Hitech GP’s Reece Ushijima and Chris Dittmann Racing’s Ayrton Simmons were the winners on Sunday at Silverstone, after an entertaining pair of races at the home of the British Grand Prix. Japanese driver Ushijima claimed his second victory of the weekend with another dominant display in race one, while Simmons salvaged glory from a difficult weekend in the reverse grid race three. 

Chris Dittmann Racing’s Ayrton Simmons had a near-perfect start to the 2021 BRDC British F3 Championship, claiming a double pole in qualifying and converting his grid position to victory in the first race of the year. Simmons finished just over a second clear of debutants Ollie Bearman (Fortec) and Zak O’Sullivan (Carlin) in this afternoon’s season opener to take an early championship lead following lights to flag victory.

Bart Horsten will return to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship in 2021, switching to Hitech GP for what will also be the team's second year in the series. The 17-year-old returns for another year in the UK's single-seater championship after a strong maiden campaign in 2020. Horsten claimed three podium finishes on his way to tenth overall in last year's final standings.
 

British F4 race winner Christian Mansell will graduate to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship this year with Carlin. The Australian, who won a race on his way to seventh in British F4, will stay with the Surrey based team with which he competed last season. Mansell's year in F4 included a victory at Brands Hatch in addition to four additional podium finishes.
 

Douglas Motorsport and Ulysse De Pauw will continue their blossoming partnership in 2020, with the Belgian ace returning to the team for a second season in the BRDC British F3 Championship.
