POLE POSITION
exciting times ahead in F1,
but what next for british F3?
Formula 1 launch season is upon us,
and within these pages you’ll find the full lowdown
on Lotus’s new E21, while details of McLaren
(Thursday), Ferrari and Force India (Friday), Sauber
(Saturday) and Red Bull (Sunday) launches will be
a click away on autosport.com.
After that comes Tuesday’s first F1 test at Jerez,
where we’ll start to get some tangible answers rather
than mere hyperbole. Exciting times await us.
On the flipside, news of the radical downsizing of this year’s British
Formula 3 Championship calendar is a worrying development for one
of the best, and historically famous, driver-development categories in
this country. Only last Saturday I sat down for a chat over breakfast
with reigning champion Jack Harvey, and later bumped into an old mate
from my days covering the Brit F3 beat, Mark Webber. Two shining
examples of the fantastic driving talent
that this series has produced; two of
many reasons why this series cannot
be allowed to wither further.
Unless something is done – and
soon – we risk losing a precious
gem. Make no mistake: this
country’s rich motor racing
tapestry is in peril.
