Newly-promoted F2 driver Koolen has a goal: 'Formula 1 is my dream'

Niels Koolen failed to make a lasting impression in his first Formula 2 weekend. Barely a week after AIX Racing appointed the Dutchman (23) to replace Taylor Barnard (who has moved to Formula E), he made his debut in Monza with two last-place finishes. But Koolen will not let that put him off. In Baku, in just under two weeks’ time, he will get a second chance to convince the German team to keep him on after that.
