In March this year, Xie Yonglin drove the No. 16 F3 car of Hitech for the first time, making his debut in the Melbourne opening match. At that time, the Chinese star was ready to meet the challenges of driving a new car and a new event and move towards a new peak in his racing career.
In the next three months, Xie Yonglin went on a tour of Bahrain, Imora, Monaco and Barcelona. Among these five races, the last three races were the "three consecutive races" staged on three consecutive weekends, which shows the intensity of the competition.
Although Xie Yonglin has no experience with these unprecedented tracks, he can still overcome bad weather, fight tire recession, and face difficult competition challenges. He has significantly improved his ranking in almost every game.
Xie Yonglin has shown his strength in the early stages of the season. In the Australian tournament, he climbed 9 places in the sprint competition and finally finished 16th place. He also successfully improved 7 places in the following main competition and completed 18th place. In the sprint match of Bahrain, he climbed up to 10 places at one time, ranking 17th in the highest place and finally finished 21st.
Another highlight of the first half of this year is the performance of the Chinese driver at Monaco, which carries the dream he has embraced since he was a child. There, he showed his tenacious fighting spirit and worked hard to climb 9 places in the sprint match to finish the competition.
The schedule comes to the second half, Xie Yonglin switches to the track he is more familiar with and steadily improves his performance in the last five sub-stations. Finally, this weekend at Monza, Italy, the season of this year was completed for the 10-season competitions this year.
Similar, Xie Yonglin once again showed his strong ability to surpass his opponents: in the Austrian stage, he climbed 7 and 12 places in the sprint match and the main match, and in the sprint match at Spa, Belgium, he rose 6 places. Xie Yonglin also ushered in another highlight of his personal second half of the season at the Hungarian Station in August.
In this penultimate game, Xie Yonglin's efforts and efforts in all rounds in most of the previous seasons finally achieved results, and he also set two personal best records.
First of all the 30 drivers gathered with masters, Xie Yonglin won the 4th place in the season to complete the qualifying race. Then in the sprint match, he finished the game with excellent results of 10th. This is not only his first entry into the top ten in the F3 Championship, but also his first point of the season.
Although it was not possible to take a step further in the season's closing match held on September 5-7, Xie Yonglin's performance in Monza is still exciting, injecting a needle into the 2026 season. The rookie of the season once again showed determination on the track, climbing up to 14 places in the sprint and finally finishing in 15th place.
