Jules Bianchi thanks Ferrari

The news of his continuation in the GP2 Series with Lotus ART broke shortly before Christmas. After winning the Championship F3 Euro Series in 2009 and won third place in the GP2 Series standings, Jules Bianchi therefore remains with ART which is joining forces with Lotus in order to seek the title in the discipline in order to possibly obtain a place as a regular driver in F1.

But above all, the Frenchman benefited from the experience acquired within the Ferrari Driver Academy, which this season offered him the position of reserve driver and test driver within the Team. “I thank the Ferrari Driver Academy. I have changed profoundly, compared to the previous year,” commented the Lotus ART driver on gp2series.com.

At only 21 years old, Jules Bianchi enjoys a great advantage over his opponents by having the opportunity to drive an F1 car for an entire season. “It was an important experience,” he added. ?It made me grow a lot and allowed me to get to know the company and the people who work on this project, qualified professionals with great humanity. »

The Lotus ART driver is happy to play another season in a successful and talented team. “My first year in the most competitive Championship after F1 allowed me to learn a lot. I am proud that Lotus ART has put its trust in me for another season. I know that with them, I will have the best environment to harvest what we have sown over the last few years. In addition, we will have the opportunity to fight for the title. »
