British F3: Runners and riders
With most of the class of 2008 moving on, it's another year of fresh blood in British F3. Ben Anderson takes you through the grid of drivers all looking for their first F3 victory ahead of this weekend's season opener
Carlin Motorsport (Dallara-Volkswagen)
#1 Max Chilton (GB)
Age: 17
2008 season: 10th in British F3
Chilton may not be old enough to legally purchase alcohol, but he is a relative granddad when it comes to F3 racing, having made his debut at Donington in 2007 at the tender age of 16. He had a habit of going backwards in races last year after strong qualifying performances. Now entering his third season, Chilton has a chance to put that right after a switch from Hitech to top team Carlin.
#2 Henry Arundel (GB)
Age: 21
2008 season: 15th in British F3
After a difficult debut season with Double R last year, this royal racer (he is an Earl) heads into his second season of F3 with the championship's top team. Third place in the 2007 Formula BMW UK series carried him to the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award final, but he has so far struggled to show that sort of pedigree in F3. This year, there can be no excuses.
