Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg (born 21 June 1997 in Salzburg), is the eldest son of Karl von Habsburg, head of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. Habsburg is a racing driver currently competing in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship.
Habsburg was baptised on 6 September 1997 in Zagreb by Cardinal Franjo Kuharić, and was also given the traditional Croatian name Zvonimir (after King Demetrius Zvonimir of Croatia from the 11th century).
Habsburg is an Austrian citizen. While his traditional titles (Archduke of Austria, Royal Prince of Hungary, Bohemia and Croatia) are used abroad and in genealogical literature, they are not recognized by the Austrian government. His grandfather Otto von Habsburg renounced all claims to the Austrian throne.
Habsburg began his racing career at the age of 14 with the Austrian team, Speedworld Academy. He has worn racing number 62 since the beginning of his karting career.
In 2014 after 4 years spent in ROTAX Junior category, winning multiple championship titles, he switched to Rotax DD2.
He qualified three times for the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals (Portimao – 2012, New Orleans – 2013, Valencia – 2014)
10th place in the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in New Orleans, USA
In 2014, Habsburg made his début in single seaters, taking part in the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC Championship with Lechner Racing. He finished 4th with a 100% finishing rate in 15 races.
For 2015, Habsburg contested New Zealand's Toyota Racing Series in January and February 2015 with Victory Motor Racing, finishing 11th in the championship and 5th in the rookie class with two podium finishes.
Habsburg would return to the series with Giles Motorsport for 2016 and is currently third in the championship behind Lando Norris and Artem Markelov.
