Hitech now look towards Round 3 of the FIA Formula 3 Championship on 02 – 04 July at the iconic Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria.

 

Ayumu Iwasa reflects on a positive weekend at Le Castellet: 

“The first few laps, I was struggling with the car balance,” admitted Iwasa. “The car was not so bad, and I had good pace compared to the guy in front of me, but my tyre management was not so good. So, in the last few laps, my front tyre was completely dead.”

With less than two weeks to prepare for Round 3, Iwasa is thankful for the testing experience he gained at the track during pre-season and says he will be maximising his time on the simulator between now and then.

“It wasn’t so bad,” said Iwasa on his testing experience in Spielberg. “My driving has not been as good in high-speed corners, so that is an area that we need to look at.

“I will be working to improve on that, and it is an area that I think I can be better at for the Red Bull Ring. We can look at this on the simulator and we can look back at the data with the team.”
