Artem Markelov will play for the 7th consecutive year in F2 ! The 25-year-old Russian has found a full-time program at HWA Racelab, becoming the first driver confirmed for next year.

“Artem is the ideal driver for us in our first season as an independent team in F2, comments Ulrich Fritz, Managing Director of HWA AG. He has a lot of experience at this level, his 9 victories speak for him. His expertise will help ease our introduction into the series. I am happy to have been able to benefit from his services. »
