This weekend’s Hungarian GP saw 17-year-old ace Zak O’Sullivan climb from P22 to P4 in Sunday’s F3 Feature Race. The Williams Racing Academy driver pitted for slick tyres just seven laps from the end, re-joining way outside of the Top 20 before storming through the field to cross the line in 4th.

After impressing with an unexpected pole position in qualifying, Williams Academy driver Zak O’Sullivan went on to snatch his first FIA F3 podium at both his and his team Carlin’s home race.

In a weekend scattered with downpours and sunshine, Zak O’Sullivan impressed with strong Qualifying pace and a P6 race finish, demonstrating good team progress following Bahrain and the in-season tests.

FIA Formula 3 resumed its test programme last week, travelling to Barcelona for another two-day visit – the last in-season sessions of 2022. For Zak and the Carlin team, this Easter weekend event provided an opportunity to test various set-ups ahead of the upcoming race weekends.

The first of the two official FIA F3 in-season tests took place in Jerez, Spain, concluding Wednesday evening. Zak and the Carlin team saw some real progression, with the AMABA award winner finishing the Wednesday morning session in P2.

On the opening weekend of the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship in Bahrain, O'Sullivan achieved a P6 finish in the Sprint Race, bringing home points on his debut.

Zak rounded off three-days of FIA F3 testing in Bahrain within the Top 10 as he prepares for Round 1 in just two weeks' time.

On the day of his 17th birthday Zak was crowned the winner of the iconic Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award.

GB3 Champion Zak O’Sullivan has been selected as a member of the Williams Racing Driver Academy, joining the legendary Formula One team at just 16 years of age. In 2022 he will race in the FIA Formula 3 Championship for Carlin, a team he has enjoyed a successful two seasons within British single seaters.
