Formula 4 driver Antonio Astuti to contest S5000 at Australian Grand Prix

Australian junior Antonio Astuti has announced that he will contest the S5000 championship debut at the Australian Grand Prix next week.

The Victorian placed fourth in the 2019 Australian Formula 4 championship, which was ultimately won by Luis Leeds. Leeds will contest the 2020 S5000 championship with AGI sport.

Astuti said “I’m over the moon to announce that I’ll be racing at the F1 Australian Grand Prix next week in S5000! Extremely excited to be driving such an awesome car around such an awesome circuit.”

“This was a very last minute opportunity however there is still time to be onboard with me for such a spectacular event."

“Last year’s event was amazing, being one of the fastest drivers all weekend, taking home a spectacular race win and only just being denied a round win after getting taken out in race three! I am more determined than ever to stand on the top step of the podium after being so close last year.”
