2020 was the year Arthur started walking in Charles’s footsteps by becoming a part of the Ferrari Driver Academy. The Monegasque competed in the Formula Regional European Championship, a competition certified by FIA, and finished second. And in 2021 he came into Formula 3, where he still competes as a driver for Prema Racing. Arthur has also won the Formula Regional Asian Championship.
