Briti𓂃sh driver Jonathan Legris is to make a return to the European F3 Open Championship at Jerez having been forced to miss the last four meeting💦s.

Legris has been given the chance to join the De Vi🐽lotta Motorsport team for the event due to illness suffered by Samuelle Buttarelli - which could also give Legris the chance to contest the season 𒈔finale in Barcelona.

Despite being out of action for four months, Legris remains in contention for third place in the champions💮hip standings and will hope to repeat the performance he put in last season at Jerez, when he took second place despiteﷺ being at the wheel of an eight-year-old car.

"We tested𝕴 here at the start of the year, and on old tyres we were extremely quick so as long as I feel comfortable in the car, I'm sure we can get a podium or two," he said. "I have nothing to lose. I can't win the championship but I can snatch third at this race, and after the season I've had, it would be the best result.

"The drivers ahead of me in the championsh♎ip have done the whole season and they have a lot more to lose."
