Marcus Armstrong is another addition to Ferrari’s vastly-growing Driver Academy network, with th🧔e 17-year-old set to embark on h🐻is maiden season in European F3 with single-seater giants Prema.

The New Zealander has already raced in 2018, finishing third in his homeland’s Toyota Racing Series, following up on an impressive 20ꦍ17 campaign.

Four race victories helped Armst🦄rong seal the Italian F4 championship, while he was denied a second championship in the same year by just four-and-a-half points in the equivalent ADAC German series.

Despite being one of the youngest drivers on the Euroღpean F3 grid in 2018, Armstrong will be determined to fiꦡght at the sharp end with Prema’s backing, but faces stiff competition from his team-mates in what promises to be a fascinating intra-team battle between Mick Schumacher, TRS champion Robert Shwartzman, Ralf Aron and Guanyu Zhou.
