ART Grand Prix is pleased to announce the arrival of Frederik Vesti into its Formula 3 team. Winner of numerous trophies in karting from 2012 to 2015, particularly in the illustrious WSK World Cup in the KFJ category, the Danish driver has engaged with the same success in single-seater racing where, at just 19, he racked up 61 podiums from the 131 races he contested.
In 2019, Frederik won the Regional Formula Championship with 13 wins from 24 races. Last year he was s a title contender all the way to the Mugello final where he won the first race.
Frederik Vesti:
“I am changing to ART, to evolve further as a driver and learn to work within a new environment. I’m convinced that will take me one step closer to my goal, which is to reach Formula 1. The collaboration between ART, Mercedes and me, is the beginning of an incredibly exciting journey for me. The thing I find most interesting about ART, is their incredible success with young drivers. ART is a tough team in the most positive sense, and they focus a lot on data and my development as a driver. What I look forward to the most is starting the teamwork and learn from skilled people that I trust will take me to my limit. The greatest challenge is the language! I never learned any French in school, but the last couple of months I have spent time doing my best to learn some French. I want to try and communicate and pick up some words but also to show the team that I go into this collaboration fully committed. Many thanks to Seb for deciding for me as a new team member and believing in my skills as a driver. And many thanks to Prema for taking me to where I’m today.”
Sébastien Philippe:
“We know Frederik very well since he was one of our most formidable opponents last season in Formula 3. He lacked a bit of success to secure the crown and we were eager to start our collaboration with him, in Barcelona during the offseason testing. He merged into the ART Grand Prix mold and immediately met our expectations in terms of technical feedback, reliability and speed. With Frederik, ART Grand Prix will try to win back the FIA F3 title.”
