Affalterbach, 22nd January 2021 - FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 races will once again share the bill with the Formula 1 World Championship in 2021. There will, however, be one change, from which HWA RACELAB is set to benefit: FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 will hold their races on different weekends this season. This makes it possible to field one driver in both series. Matteo Nannini is one driver who will take on double driving duties. The 17-year-old will have the opportunity to gain as much experience as possible within HWA's Formula 1 talent development programme.

The nephew of former Formula 1 Grand Prix winner, Alessandro Nannini, has already completed his first drives in the HWA RACELAB Formula 2 car. Back in December 2020 he represented the team at the post-season Formula 2 tests in Sakhir (Bahrain).

Alessio Deledda has spent the past two years driving for Campos Racing in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, and is now stepping up to the more powerful cars in FIA Formula 2. While the Formula 3 cars have 380 hp, the cars in Formula 2 take to the track with a mighty 620 hp. Alessio started his professional motorsport career in motorcycle racing, and appeared in the Italian Supersport 600 championship in 2017. In 2018, he switched to Formula racing and started in the Italian Formula 4 series.

HWA RACELAB will use the official pre-season tests, from 9th to 11th March in Sakhir (Bahrain), to prepare for the 2021 FIA Formula 2 Championship. The season gets underway from 26th to 28th March - again in Sakhir, where the first three of the 24-race 2021 season will take place.
