Leading from the start of the 2022 FIAFormula3 season, VictorMartinsFR sat a champion in waiting as a red-flagged race decided his destiny. whatmegandid charts Martins' path to the title that hasn’t always been straightforward. F3 ⬇️
Though he says that “whatever happens, I’ve got [the title],” Martins still believes his track limits penalty was unfair and maintains that he was unaware of any infringements because the team were told “very late, too late” about any violations. But the title has been won, and he won't be pursuing the FIA for answers.
“But I think to get it, it’s like I will trust differently how things went. Even if it’s not going your way, like today was to be honest, at some points I thought anyway it’s over, it’s done, I will not be the champion, and to get it is making me hope for a better future and maybe an easier one. Martins led the standings from the first round, then was briefly overtaken by star rookie Hadjar, but got the job done at Monza to see off Maloney and BearmanHe added: “It means a lot. I have been fighting for the championship even last year, I’ve been working for two years to reach it. I knew last year, I was in my rookie season with MP Motorsport, I knew we had to work a lot to get to the top, we did a good job and got some consistency.
“I knew him for years, I had been working with him at Renault at the time,” he said. “We had been doing training camps in Enstone, also in France. “I want to keep that, his passion for the sport. He was always smiling even when things were not good. I really wanted to cross that finish line and show on the camera I did it for him. I don’t want to show it to anybody, I just want to do it for him.”Photo by: Dutch Photo Agency
