ART Grand Prix surely had no doubts when it came to signing Th\u00e9o Pourchaire for a third season (F3 and F2). Indeed, the native of Grasse just had an outstanding and noticed 2021 season.<\/p>\n
Runner-up in Formula 3 in 2020 (behind Oscar Piastri), the French driver made his debut this year in the stepping stone to Formula 1, alongside many competitors vying for the F2 title. While already holding the record for the youngest driver to win a race in Formula 3, the Frenchman repeated the feat, this time in the higher category. Indeed, during his fantastic race weekend in Monaco, Th\u00e9o Pourchaire, at only 18 years old, became the youngest pole-sitter and winner in Formula 2.<\/p>\n
With two victories (Monaco, Monza) and a fifth place in the overall standings (second best rookie), despite a fracture of the ulna, Th\u00e9o Pourchaire has become one of the closely watched rising stars in the F2 and Formula 1 paddocks. A driver from the Sauber Driver Academy, he even had the opportunity to practice driving a 2019 F1 car during private tests at the Hungaroring circuit with the Alfa Romeo team.<\/p>\n
\nThis team has become a family to me. We already achieved a lot of things together in 2 years. We are dreaming about something big, we will go again for one last challenge.
We will compete together again this year in one of the most beautiful Motorsport category. pic.twitter.com\/DHxTVQQ3J5<\/a><\/p>\n
