The HMD Motorsports team said that the decision to part ways with Sophia Flörsch was made by mutual consent. The statement emphasized that the parties have maintained a good relationship and the team wishes Sofia success in her future endeavors.
HMD Motorsports is now actively looking for a new driver to replace Sofia Flörsch, who will drive the #24 car for the remaining 13 races of the season, as well as take part in the upcoming tests.
