Guest five on ‘10 Questions’ is current GB3 driver and race winner Max Esterson! He’s currently 3rd in the standings.
The American driver from New York started his career as an online driver on the popular iRacing platform aged 11 before moving onto in 2019. Since then the 19 year old’s reputation has soared and he now sits third overall in the GB3 championship.
If Max was to look for incentive, last year’s GB3 champion, Zak O’Sullivan moved straight to FIA F3 on the back of his win, as well as joining the prestigious Williams Academy team.
With Red Bull backing, Max(aptly named for a Red Bull driver), will hope to advance through the ladder fast, and will hope his GB3 exploits with Douglas Motorsport will lead to catching the eye.
