HWA RACELAB has taken the next step on the road to the team's first race in the FIA Formula 3 Championship. Drivers Bent Viscaal (NED), Jake Hughes (GBR) and Keyvan Andres (IRN) gained more valuable experience during the two-day test at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

With six races behind them, the new team from Affalterbach's record at the halfway point of the season is a mixed bag: Despite a number of set-backs, Gary Paffett and Stoffel Vandoorne both have points to their name and are looking ahead with confidence to the race in the Italian capital.
