Juan Manuel Correa Borja (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwan maˈnwel koˈre.a ˈboɾ.xa]; born August 9, 1999) is an American-Ecuadorian racing driver currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship with DAMS Lucas Oil.[1] Aside from his single-seater career, he has also competed as a silver-ranked driver in the LMP2 category, winning a race in the European Le Mans Series.
Correa is best known for sustaining critical leg injuries during a 2019 accident at Spa-Francorchamps in Formula 2, which led to the death of fellow driver Anthoine Hubert.[2] After skipping a year to focus on his recovery, Correa went on to drive in FIA F3 before returning to Formula 2 at the end of 2022.[3][4]
