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. However, being a Ferrari Driver Academy Member would be the most important aspect of his career.
Ferrari’s driver academy is where Charles rose from and got his entry into F1, a path Arthur will like to follow as well if he possesses the same potential as his elder brother. It has been a long time since we’ve seen a brother duo race in Formula 1. And Arthur can make this possible.

“Arthur knows I’m there for any personal things he needs. But when it comes to racing, I prefer to let him find his own way and to make progress on his own, which I think is very important in this sport,” said Charles.

Charles is not influencing his racing career, but he is always there to help Arthur with his experience. This is a brotherly relationship we would like to see blossom on the track as well in the future.
