Stanek who was born in Valasske Mezirici went on to iterate that his two seasons in F3 so far will benefit him as he added: “In my first two seasons in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, I’ve grown up constantly, and I am sure that with Trident Motorsport, we will have all the components needed to compete at a high level.”
