A race winner in Japan, Sacha Fenestraz is aiming to become the first overseas title winner in Super Formula since 2019. 📝 JamieKlein_ caught up with the ex-Renault junior ⬇️
Sacha Fenestraz is far from the first driver to have moved to Japan after running out of opportunities in Europe, and he won’t be the last either. But, after scoring his first win in Super Formula in June’s Sugo round, it’s safe to say that the move is working out.
Indeed, this chat with Fenestraz in Dubai airport – by complete accident, Autosport booked the same flight back to Europe as the subject of this interview – would have been unthinkable this time a year ago, when the now 22-year-old was able to do little more than wait to be allowed back into Japan. It was a wait that ended up taking the best part of nine painful months.
“It’s also partly down to me making a lot of meetings between races and pushing the team to share more information. In 2020, it felt like two one-car teams; the engineers didn’t share anything between them. I really tried to change that. Fenestraz made a serious effort to learn the local lingo in his debut season, but during his exile last year it was understandable that his zest for studying Japanese dwindled. Help arrived at the start of 2022 in the form of Japanese racing veteran Michael Krumm, who is able to act as a bridge and allow Fenestraz to focus on what really matters: driving.
