“Team principal Oliver Oakes brought me to Europe a few years back and I saw Hitech in the early days,” said Armstrong. “Since then it’s transformed into one of the powerhouses of Formula 2 and 3. I’m looking forward to be working with a successful group of people and a completely new team this year.” – he added
Marcus Armstrong’s move leaves five vacancies remaining on the 22-car grid for the opening race at Bahrain in March.
