F1: Williams driver Alex Albon has collided with the wall after losing control on turn 6, thankfully he walked away unscathed.
The 19-year-old’s first Formula 3 campaign last year started slowly but ended with a bang. Driving for mid-grid Campos team, Mansell scored maiden points in Melbourne, charged to his first podium in Silverstone and rocketed from 23rd to second place on a chaotic weekend in Spa, a performance that earnt him the award for comeback of the year.
“I felt like I was at the top of my game, I was one of the top people in the championship, and if you tell yourself that, if you believe it, you can do a lot with that.”His graft with the mid-grid Campos team turned heads, and by the end of the year his stock was soaring.Nursery for a laundry list of truly household motorsport names, ART has promised to keep Mansell’s star in its rapid ascent.
The European powerhouse is racing royalty, founded by Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur and renowned driver manager Nicolas Todt, son of former FIA president Jean Todt.Joining ART’s ranks is a reflection Mansell’s burgeoning reputation in Formula 3, and so far it’s been a perfect fit. He slipped from fifth to 14th in the opening sprint race, but overnight he directed set-up changes that totally revitalised his fortunes, allowing him to charge from eighth to second, securing his third podium in the category and his most impressive rostrum appearance to date.
“Less things are going to be jumping at me and I feel more on top of it,” he says. “On the whole definitely in the second year you just feel much better. “But I will say this, and I’ve said this to the team, I’ve had plenty of conversations: my one request of myself is that I maximise the weekend to 100 per cent of its potential.
The road to the finale in Monza routes through Melbourne for the second time in the history of the series, and while Mansell is steadfast in his week-by-week approach to success, there’s no doubt he’ll be pulling out all stops to better last year’s memories after scoring his maiden points.
