From zero to hero: How F3's 2021 champion bounced back

After a disastrous 2020 in FIA Formula 3 with Hitech, Dennis Hauger began to doubt himself - with the self-belief he had built through success in junior series evaporating. But after regrouping, he stormed to the F3 title in 2021. Here’s how he did it

It might look like the logical conclusion to a season – Prema driver takes the crown, as they did the previous two years – but 2021 could have gone very differently for Dennis Hauger.
