Nikita Bedrin starts with Jenzer Motorsport in the FIA F3 Championship

FIA F3

With Nikita Bedrin we announce the second rookie of this year's driver line-up after Alejandro Garcia.

Nikita Bedrin is a very young racer at 17 years old. His sporting career led from successes in karting to formula racing, which he began in 2021 in the UAE. This was followed by a double program in the German ADAC and Italian FIA F4 championships in 2021 and 2022. In 2022 he finished fourth overall in the German ADAC FIA F4 Championship. He will start the 2023 season in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and from there go straight into the FIA F3 Championship with Jenzer Motorsport.

Nikita said: „I'm very happy to have the opportunity to drive in the FIA F3 Championship! It is a big and important step. I'm ready to accept the challenge and make the most of it! I want to say a big thank you to PHM Racing for making it possible for me to drive at Jenzer Motorsport and for giving me this chance and believing in me. I can't wait to start and I'm really looking forward to it!“

Andreas Jenzer: „Nikita is young, talented and ambitious. We will work with him on his consistency and think he can surprise with very good results. In the post-season test in Jerez last autumn, he already did well with the powerful FIA F3 racing machine, which was new to him. We are looking forward to the season with him and are happy to start soon.“
