Career

Lower formulae

Pedersen began his single-seater career in 2016, driving for the Leading Edge Grand Prix in cooperation with Global Racing Group, a team set up by his father Christian Pedersen,[4][5] in the F4 United States Championship.[6] While he had strong start with a podium finish at Mid-Ohio, Pedersen ended up tenth in the drivers' standings.

For the 2017 season, Pedersen remained in the F4 US series, partnering Justin Sirgany and Jacob Loomis at Global Racing Group.[7][8] This season yielded more success, as the Dane took podiums in the first two events,[9] before ending the campaign on a particularly impressive note, winning twice in the penultimate round and once more at the season finale, held as part of the 2017 United States Grand Prix weekend. These results led to Pedersen finishing fourth overall, beating both of his teammates.[citation needed]
