Bruno Michel plays a crucial role in fostering young racing talent, aiming to guide aspiring racers towards Formula 1, similar to a mentor inspiring youth in sports or education.
By overseeing Formula 2 and Formula 3, Michel is entrusted with creating a competitive environment that prepares drivers for potential careers in Formula 1, embodying the concept of sowing seeds for future growth without necessarily reaping the benefits himself.
Past F2 champions like Lando Norris, George Russell, Oscar Piastri, and Charles Leclerc have successfully transitioned to Formula 1, showcasing the effectiveness of Michel’s developmental programs.
Michel acknowledges the fluctuating nature of driver opportunities and the challenges of securing Formula 1 seats, emphasizing the need for both talent and available openings in the sport.
His keen eye for budding talent is evident in drivers like Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, who aim to make their mark on the racing world after honing their skills in lower categories under Michel’s guidance.
