ADAC Formula 4 midfielder Julian Hanses has announced that he will step up to European Formula 3 with ma-con this year.
Hanses finished 11th in last year’s German-based F4 category, and will make the move with ma-con, which last competed in the series back in 2013.
“It is a great honour for me to have the chance to compete in one of the most famous junior racing series in the world,” said Hanses.
“Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher have already been racing Formula 3 successfully and paved their way for higher tasks.
“I am aware that this is not going to be an easy task. The competition is strong and many race tracks are new to me.”
Otto Schwadtke, ma-con team boss, added: “We are looking forward to being part of it again.
“I kept an eye on Julian’s performance throughout the last year and I am impressed by his way of working.
“We are certainly the underdog of all teams but I am very confident that we will spring a surprise here and there.”
