JAKARTA - Indonesian Formula 2 racer Sean Gelael will experience the real racing atmosphere again. It has been more than 100 days that Sean has been unable to deploy his land jet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As is known, the Formula 2 race will start at the Red Bull Ring Circuit, Austria, this weekend. Of course the races will be conducted with strict health protocols. Sean, who is now defending the DAMS team, is getting ready.

"The long wait is over. I am happy to finally have the assurance that I can race again with the DAMS team, which in my opinion is very good preparation," said Sean in his official statement.
"I am happy because this first series is on a circuit where I have a lot of sweet memories, Red Bull Ring," continued the racer who takes shelter in the Chicken Jagonya Team.
The Red Bull Ring circuit does have a sweet moment for Sean. The 23-year-old racer made his second podium finish in 2016. This season, he is excited to get back on the podium. Moreover, DAMS has the power to manage tire usage, the biggest problem he faced while racing at the Red Bull Ring last season.
Tires can be a challenge for Sean. Moreover, this season, the F2 race will use a new type of tire, the 18-inch Pirelli. These tires have been used intensively during pre-season tests in Bahrain, but will be used in the race this weekend.
The following is the complete schedule for the Austrian Forkula 2 race at the Red Bull Ring Circuit, this weekend:
