Monger's plan to catch F1's eye
Billy Monger scored his first single-seater win with a masterful drive in Pau earlier this year. The rest of the 2019 Euroformula Open season has been dominated by a rival team, but he's still eyeing ways to get on the Formula 1 bill next season
It should've been at Rockingham in British Formula 4 in 2016. It could've been at Donington Park in BRDC British Formula 3 in 2018. But instead it wasn't until in Pau in Euroformula Open earlier this year that Billy Monger ended his wait for a first single-seater victory.
That Pau win in changeable conditions in May was incredibly significant. Not only was it Monger's first triumph in a slicks-and-wings machine, it also marked his first on-track victory since the horrific F4 crash at Donington two years ago that led to the then 17-year-old's double leg amputation.
