Affalterbach, 14th October 2020 - BWT HWA RACELAB can call upon the services of another top talent for the climax to the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship. Formula 3 runner-up Théo Pourchaire (France) will be at the wheel of the number 17 car at the final two race weekends in Sakhir (Bahrain). Pourchaire will occupy the free cockpit, after Giuliano Alesi (France) switched teams.

The 17-year-old has already won many titles in his burgeoning motorsport career. After winning several national karting championships in France and taking third place in the 2016 Karting World Championship, he made his debut in Formula racing at the age of 15, and again immediately enjoyed success. In 2018, he comfortably won the Junior title in the French Formula 4 series. One year later, he triumphed in four races on his way to winning the ADAC Formula 4 title. The member of the Sauber Academy switched to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2020 and took his place on the podium after only his fourth race in the series. In Spielberg, this July, Pourchaire became the youngest Formula 3 winner ever. He won again at the Hungaroring and ended the season as the runner-up in the championship.

BWT HWA RACELAB will complete its first season as an independent team in Formula 2 in Sakhir. The races at Bahrain International Circuit will be held on back-to-back weekends, on 28th/29th November and 5th/6th December.
