Pierre-Louis Chovet, what now?

For Pierre-Louis Chovet, there will be a before and an after F3 Asia. If it was only a question of a winter championship, the 18-year-old Frenchman did better than keep pace with much more experienced drivers, including two winners in F2. « This winter allowed me to gain full confidence in myself, he told us.

Apart from the last round, I had no drop in speed. I also understood quite a bit about the departure procedures. All this will help me in FIA F3 »

A championship that Pierre-Louis will discover this year. Before flying to the Gulf, the Avignonnais signed with Jenzer, penultimate in the Teams ranking in 2020. If he had been able to choose his future destination now, perhaps the top teams would have come forward more. Moreover, Pierre-Louis was seriously considered by Hitech Grand Prix – 5th in the Drivers' ranking with Liam Lawson last year – before Red Bull places his foals there.

« I don't regret joining Jenzer at all, however, assures the Frenchman. The top teams had signed their drivers well before the start of F3 Asia. And the project with Jenzer is very interesting. » And for good reason, as we revealed this week (see Briefing pages) the Swiss entity has approached Dams. “ This partnership will allow Jenzer to progress, he is convinced. And it could also be an opportunity for me to collaborate directly or indirectly with Dams »

In Asia, the Habs were also assisted by Romain Goasguen, an engineer from the Sarthe team who will accompany him this season at Jenzer. “ The relationship with him is really very good, he told us. It's a bit of a change from recent years to be honest. We did a good job together and I'm happy to work with him »

Obviously, it will be difficult for the Habs to compete for first places without the support of a top team in FIA F3. But PLC keeps in mind the example of Yuki tsunoda, 9th in the championship with this same Swiss team in 2019. That year, the Nippon also won a race at Monza. “ My goal is to finish in the Top 10 of the championship. » Above all, it would be an excellent way to be popular with F2 teams for 2022.
