Estonian Paul Aron has been an unexpected sensation in his rookie Formula 2 season. Although no longer affiliated with the Mercedes junior scheme, having stepped away from the programme following his F2 debut in the 2023 Abu Dhabi finale, the Formula 3 graduate enters the Austrian weekend which marks the midpoint of the campaign at the head of the standings.
The Hitech driver has achieved that feat in a field stacked with talent, with a mixture of experienced drivers and highly-rated fellow rookies including the seemingly Mercedes Formula 1-bound Andrea Kimi Antonelli, despite having yet to stand atop the podium.
