after winning 3 championships in 2016, lando was looking for an f3 seat. he wanted to race for prema and even tested with them, but they ended up rejecting him. instead, he signed with carlin and he went on to win the championship, ending prema's 5 year streak and dominating with:
• 9 wins
• 20/30 podiums
• 8 poles
• 441 points
• title secured with 2 races to go
• 58 points ahead of the highest placed prema driver
• top rookie
prema had the streak, carlin had lando 💚
