Former Italian Formula 3 champion Riccardo Agostini has joined EuroInternational for their latest assault on the FIA European Formula 3 Championship.
It represents an odd sidestep for Agostini, who competed in the opening half of the Auto GP World Series for Manor MP Motorsport, as well as a single Formula Renault 3.5 race weekend with Zeta Corse.
Agostini’s Italian F3 title victory earned him a Ferrari Formula One test day at Fiorano. Now 19-years-old, Agostini has returned to full-time competition with the little Italian team. “I have accepted this new challenge with the EuroInternational Team […] determined to follow the road that the FIA indicated to the young drivers,” said Agostini, adding thereafter: “I look forward to compete in a high level environment such as the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, which I believe to be the appropriate series to continue with, after winning the Italian F3 title in 2012.”
According to Autosport’s Marcus Simmons {note 1}, EuroInternational are in the process of adding a second full-time driver for the coming season, while carrying on with their existing ATS Formula 3 Cup campaign.
