Trident Motorsport has announced the signing of Czech driver Roman Stanek for the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship.
The campaign will be Stanek’s third in the category, having raced for Charouz Racing System and Hitech Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
The 17-year-old’s best result in the series is two third place finishes, which he achieved last year.
“I am proud to be part of the Trident Motorsport line-up as it is a leading force among F3 teams,” Stanek said.
“I hope to bring in experience and speed to help the team defend its 2021 title.
“In my first two seasons in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, I’ve grown up constantly and I am sure that with Trident Motorsport we will have all the components needed to compete at a high level.”
Trident enters the 2022 season looking to retain the Teams’ Championship, having bested rivals Prema last year.
“We are proud to welcome a racer with such outstanding qualities like Roman Stanek,” said Team Manager Giacomo Ricci.
“Despite being only 17, Roman is in his third year in the category and will bring the right amount of experience and speed.
“That will allow the team to continue its winning tradition in the FIA Formula 3 Championship.
“Roman impressed the technical staff during the 2021 post-season test when he was constantly among the fastest drivers on the track.”
Stanek is the final driver to be announced by Trident for the upcoming season, joining Jonny Edgar and Zane Maloney at the Italian team.
