Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted August 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2022 So this is a topic about young talents coming through the ranks that could potentially make it into F1 or become a big thing in another motorsports series. I've just read about Ugo Ugochukwu, who is a McLaren junior and races for Carlin in the British Formula 4. Seems like he could become a very capable racing driver if he keeps at it.

Spike 5,100 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I was going to make a joke about F1 but then felt bad so just imagine this is the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 13, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 13, 2022 Andrea Kimi Antonelli is the first name that comes to mind. 15 years old, debuted in F4 last year in the middle of the season, so this current season is his first full one, and he is completely dominating both Italian and German F4 championships nevertheless. A joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a serious lack of representation for Germany in junior formulae, at least. Tim Tramnitz and Joshua Dürksen are the only ones currently racing at somewhat respectable level, imo.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 20, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted September 20, 2022 Two more names to put on the list - Nikola Tsolov and Alexander Dunne. Nikola Tsolov is Fernando Alonso's protege and Alpine Affiliate driver. Only 15 years old and currently dominating the Spanish F4, on the course to win it with two race weeks remaining. Today it was announced that he'll be doing the F3 post-season test for ART, so there's a good chance he'll make the step up to F3 next season. Alex Dunne is a 16-year-old Irish racing driver who's currently not affiliated with any academy, but is leading the British F4 and is 3rd in Italian F4. He's also taking part in Ferrari Driver Academy trials now, being one step away from the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
