Wickens joins Carlin at Hockenheim

Robert Wickens will rejoin the Carlin team this weekend, at the Hockenheim round of the 2009 Cooper Tires British F3 Series. The Canadian raced with Carlin in last year’s Formula Renault 3.5 championship and will make his debut in British F3 this weekend with the multiple championship winning squad. Wickens will be racing alongside the team’s regular racers of Daniel Ricciardo, Max Chilton and Henry Arundel, all of whom have finished on the podium in the first six rounds of the 2009 season.

Carlin’s British F3 team have already taken three wins, four pole positions and six podium finishes from just six rounds. Red Bull racer Daniel Ricciardo currently leads the championship, despite a disappointing weekend last time out at Rockingham. The 19 year-old Australian racer crashed out whilst fighting for the lead in race one at Rockingham and finished fifth in race two.
