BLOC MAGAZINE WINTER 18-19

Jamie, it’s been 12 months since our last Q&A, HOW DID THE SEASON GO? It’s been another crazy year. I’ve just finished my second season in British Formula 3, this year racing for Douglas Motorsport. I got my first win in this series which was a big highlight for me, and I also raced in the infamous Nurbur- gring 24 Hour race with Aston Martin Racing which was an- other big tick off the bucket list! You mentioned some good results, surely none more so than becoming the first female winner of a Formula 3 race? Of course. That was the one we’ve been working towards. We felt we had the pace all season but a few things always seemed to go against us, so to finally get that win at Brands Hatch was an incredible feel- ing and one I was so happy and proud to share with my team. You are certainly due a rest, any plans for the off season? The off season is actually the most crucial time for drivers and often when Champion- ships are won or lost. For this reason I’m going to be spend- ing some time racing in Asia in the MRF Series. It consists of three events over the next few months, with five races at each event. I’m still relatively new to single seater racing so extra time in the car will be invalua- ble for the 2019 season. On top of that I am going to be heading to Saudi Arabia in December for my debut Formula E test.
