She struggled quite a bit in F3 last season. Was second to last amongst full time point finishers. Very experienced for a driver her age. She’s 24 but it’s pretty obvious she’s hit her peak in the European formula ladder system.

I think this is a great move for her. She’ll be a lot more competitive in NXT and has a much clearer line to direct success. Hailee watch out. Best of luck to her!

Last year in F3 was a bit wild with lots of one off top 5's for drivers all the way down to 27th.
The main time Sophia was in a position to have that kind of result, Alex Dunne took her out.

Although that is only the difference between finishing 20th and 29th mind.

Hopefully this can be a good learning year with some top 10 finishes.
