My deal to compete in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Hitech this year came together very late on and, to be honest, I didn’t expect to be doing it. It finally happened just a couple of weeks before the first race in Bahrain. We were the last driver signed coming into the year, so I was a bit on the back foot, not doing any testing, and not knowing any of the circuits bar Silverstone, Red Bull Ring and of course Spa.
Winning the 2022 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver Award after claiming the GB3 title with Hitech really, really helped me get that F3 seat. It shows you the opportunity you have as a British racing driver to show what you can do in equal machinery to the other three best drivers in the UK.
