Christian Mansell Confirms FIA Formula 3 Return For 2024

Australian rising star Christian Mansell will return for a second season in the FIA Formula 3 Championship next year, continuing his exciting partnership with ART Grand Prix for his sophomore campaign.

Mansell was a revelation in his debut F3 season this year, producing some eye-catching performances on his way to a pair of podium finishes at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, alongside regular top ten finishes.

The 18-year-old’s phenomenal charge through the field from 23rd to 2nd in the Spa feature race was recognised during the recent 2023 prize giving ceremony, as he received the Dallara Award for Best Comeback of the Year.

In recent months, Mansell has teamed up with ART Grand Prix for all three post-season F3 tests and an exciting debut in the Macau Grand Prix. Immediately feeling at home with the French team, he’s excited to see what they can achieve together next year.

Christian Mansell: "I’m super happy to sign with ART Grand Prix for the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season. I’m looking forward to working with the team to achieve better results in the Teams’ Championship and for myself as a driver next year. 

“I’ve already competed in Macau with the team, so I'm very well integrated into the ART Grand Prix group, and I could not be happier. I’m really excited to start this new journey and I’m eagerly anticipating the first race in Bahrain!"

ART Team Principal Sébastien Philippe: "Christian has shown he has a good ability to learn and progress with a strong second half of the 2023 season. He confirmed his qualities to the team during the off-season tests and in Macau. In 2024, he will have everything he needs to blossom and achieve both his goals as well as those of the team.”

In 2023, Mansell raced with the support of AJM Transport, Castrol, Vawdrey Trailers, VISA Global Logistics, Infinity Sports Management, IOR Petroleum, Locker 27 and AMSL Diabetes Australia.
