Mercedes junior driver Paul Aron is making a return to Prema Powerteam in the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship.
Estonian driver Aron joined the Mercedes programme in 2019 as a 15-year-old after his 2018 European Junior Karting Championship win impressed the Silver Arrows’ bosses.
Aron raced for Prema in both the 2019 German and Italian Formula 4 Championships, finishing seventh and third respectively.
Last year, he made the move to Formula Renault Eurocup, racing with ART Grand Prix, and missed out on the top 10 in the Drivers’ Championship by a matter of 27 points.
The Eurocup has merged with the Formula Regional European Championship ahead of the 2021 season and it is there that he will again represent Prema.
