The Brit forging his own path to F1
You might think it harsh that Alex Lynn separated from Red Bull after winning the GP3 title. But, as he tells MATT BEER, he's delighted to have secured a DAMS GP2 deal and Williams F1 role on his own terms
"So you're still working with Red Bull this year..." Alex Lynn shakes his head. "No connection at all?" "No."
That question hadn't exactly been planned as a curveball. Or even a question. After all, Lynn had just won the GP3 title (by a commanding margin) as a Red Bull junior and now been announced as a DAMS GP2 driver alongside 2014 Red Bull stablemate Pierre Gasly.
