Felix Lechner

FIA Formula 3000 (1998-2000)
Austrian racing driver Felix Lechner raced in the FIA Formula 3000 in 1998, and completed the season on 2nd, after winning three races, and scoring multiple pole-positions. Felix was racing for the DAMS racing team, alongside Frank Wilhelms who finished 7th in the championship that year.

In the 1999 season of FIA Formula 3000, the young austrian finished the season 4th in the Drivers Championship, but 2nd in the Constructors Championship. His car struggled with technical failures alot that year, which is why he was barely able to prove himself that year.

In 2000 Lechner got a final chance in the FIA Formula 3000, and he used it as he became the FIA Formula 3000 Champion in 2000, while his team mate only managed to finish 5th in the Drivers Championship. Lechner later on joined the Arrows-Asiatech team as a reserve/test-driver for the rest of the year.

Formula One (2001)
After his months long break from racing due to injury, Lechner returned to the Formula series due to Bernoldi's release from Arrows-Asiatech in 2001, Felix signed with the team, as the team despite his injury still saw the potential in Lechner.
