Dane closer to Formula 1: Grab the coveted seat

The Danish Formula 1 dreams have been a nøk up.

It happens, after the Italian Prema Racing with a new contract, has made the Danish teen Frederik Vesti a part of their plans for the international F3 series, as they dominated in the 2019 season. It writes the italians themselves, in a press release, which describes it as 'the natural step' for the Vesti.

Thus, the Danish representation in all the major series with Kevin Magnussen and to be expected, Christian Lundgaard, respectively, F1 and F2, and Vesti, who turns 18 later this month, in F3.

Vestis advancement in the Prema Racing's hierarchy may not come as a big surprise. The Danish racerhåb with roots in the mid-Filskov won the regional european F3 series comfortably. Vesti was in first place right from the premiere in the championship, which is the next step in F3. Just as a little surprising is the fact that the team's management only have positive things to say about the dane's ascension to the highest F3-step.

- We come from a very dominant season, and we know it will not be possible to do it all again next year. With it I have said, Frederick had an equally outstanding season in the regional F3, and we were impressed by his performances in Macau and Valencia, says team leader René Raisin.

Just as happy is the main character himself, who is now in the new decade's first year to run in what by many is considered as the best seat on the road towards the ultimate dream, Formula 1. Premas drivers sat namely on all three of the top grounds at the season's end, and thus it is a large seat, Vesti need to fill out from the start.

- I am extremely grateful to Prema for giving me the here chance. As drivers, we all dream of signing with Prema. Few of us get the chance, and I am fully aware of that. Each step I took in the regional series this year, was with one specific goal in mind. To continue for Prema in 2020. I love the team and the environment and efforts to improve every little detail, said the young dane, who also thanked his long list of sponsors who have financed the car.

Frederik Vesti started from the child's legs in the traditional manner, with karting, from which it has only gone one way. A second place in the Danish Formula 4 in 2016, gave him access to the German ditto. After impressive victories in the course of 2018 he was in Prema, for whom he thus won his greatest triumph in the just-completed year.
