Alex Dunn: My goal is Formula 1

      McLaren Youth Program participant and Formula 2 leader Alex Damm may continue his career in Formula E, but he dreams of Formula 1, where there are currently no vacancies for him...

      Alex Damm: "My goal remains the same. I want to race in Formula 1, I want to be a Formula 1 driver.

      Formula E has proven multiple times that it is a strong championship with strong drivers. This year, I had the opportunity to become a reserve driver for McLaren in Formula E, and I am satisfied with that, but my main goal and primary focus are solely on Formula 1.

      In Austria, I was surprised by how quickly I adapted to the Formula 1 car during Friday's practice. Doing so proved to be easier than getting back behind the wheel of a Formula 2 car afterward.

      Of course, the approach to driving is a bit different; Formula 1 has excellent grip with the track. For a driver like me, who doesn't get behind the wheel every week, it might seem that the car has unlimited potential. Once I got into the car, I immediately felt much more confident and comfortable than I expected, and I adapted much faster than I could have imagined."
