Beginning his career in karting at the age of nine, O'Sullivan would compete in numerous national and international karting series until 2019, when the British youth graduated to car racing with a seat in the Ginetta Junior Championship.[3] Finishing as runner-up despite switching teams mid-season, O'Sullivan moved into single-seaters the following year, taking a seat in the F4 British Championship where he would again finish as runner-up, this time to Luke Browning.[3] 2021 saw O'Sullivan continue up the ladder by taking a seat in the GB3 Championship, which would finally see O'Sullivan claim a title and the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award for the year.[3]
For 2022 O'Sullivan moved up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship, claiming a lone pole position en-route to eleventh in the championship and a seat in the Williams Driver Academy for his efforts.[3] The 2023 season saw O'Sullivan work as Williams' Formula One test driver alongside a title bid in F3, which ended with the Brit finishing as runner-up for the third time in five seasons in a junior series, earning him anotehr move up the ladder to the FIA Formula 2 Championship.[3] There O'Sullivan would pick up two victories in what proved to be a volatile rookie season, with the Brit ultimately deciding to move across to Japan to race in the Super Formula series for 2025.[3]
