Young Sri Lankan driver Yevan David is set to make his Monaco debut this weekend as the FIA Formula 3 Championship resumes after its opening round in Melbourne.

Driving for AIX Racing, the 18-year-old enters the iconic street race after testing at the Red Bull Ring, simulator preparation, and time spent balancing his racing programme with A-Level examinations.

David, the first Sri Lankan to compete in FIA Formula 3, said Monaco is one of motorsport’s biggest challenges due to its narrow layout, limited overtaking opportunities and high track evolution.

“Confidence and precision are just as important as outright speed,” David said, adding that he had focused heavily on simulator work ahead of the weekend.

The Monaco round runs from June 4 to 7, with the Sprint Race on Saturday and Feature Race on Sunday, according to the FIA Formula 3 calendar.

David will also race with a special helmet tribute to Ayrton Senna, whose Monaco performances remain among the most famous in Formula 1 history.
