Career
Karting (2018–2023) Lammers has had a very successful karting career, as in September 2020, he won his first major karting title, in the WSK Euro Series 60 Mini category. This was followed by victory in the same category in the Andrea Margutti Trophy. For 2021, Lammers stepped up to the X30 Junior and OK-Junior categories, as he won the Andrea Margutti Trophy again. For 2022, he stayed in the same category, having some more success by consistently finishing in the top-ten of championships. However, 2023 was his breakout season as he moved to the OK category, winning the Karting European Championship. Lammers also finished second in the Karting World Championship, driving for Parolin Motorsport.
Formula 4 (2024–2025) 2024 On 13 December 2023, Lammers announced his place as a competitor in the F4 Spanish Championship for 2024, where he would join MP Motorsport. Pre-season, Lammers joined the 2024 Formula Winter Series grid in preparation for his season in Spanish F4. He had a difficult season, only managing to finish 19th in the standings with a best result of sixth at MotorLand Aragón.
In his main campaign, Lammers started the season with a double points finish. However, points were hard to come by for Lammers that season, as after a fifth-place finish in Portimão, he was forced to wait until the Aragón round to score points. There, he had his best weekend, securing his first and only podium of the season during the second race. Collecting four more points finishes in the final three rounds, Lammers placed 13th in the standings, with 55 points.
