the 17-year-old Frederik Vesti enters in the footsteps of some of the modern motorsports greatest talents, when he’s in 2019, the chasing Formula 1-the dream of the regional F3 championship.
The Danish talent has secured a seat at Prema Powerteam, informs Vesti Motorsport.
the Italian Prema is one of the absolute strongest teams in the juniorkategorierne. Ferraris juniors are hatched here, and the team has in recent years shot drivers Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly, Antonio Giovinazzi and Lance Stroll off to Formula 1.
Mick Schumacher won last year the european Formula 3 championship for Prema and running in the year of F2 for the team.
– It is a completely indescribable feeling I have right now. I have always dreamed of driving for the Prema one day. Looked at from the sidelines and admired their skill, and great results. I know that it is the team that can boost my career to a new level, says Vesti.

Both the breeds and the class is, however, new this year, as Formula 3 and GP3 are put together.
Vesti-family opted out early of the more high-profile F3 International series, which is supportløb to Formula 1, and where the Christian Lundgaard must be running for the competing and equally strong ART Grand Prix.
Both series require a budget of around a million euros (!), but with more day of testing, as well as eight grandprix-weekends and 24 years, the regional series of many more race kilometres than the F3 International.
So Vesti weigh the possibility of extra experience highest.
There are still bony to find the entire budget, he says.
– We are quite far, and there are still ends, we must have to achieve together. But I get this chance once, so it is now, I should dare to turn to, he says.
– They must be found, if my big dream to live.
In the past two seasons, Frederik Vesti turned its folds of the powerful German F4 series. It was in the last year to two wins, a total fourth place and not the least strong end of the season for just once.
As for Denmark’s second major F1-hope Christian Lundgaard will be 2019 a nøgleår for the Vesti. There must prevail in order to keep the life in the dream to follow Kevin Magnussen in Formula 1.
