Formula 2's youngest race winner when he triumphed in Monaco at just 17 years old, Theo Pourchaire once was one of the hottest prospects on the way to Formula 1. After winning the F2 title at age 20 but on his third attempt, the Sauber reserve driver was unable to find a drive at the pinnacle of motorsport, as the Swiss-based team kept an unchanged line-up of Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.
Forays into Super Formula and IndyCar this year were short-lived for the impecunious Frenchman but made for an eventful campaign, and a somewhat frustrated but desperately optimistic Pourchaire longingly anticipates more opportunities while fulfilling his current F1 duties, as he told Motorsport.com in an exclusive interview.
