Career

Formula 4

Belov started his professional single-seater career in the SMP F4 Championship in 2017 with the SMP Racing team.[3] Belov claimed his first podium finish on the final race of the season with a third-place, finishing eighth overall in the championship. He continued in the championship for the 2018 season, claiming his first win at the second round in the NRING Circuit, winning races 1 and 3.[4] He ended the season with five wins, finishing second in the championship behind the Fin, Konsta Lappalainen.

In 2019, Belov joined the Italian F4 Championship with the Italian Bhai Tech Racing team.[5] He finished on the podium in the first two races. It was later announced that Belov would also contest the 2019 ADAC Formula 4 Championship starting from the second round. Belov won one race in ADAC F4 at the Sachsenring, finishing eighth in the championship.[6] Belov failed to win during his Italian F4 campaign, however, finished second on five occasions, ending the season fourth in the championship.

Formula Renault

At the end of 2019, Belov participated in the post-season Formula Renault Eurocup rookie test.[7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup season was disrupted and postponed. As a consequence, Reece Ushijima, who was previously announced to drive for Belgian team M2 Competition withdrew due to travel restrictions.[8] On 2 July 2020, M2 Competition announced that Michael Belov would drive for them for the full 2020 season.[9]

Formula 3

Following the Barcelona round of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship, David Schumacher left Charouz Racing System to join Carlin Racing instead.[10] Belov was brought in to replace him for the remainder of the Formula 3 season.[11][12]
