In 2010 he was fifth in the German Formula Three Championship with 2 victories, 8 podiums and 1 pole position. He also attended the 2010 Macau Grand Prix Formula Three where he finished on ninth after having qualified seventh in his debut with the same Swedish/British racing team Performance Racing.

European Formula 3 Championship
For 2011, he graduated to the Formula 3 Euro Series with the Mücke Motorsport team, where he finished 5th with 1 win, 10 podiums and 5 fastest laps, and won the Masters of Formula 3 in his rookie year.

In 2012 he finished third in the 2012 European Formula 3 Championship and finished second in Macau Grand Prix.

The year after he narrowly missed out on the 2013 European Formula 3 Championship title to Raffaele Marciello, however winning the Masters of Formula 3 for a second time from pole position.
