Trident has announced Zane Maloney as one of its drivers for the 2022 Formula 3 season.
Maloney, the 2019 British Formula 4 champion, classified fourth in last year’s Formula Regional European Championship.
Trident won last year’s Teams’ title in Formula 3, ending Prema’s streak, and has already recruited Red Bull-backed Jonny Edgar for one of its seats.
“We are delighted to welcome Zane to our line-up,” said Trident Team Manager Giacomo Ricci.
“He really stood out in the post-season test at Valencia last November. Zane adapted very quickly to the F3 car, posting competitive results both in terms of performance and long runs.
“A strong bond immediately formed between him and the team, which is proud to have secured a driver with good prospects with whom to compete in a demanding series such as Formula 3.”
Added Maloney: “Throughout the last season, I think I have grown as a driver, both in terms of managing the race weekends and in paying attention to every detail.
“Together with Trident Motorsport, I want to continue in this direction, and I am sure that there are all the ingredients to do well in Formula 3.
“I can’t wait to get out on track and start this new adventure in an extremely popular and competitive series.”
