It is a “homecoming” that can only be good for both parties. Clement Novalak was announced today by the Trident team to contest the upcoming Formula 3 season.
The French driver had already dressed the colors of the Italian team in 2021, when he closed the season in Formula 3 in third place and contributed decisively, together with Jack Doohan, to Trident’s conquest of the title reserved for teams.
Novalak thus changes the air for his second year in Formula 2. The Frenchman, needless to deny it, had a negative 2022 season, especially when compared to that of his teammate Felipe Drugovich.
If the Brazilian, a veteran of the series, was the authentic star performer of the season, the Frenchman was often anonymous.
Felipe closed the championship with a total of 265 points, while Novalak just 40. Drugovich won the drivers’ title and contributed decisively to the success in the championship reserved for MP Motorsport teams, while the transalpine struggled a lot in adapting to the new reality.
“I am extremely happy to return to Trident” said Novalak. successes”.
Giacomo Ricci, team principal of the team, underlined his satisfaction with the return of Novalak.
“We are proud to welcome Clément Novalak back into our family. He is a driver of undeniable and undisputed value who has done really well with Trident in Formula 3 reaching third position in the 2021 championship”.
“Novalak brings with him a year of experience in Formula 2 and I’m sure he will be able to make an important contribution to the team.”
