Piquet and DeFrancesco with Trident

Already aligned within the stable Trident in GP3 Series in 2018, the Brazilian Pedro Piquet will find the structure of Giacomo Ricci this year, on the stage of the new FIA championship F3, which takes over from the GP3 Series.

Winner of two races last year (Silvestone and Monza), the son of three-time world champion Nelson Piquet will be the teammate of the Finn Niko Kari.

“Pedro’s talent and potential are beyond doubt, says Ricci. I am delighted to see him continue his quest to one day gain access to Formula 1 with Trident. The team will do everything possible to support him and enable him to achieve his career goals.

He will be part of an extremely competitive line-up that could write a new chapter in our successful history in this championship. »
