O’SULLIVAN TESTS ASTON MARTIN
Aston Martin BRDC Autosport Young Driver of the Year Zak O’Sullivan had his prize drive in a Formula 1 car at Silverstone last week.
The 17-year-old, who was crowned at the Grosvenor House Hotel in December last year, sampled an AMR21 and completed 32 laps. The running began on a damp track and O’Sullivan’s car was fitted with wet tyres before the 2021 GB3 title winner was able to switch to slicks for the latter part of the day.
Aston Martin’s team principal Mike Krack said: “He adapted in a very logical way. His feedback was good and made a lot of sense against what we saw on the data. Ultimately what we found was that Zak took information onboard well, made no mistakes and went about everything in a very positive and promising way.”
