Hitech Pulse-Eight retain Martinius Stenshorne for 2025 Formula 3 season

Hitech Pulse-Eight have confirmed that Martinius Stenshorne will be staying with the team for a second season of FIA Formula 3 in 2025.

Stenshorne returns to F3 after a strong rookie campaign in which he achieved one victory in the Melbourne Sprint Race before adding another podium in the Barcelona Sprint. The Norwegian driver ended the year 18th in the Drivers’ Championship.

Prior to that he finished second in the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine and seventh in the 2022 Italian F4 Championship.

The McLaren Development driver will now return for a second season of F3 with Hitech, and he is keen to help the team challenge on both fronts in 2025.

“I’m really happy and excited to be entering my second season of FIA Formula 3 and with Hitech," said Stenshorne. "2024 was a strong first year in the championship and we achieved some good results that also contributed to the team being able to fight for both titles – something I hope we will see again next season. I’m looking forward to getting down to work with the new car in the new year.”

Hitech Team Manager Paul Bellringer added: "I’m delighted to confirm that Martinius will continue with us for the 2025 campaign. In only his first year on the international stage – one of the most competitive seasons F3 has ever seen – he punctuated his obvious potential with a win in the second round, a podium, and he was regularly in the fight for points.

“When the field is as tight as it was last season, it can be difficult for strong performances to translate to the standings, but within the team, Martinius’ progress was clear for all to see and I feel confident that he will really make his mark in a second season of F3.”
