Wickens to run Euro F3 series

Team Kolles & Heinz Union, a newcomer on the 2009 Formula 3 Euro Series grid, now has signed a driver for its second Dallara-Volkswagen single-seater: Robert Wickens will contest the 2009 season as team-mate of Dutchman Carlo van Dam.

Robert Wickens is going to contest his first full Formula 3 Euro Series season but has competed in some of last year’s races. From the Pau weekend he replaced previous Signature-Plus driver Stefano Coletti. His best results: the win at Le Mans and a runner-up finish at Nuremberg’s Norisring. In the end, he finished 15th in the Championship and secured sixth position in the rookie ranking despite having entered the season late.
