Prema Powerteam is proud to confirm that young French talent Esteban Ocon will be on-board for the upcoming FIA F.3 European Championship. This is a logical next step in the relationship with him after the Junior Lotus F1 driver took part in the final round of the F.3 season at Macau with good results.
The 17-year-old will make his series debut with Angelo Rosin and his team on a Mercedes-powered Dallara. He is coming from two successful years in the Eurocup F.Renault where he ended up third in points last season. At the same time, he also gathered some experience in the Renault 2.0 ALPS and 2.0 NEC championships.
René Rosin – Team manager
“When we evaluated new, young drivers to add to our team for the 2014 season, we haven’t had any doubts on Ocon, as he proved his talent throughout his developmental path. This impression was corroborated by facts during the test held during the Macau weekend, when he progressively improved his pace and made it to the top-10 on one of the world’d toughest streetcourses. I definitely think that Ocon will be a frontrunner in the European F.3 series”.

“Im very happy and proud to have been chosen by Prema Powerteam for the 2014 campaign. After Macao and the winter tests, I feel ready to deliver and carry the Prema and Lotus F1 Junior Team colours to the top.”
