“I’m absolutely delighted to be racing with Prema Powerteam for a third consecutive year. I’m certain that Prema will give me the equipment and support for me to launch an attack on the 2016 FIA F3 European title which is my goal for next season. I joined Prema in my first season of car racing last year and they guided me to the Italian F4 title. This year they’ve done an awesome job for me in my maiden F3 season. I honestly could not be any happier than continuing to work with René and his team again next year and I know we will be ultra-competitive.”
