Andy Christian Soucek, a.k.a. Souček (born 14 June 1985) is a professional racing driver.
Soucek was born in Madrid, Spain. His father is Austrian, and he has Austrian and Spanish nationality, although he was born in Spain and has spent his life there. He races under the Spanish flag because he "feels Spanish". Soucek's career started in professional karting events during 1997, although he would not make a formula debut until his Portuguese Formula Ford drive of 2001. In 2002 he continued with karting whilst driving in Spanish Formula Three. In 2003 he ended his karting commitments, moving to the EV team.
He remained with EV during 2004 but would also drive two races for the GTA team. 2005 would be his key year, though, with Soucek's move to the Llusia team paying off after he won the title.
After being in contention for the 2006 Championship in the World Series by Renault, Soucek signed to race in the GP2 Series for 2007 with the DPR team. He remained with DPR for the first round of the 2008 GP2 Asia Series, but was dropped after signing for rival team FMS International for the premier 2008 championship. Surprisingly, with only five days to the 2008 championship start, FMS International terminated Soucek's contract unilaterally, replacing him with fellow Spaniard Roldán Rodríguez [1]. This left Soucek without time to find a new team in time for the season start. A legal dispute resulted between Soucek and FMS International.[2]
