Originally written by Joas van Wingerden. This version is a translation.

Reaching Formula 1 is seen as the pinnacle of motorsport, but making it to the top of the mountain is not easy. Mobil 1 The Grid caught up with some of the competitors in European Formula 3 hoping to follow in the footsteps of Max Verstappen and Esteban Ocon by making it all the way.

Pascal Wehrlein, Carlos Sainz Jr, Daniil Kvyat and Charles Leclerc have all graduated to F1 after spells in the series in recent years.

Reigning champion Lando Norris and fellow British hopeful George Russell have both been linked with F1 seats in 2019 also.

Mick Schumacher is undoubtedly the most eye-catching name in the current line-up.

The famous track was the scene of his father's F1 debut and maiden win, only adding to the mysticism surrounding Mick's triumph.

Dan Ticktum is also a familiar name to many motorsport fans and could be lining up on the F1 grid in 2019.
