F3 Spa winner Voisin: “There’s still more to come. This isn’t us at 100%”

Rodin Motorsport’s Callum Voisin was ecstatic after convincingly winning a safety car-filled Formula 3 feature race at a damp Spa-Francorchamps, and promised that “there’s still more to come”.

He finished first on-the-road in the Silverstone feature race, but a 10-second time penalty demoted him to third, meaning he had to wait a few more weeks for his maiden win.

“We controlled the race pretty well,” Voisin told Formula Scout in the Spa paddock. “Obviously, it was an extremely tricky race. A lot of wet parts. T1, T5 in particular. Made a few mistakes. I think everybody did, to be fair. But the car was really fast. I felt very good in sector two. So that’s kind of what helped me get away from the DRS many times, or suddenly got away from the pressure of Sebastian [Montoya] behind me.

“Extremely happy, especially after what happened in Silverstone. Now we’ve got it properly on merit. From pole, lights-to-flag, more or less. It can’t be much better.”

Voisin went wide at La Source on lap two, momentarily losing the lead to Campos Racing’s Montoya. But he immediately regained it on the way down to Eau Rouge, and from then on went unchallenged despite three safety car restarts.

“I was trying to be aggressive to build as much tyre temperature as possible,” he explained. And it did work for most of the [opening] lap. Then I got back around to T1 and locked up everything, went straight on. Luckily, I got a very good exit, naturally, just because of the wider trajectory. That was quite lucky, to be fair. It was touch and go whether I would have got back past and stuff. Overall, can’t be too displeased. Still, the rest of it was pretty good.

The Briton felt “quite fast at the start”, so he “could have built quite a nice gap” had the safety car not been out at the end of lap two.

“Every time I’d get, I don’t know, a second gap after one or two laps, and then there’d be a safety car. It was a little bit frustrating, but then on the other hand it gave them fewer opportunities to make a move. So I guess it’s 50/50 really whether we wanted more safety cars or fewer. But it’s nice that we finished under the green flag.”

Voisin endured a “tricky” start to his 2024 campaign. He acknowledged that “we were probably a bit underprepared” mainly due to the lack of testing. It took him seven rounds to score, but he now amasses six consecutive points finishes that have lifted him to 10th place in the standings.

“It’s getting better and better every time. I’m learning new things every time. So there’s still more to come,” he emphasised.

“This isn’t us at 100% yet. We’ve still got a few things to work on. But in general it is much better and it’s nice to see that it’s finally paying off.”
