In the electrifying world of motorsport, where speed meets precision and passion drives ambition, Alex Waters has carved a legendary path over 26 years. From grass-roots karting to the Formula One roadshow, his story is one of relentless dedication and a fierce commitment to shaping racing’s future stars. From his early on track competition Alex raced some of the best young global talent going, from GT racing legend Nick Tandy to F1 superstars like Daniel Ricciardo and Sergio Perez. Alex’s story isn’t an ordinary one. As a teenager Alex was diagnosed with cancer, along his journey he became an ambassador for a children's cancer charity (CLIC Sargent) and through his commitment to fund raising and speaking at prestigious events like the Grand Prix Ball, and the British Christmas Ball, he rallied immense support for hundreds of young children suffering with cancer, raising just shy of $1M by the age of 18.

 

Alex’s love for racing sparked young, fuelled by a family love for motorsport, and growing up watching his father race rally cars across the UK. That thrill, paired with a fascination for the mechanics behind the speed, launched a career that would span continents. Being recognised by the elite Red Bull F1 Junior Team and being selected for management by the late Eddie Jordan, he honed his skills alongside top engineers, transforming from a talented driver into a motorsport sage. While funding ultimately stifled Alex’s personal racing career, like so many others, his passion and love for the sport still shines through. 

 

Since 2004 Alex has been coaching, channeling his expertise into mentoring aspiring racers. With credentials from Silverstone, the home of motorsport, and years on its team, he’s since coached drivers at most of the world's iconic tracks coaching everyone from those in his young driver development programs to gentlemen driver amateurs, to celebrities like the cast of Fast and Furious 5. “It’s about unlocking their potential, finding their ‘feel’ & focusing their mind. You cannot teach feel, but I show them how to find it'” he says, blending technical mastery with mental grit.

 

In 2023, Alex is still claiming podiums. Winning at Sebring, Road America and VIR in GT4 machinery alongside his clients, proving his competitive fire still burns. His versatility is clear, racing and coaching across prototypes and GTs, while past triumphs—like European F3 podiums and various Endurance racing wins—highlight his adaptability.

 

Beyond the track, Alex’s charisma shines. As a Red Bull F1 partner manager, he bridges racing with sponsors and VIPs. As an F1 Expert Host, he electrifies audiences at venues like the Royal Albert Hall and at F1 races across the World. His entrepreneurial edge drives innovations—corporate training, simulators, fitness coaching—while at Miami’s Concours Club, he refined the skills of ultra-wealthy drivers. Alongside his coaching, Alex is working on his biggest venture yet, starting a private member auto and outdoor adventure club in Bozeman, Montana!

 

Alex Waters embodies motorsport’s essence: a racer, mentor, and visionary. With speed in his veins and excellence as his creed, he’s not just part of the game—he’s redefining it.
