That is right, Yevan David is already locking in his future. The Sri Lankan driver has officially signed with Van Amersfoort Racing for the 2027 FIA Formula 3 campaign, and he is feeling more motivated than ever for what lies ahead.
Following his first days of on-track running with the squad during post-season testing in Barcelona, David made his feelings crystal clear. Calling it one of the most complete years he has had in a long time, the driver expressed absolute excitement about linking up with the team for 2027. He highlighted the incredible calendar waiting for them, pointing specifically to new tracks like Jeddah, Montreal, and Istanbul as major highlights.
There is already a strong bond forming inside the garage. David praised the diverse personalities within the outfit, giving a special shoutout to his mechanics, Patrick and Thomas from Scandinavia, alongside his engineer, Daniel from the UK. With so much in common and a genuinely great energy pulsing through the crew, the setup feels right.
Crucially, he will not be stepping into next season blind. Armed with a full year of F3 experience under his belt, David knows how vital that background will be. From understanding how sessions evolve over a race weekend to nailing a qualifying lap under intense pressure, he believes knowing what to expect is a massive double bonus compared to stumbling through a rookie campaign.
Having already tasted a maiden podium in F3, the ambition for 2027 is simple and direct: winning. It is the first thing on his mind when he wakes up and the last thing before he sleeps. Rather than obsessing over raw qualifying lap times, his entire off-season is mapped out to the minute. Think relentless simulator sessions at home and at the factory, heavy video analysis of this year's races, and mastering the art of staying ice-cold under pressure.
With the final post-season test wrapped up in Barcelona, the hard work starts now. If dedication counts for anything, this machine and driver pairing is leaving nothing to chance.
