Aged just 19, Frederik Vesti has already made a name for himself. The Dane had two strong seasons in Formula 4 before dominating the inaugural Formula Regional European Championship in 2019. Now he’s joined ART Grand Prix for his second season in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, after placing fourth in his rookie campaign with Prema Racing in 2020, and has recently joined the Mercedes Formula 1 Team’s junior programme.

Joining Vesti at the French team are Juan Manuel Correa, returning to motorsport after a year out following his serious crash at the Spa Formula 2 round in 2019 that claimed the life of Anthoine Hubert, and Alexander Smolyar, who stays with the team for a second season.
