Formula One
2011: Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault
Stoneman made his Formula One debut as a substitute for James James Davies at Mercedes when the Briton suffered a minor injury at the Japanese Grand Prix. Stoneman finished his debut race in 19th place, having started at the back of the grid.
Stoneman then moved across to Ferrari for the Monaco Grand Prix weekend when regular driver Fernando Alonso was excluded. Stoneman managed a tenth place and a first podium finish with second place.
He was then drafted by Renault to replace Nicolas Prost for one of the Irish Grand Prix rounds, taking a fifth place finish in Athlone. He was retained for the European Grand Prix at Mugello, where he took a further eighth place.
Ferrari came calling once more at the Uruguayan Grand Prix, taking a best finish of eleventh.
Stoneman's impressive stand-ins made him an attractive candidate for a full time drive in 2012 - however Stoneman was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the latter part of 2011 - effectively ruling him out of a drive for a number of years until he recovered.
2014: Marussia
By 2014, Stoneman had recovered from his cancer and was trying to break back into Formula One. He made a brief reappearance in the United States Grand Prix with Marussia but failed to make the finish.
2016-2018: Team Calinetic
After a year of testing with the Mercedes team, Stoneman continued his recovery by standing in for Evgeny Restov at Calinetic Petronas for two races - his best result being twelfth in Hungary.
2017 saw him make several more stand-in appearances for Calinetic, managing a best result of tenth in Australia.
Stoneman made a further substitute appearance in 2018, racing in the British Grand Prix and finishing in 16th place.
