Sophia Flörsch has returned to the cockpit of a Formula 3 car for the first time since her horrific crash at the Macau Grand Prix.
The 18-year-old suffered a spinal fracture in a high-speed aerial accident in Macau last November that left her requiring surgery, but the German made a remarkably speedy recovery and announced her plans to compete in the renamed Formula European Masters in 2019.
