Spanish F3 champion joins Formula Two
The 2008 Spanish Formula 3 champion Germán Sánchez has signed up for the FIA Formula Two championship. The 19-year-old driver becomes the second Spaniard in the series after Andy Soucek was confirmed a week or so ago.
Sánchez made his single seater debut in 2006 and won the National class (Copa de Espãna) in his rookie season with seven class wins in 15 races. In 2007 he moved up to the newer cars in the main championship and finished fourth with two wins and four podium finishes. Last season he won the championship ahead of Nelson Panciatici from France and with 2009 F2 competitor Natacha Gachnang in third.
Germán Sánchez said: “I am very happy to be joining this Formula, it is a great opportunity. Formula Two is an important championship, the popularity and interest seems to be growing and growing. Everything is being achieved in a very professional manner and the organisers have attracted some great drivers from around the world. I am confident however, through my determination and hard work, that I can score some good results.”
