How Red Bull’s next British star earned a fast-track to F3
“It’s early morning in Portugal as a 13-year-old English boy, ready for a day of karting, sits with his father. The phone rings, and it’s a call from ‘Graz, Austria.’ This call leads to a meeting with Helmut from Red Bull at the Portuguese Grand Prix, resulting in the lad joining the Red Bull program.

Oliver Rowland, a mentor to the young driver, also played a role in getting him noticed by Red Bull.”
