Adrien Tambay joins the Formula BMW ranksYet another son of a famous Formula One driver is about to emerge on the single seater scene.
Adrien Tambay is the 16-year-old son of former McLaren and Ferrari driver Patrick Tambay, the Frenchman who won two Grand Prix in
his 123-race career in the 70s and 80s.
Adrien, an accomplished karter, will make his single seater debut this weekend in the opening round of the Formula BMW Deutschland series at Oschersleben.
Part of BMW's exclusive Young Driver Scholarship Programme, Tambay will race in 2007 for JK Racing, the current champions who powered names including Nico Rosberg and Adrian Sutil to past title success.
The series' Nurburgring round in July will support F1's German Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, one of Adrien Tambay's rivals in karts last year, we have learned, was Bas Lammers, the son of Dutch former F1 driver Jan.
