The son of one-time Formula 1 grand prix winner Jarno is focusing on Japan’s second-tier single-seater series for his third season in car racing after becoming a part of the Toyota-aligned TOM’S squad’s four-car line-up.
He was signed up following a private test at Fuji Speedway in January, and then got further mileage in this month’s pre-season test at Suzuka, where he was sixth-fastest across the two days, just over three tenths off the pace set by team-mate Hibiki Taira.
