Marcus Armstrong recalls a younger version of himself storming into his team awning after his first ever go-kart race. Red-faced and filled with anger and disappointment in himself, he shouted: âJean Todt and Ron Dennis are never going to be watching me!â The young Kiwi had just finished in sixth: it was clear from the start he was never going to settle for less than his best.
Formula 1 bosses may not have been watching then, but they must be watching now. The DAMS driver is speaking ahead of his second Formula 2 season, dressed head-to-toe in the official kit of Todtâs former team, Ferrari. Heâs been a member of their academy for over four years.
