Tobias Hegewald returns to F2 after a season competing in the
inaugural GP3 championship, where poor luck and misfortune struck
frequently, preventing him from displaying his true talent.
This was not the case in 2009, when he shone in the equal
environment of F2. The young German finished sixth overall in the
championship with three podiums, and the highlight of the season
was undoubtedly his dominant performance at Spa-Francorchamps.
Remarkably, he was fastest in both practice sessions, both
qualifying sessions and won both races, recording the fastest lap
in each. He collected nine points finishes in total, and a third
place at Donington Park.
Before competing in F2 Tobias competed in Formula Palmer Audi,
Formula BMW USA and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup,
taking five poles and three wins in the 2009 season.
