Arguably the strongest overtaker on the official road to F1 in the past three seasons, Robert Shwartzman’s calculatedly aggressive style dominated F3 in 2019, when he took the title with three wins and 10 podiums from 10 rounds.
Finishing fourth and second in two years of F2, it was only the Ferrari junior’s slow start to 2021 that stopped him from challenging champion Oscar Piastri more closely: all eight of his podiums, which included two wins, came in the final 17 races.
Still hopeful of making the F1 grid in the coming years, Shwartzman will spend 2022 as an F1 test driver for Ferrari.
