Charlie Wurz: From mountain running to Formula 3 - a new chapter begins!
19-year-old Charlie Wurz, son of former Formula 1 driver Alexander Wurz, is showing promising performances in motorsport. Since moving to Tam Trident for the new Formula 3 season, he has also demonstrated his skills in other disciplines. In his mountain running debut, Wurz took 31st place at the “Trail du Mon Angel” in Monaco and secured second place in his age group. He proudly shared his experiences on Instagram, while Valtteri Bottas alluded to the pain in his legs with a pointed comment: "So? Do your legs hurt?" Wurz's direct answer gave an idea of the struggles of the competition: "Not good. Like bricks." This shows that despite the challenges in various sports, the young athlete never loses his love for competition, like Laola1 reported.
A dream of Formula 1
The hunt for a successful career in the Formula 1 world never ends for Charlie Wurz. Despite a bumpy first half of the season in Formula 3, where he only scored one point in Australia, the Austrian racing star remains positive. “Formula 1 is always my dream,” he emphasized in the interview. With a solid performance in the upcoming home race in Spielberg, he hopes to return to the top 10 and have more chances of success. “Sometimes you have to be a little lucky,” Wurz joked, pointing out that the competition in Formula 3 is very close, like that The press reported.
The young driver is combative and has great potential to compete for a top team next season. “Then you have to fight for the championship,” he explains, referring to his goals. Wurz currently sees his Jenzer Motorsport team as a springboard to talk to sponsors, as the annual cost of Formula 3 is an impressive 1.5 million euros. In addition, another challenge could soon arise for father Alexander if Charlie's 16-year-old brother Oscar also starts in Formula 4, with the same big goal in mind: Formula 1. "Maybe we'll drive together one day," said Charlie optimistically, leaving open the possibility that both brothers will one day be together in major sport.
