The world of motorsport is going through hours of deep sorrow following the news of the passing of Zdeněk Chovanec, a 21-year-old driver who competed alongside Franco Colapinto in Formula 3. The news caused great shock within the international motorsport community.

Chovanec, born in Venezuela with Czech roots and a sporting representative of Portugal, competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, where he shared the category with the Argentine driver.

The death of the young driver once again brings mourning to motorsport and has prompted expressions of sadness from teams, institutions, and fellow drivers who shared the track with him throughout his career.
