved to Los Angeles in 2015, the Frenchman began to race in American championships, winning the Challenge of the Americas and the SKUSA Spring Nationals four years after the fact, as well as finishing second in the SKUSA SuperNationals in the Mini category.[4] In 2020, Deligny switched over to the European karting scene, managing to end up as the runner-up in the ROK Cup International Final.[5]

In 2021, Deligny started racing for the Parolin Motorsport team, competing in various European series in the OK Junior category, which included the CIK-FIA European Championship.[6] The following year, Deligny remained with Parolin, this time progressing to the OK Senior class. This move yielded immediate success, as he would take his first victory at age 13 (one of the three drivers to ever win a race in senior at 13) at the final round of the WSK Super Master Series.[7] From there, he would impress further, winning races in the WSK Euro Series, finishing second overall,[8][9] and taking a podium at Zuera in the European Championship, as well as qualifying in third for the season finale at Franciacorta,[10][11] where he would end up fourth in the standings.[12][13][14] Speaking about his final year in karting, Deligny described it as having been "positive", whilst conceding that he "could have been better".[15]

Formula 4

2023

Deligny made his single-seater debut in 2023, competing in the F4 Spanish Championship for Campos Racing, with previous year's champion Nikola Tsolov having recommended the team to the Frenchman.[16][17] Deligny started with a fourth place in Spa-Francorchamps, and did not take long to secure his first win at Aragón.[18] He took two second places in the two remaining races.[19][20] Deligny scored consistent podiums in the next three rounds, including another victory in Estoril, boosting his title hopes.[21] However, he only netted one more podium in the final two rounds, which came in Barcelona.[22] That round was also overshadowed by a disqualification for Deligny after he aggressively forced another driver off the track on the run down to turn 1 on the opening lap.[23] Nevertheless, Deligny wrapped up the season fourth in the standings with 240 points, securing two wins and ten podiums.

Deligny also took part in two rounds in the Italian F4 Championship with AKM Motorsport.[24] He finished in the points on all races during the Imola opener and a further ninth place in Paul Ricard placed him 22nd in the standings with eight points.[25] He also competed in the Euro 4 Championship with the team for one round in Monza, taking a tenth place.

2024

Deligny joined the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship for the final three rounds with R-ace GP.[26] He earned two podiums throughout his three-round stint, including winning the second race during the final round in Dubai.[27] Despite missing the opening two rounds, Deligny ranked eighth in the overall championship.

Formula Regional

2024

For 2024, Deligny stepped up to the Formula Regional European Championship with R-ace GP, alongside teammates Tuukka Taponen and Zachary David.[26] He had a quiet season and netted regular points finishes; with a best finish of fourth, he finished 12th in the overall standings.

Deligny also competed in the Macau Grand Prix with R-ace GP.[28] He impressed in his maiden outing at the circuit, finishing fifth in the qualification race and improving the next day to fourth in the main race.[29]

2025

During the 2025 off-season, Deligny raced in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with R-ace GP and finished fifth of the championship with one race victory and two third places.[30] He took two third places during the first two rounds of the season,[31][32] before taking his only win of the campaign during the final Qatar finale, therefore elevating him to fifth in the standings.[33]

For his main campaign, Deligny remained with R-ace GP for his sophomore FRECA season.[34] After scoring points in Misano, he earned his first podium and win in Spa-Francorchamps.[35][36] He took his first pole two rounds later in Budapest,[37] but two slow moments costed him the win and dropped to third; he was later disqualified for dangerous driving.[38][39] Deligny took another pole during the first Imola race,[40] this time he led every lap for his second win of the year.[41] This was followed by a run of three consecutive podiums that extended into Austria.[42] His momentum continued into Barcelona and Hockenheim, earning a pole and win each in both rounds that left him an outside chance for the title.[43][44] Despite only scoring two points in the season-ending Monza round, Deligny finished the year third in the overall standings with four wins, four poles, nine podiums and 235 points; a remarked improvement from the previous year.

FIA Formula 3

In 2026, Deligny was signed to step up to race in Formula 3 with Prema Racing.[45] On 6 February, Deligny was announced to leave Prema, instead switching to Van Amersfoort Racing.[46]

Formula One

In January 2023, Deligny was announced to be joining the Red Bull Junior Team.[47] He departed after two seasons, leaving the team for 2025.[48] Speaking about his departure, Deligny stated that he could "come back to Red Bull" if he "performs well" in the future.[49]
