ART withdraws from Formula 3

10 November 2010

Formula 3 stalwart ART Grand Prix has announced that it is pulling out of the Formula 3 Euro Series - and indeed all F3 series - following a season which has already featured a significantly decreased grid size for the championship.

'It is with deep regret that ART Grand Prix has announced that they will terminate their Formula 3 programme and not be taking part in any Formula 3 series in 2011,'
reads a statement from the French outfit, which this year was beaten to the F3 Euro Series title by Signature-Plus.


‘The evolution of the company means that ART Grand Prix will take on some new directions that will be revealed in the new future.’

The statement went on to thank partners of the team, notably Mercedes-Benz, and added that the squad ‘remains completely focused and committed to the GP2/GP3 championships and will continue to honour its philosophy, which is to succeed in some of the higher formulae and to promote young drivers as in the past.’

Previous drivers listed in ART’s statement are Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Alexandre Premat, Adrian Sutil, Romain Grosjean, Nico Hülkenberg, Paul di Resta, Jules Bianchi, Kamui Kobayashi, Valtteri Bottas, Bruno Spengler and Jamie Green.
