F3 driver Van Hoepen ever closer to his big dream: 'I know I'm good'

By now Laurens van Hoepen (18) has got used to it, but he still finds it ‘cool’. “When you’re sitting here talking like this, hearing a sound and suddenly a Formula 1 car passes by,” says the only Dutch Formula 3 driver at the minute, fully working on his dream of one day also being inside one of those passing Formula 1 cars. Next weekend at Monza, he will finish his first season in F3, realising that that big dream is getting closer and closer.
