Bruno Michel’s role as chief executive of Formula 2 and Formula 3 involves creating an environment for young drivers to develop and potentially transition to Formula 1.
His focus is on fostering competitive championships that aid driver development and readiness for the challenges of F1, as demonstrated by past F2 champions like Lando Norris and George Russell.
Michel acknowledges the variability in opportunities within F1 and the significance of the lower categories in grooming future talents for the sport.
While some drivers, like Gabriel Bortoleto, quickly rise through the ranks, others may take longer to mature and secure a place in Formula 1 due to various factors beyond talent alone.
Michel and his team aim to identify and support promising drivers who show potential to succeed at the highest level of motorsport, despite the uncertainties and challenges of the racing world.
