F3 Season Review: Living up to the hype
There were high expectations for Nico Hulkenberg this year, but he didn't disappoint and dominated the Euro Series, while the British championship was left to the rookies to contest
In a year when the category was flooded with front running rookie talent, it was an experienced hand that stole the show. Pre-season favourite Nico Hulkenberg lived up to his billing and - once a shaky start was out of the way - he delivered time and again, while nobody in either the European or British championships was able to sustain any such period of dominance.
It's easy to get carried away with achievements in Formula 3, and spend too much time on the minor details and the ins and outs of the competition, while neglecting the bigger picture. To simplify things, every driver on the grid is there because he or she wants to be a Formula One driver - or at the very least a paid driver in some form of top-line motorsport.
