Max Fewtrell says the “awesome” thought of landing a fut🌞ure Formula 1 drive with Renault keeps him motivated&nbꦅsp;to succeed in 2019.

The reigning Formula Renault Eurocup champion h🅷as been retained on the French manufacturer’s junior roster for a third successive year and will step up🎐 to the new F1-supporting FIA F3 Series for the upcoming season with leading single-seater outfit ART Grand Prix. 

Renault has 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:targeted promotingಞ o🤪ne of its young drivers into an F1 race seat by 2021 t🅠hough a spot could open up earlier, with Nico Hulkenberg’s deal running to the end of 2019, while new signing Daniel Ricciardo has penned a two-year contract. 

Asked by mahbx.com how📖 much the prospect of a Renault F1 drive plays on his mind, Fewtrell said: “I don’t think about it throughout the year but I might think of it when I’m sat at home and it’s a great feeling. 

"It really does keep m𝄹e motivated in the gym, just to think there is a seat, tꦅhere is an opportunity and that’s why I’m here. 

“That’s why they [Renault] have signed me 𒊎because they believe in me. It’s a distant thought, I don’t focus on it too much I just focus on the job at hand but it’s awesome to think that it is a possibility.” 

Fewtrell is now the most senior Renault Sport Academy mem꧅ber after Jack Aitken, who carried out reserve dri🐬ver duties with the F1 team last year and took part in both in-season tests, was not named as part of the programme for 2019. 

Aitken finished 11th in F2 last year - s𒅌coring one victory - and has made the switch from ART to Campo𓆏s, though Renault has not announced whether he will remain part of its F1 line-up, while it also remains to be seen if 2018 test and development driver Artem Markelov will have any role at the Enstone outfit. 

Team executive director Marcin Budkowski sai🌠d Renault will reveal which drivers will conduct the two in-season tests in 2019 at the French manufacturer’s launch of its new F1 challenger next moꦛnth. 

“For me jumping in a𝔉n 🍬F1 car is still a dream right now,” Fewtrell added. 

“But I do feel like I could get in a car and do a good job and have a good productive day. I think it would be awesome.&nbsಞp;

“It’s just a dream come tr🎃ue to sit in an F1 car and do laps, so that thought is still crazy in my mind. 

"I think if I just keep my head down, focus and perform hopefully the performance will bring some rewar💟ds and I do believe that maybe, something might happen.”
