My Prediction for the Future

This has been a long time coming, I first became aware of Jazeman as ‘a fifteen year old kid, who has dominated in Formula BMW Asia back in 2007. Since his move to Europe and during two Formula BMW Europe and two British Formula Three seasons he looked as if he was going to be another driver to reach Formula Three level and then not have the success to move on.

Then came 2012, when he won his first British Formula Three races, and finished second in the championship, as his experience has grown over the last five seasons he has got better and better, and now he is moving on to World Series by Renault with the top Carlin team, and showing the potential Malaysia’s best ever driver (I know some people would say that would not be hard, but look at Alex Yoong’s results outside Formula One – he was not actually that bad).
