ART Grand Prix is excited to announce the extension of its partnership with Alpine Academy driver Victor Martins as he continues to defend its colors in the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2024.
Victor won his first international crown with ART Grand Prix in 2020 with a total of 7 victories, 14 podiums, 10 pole positions and 8 fastest laps out of 20 races in the Formula Renault Eurocup. From there he won a second title with the French based squad when in 2022 he became the first F3 champion in the modern era in the company’s history.
Victor continued his brilliant form in the next step on the ladder, F2, in the 2023 season by securing 1 victory, 10 podiums, three pole positions and winning the title of best rookie, which was given in tribute to Anthoine Hubert.
Victor Martins:
“Together with ART Grand Prix, we have a mutual past that is made up of passion and success, one which has seen the crowning of several titles. I hope to add another in 2024, a decisive season for my development. But I will not have my eyes solely focused on the standings: I want to correct mistakes from last year, manage the championship over time and always strive to obtain the best possible result, whether the circumstances are favorable or complicated. There is no shortage of serious competitors in this discipline. There is also an element of unknowns with a new car, but I trust ART Grand Prix to make the most out of it. The team supplies me with all the support I need, just like Alpine, and I am holding all the cards I need to achieve my objectives.”
Sébastien Philippe:
“The collaboration between ART Grand Prix and Victor dates back to 2020 when he was successfully crowned the Formula Renault champion. We did a good job and have grown together since then. Therefore, I didn’t envisage not continuing our adventure with him. His first year in Formula 2 was very good and very informative. It allowed him to constantly fight for pole positions and victories. In 2024, our common objective will logically be to erase any small mistakes from last season and win the title.”
