Tommi Hämäläinen
Tommi Hämäläinen (b. 3rd February 1997) is a Finnish racing driver. His earlier career includes winning the Finnish Formula Ford championship and multiple rounds in the FRenault 2.0 Eurocup.
F3RWRS
Hämäläinen was picked by Nurminen Racing Engineering to drive their second car at the 2015 F3RWRS Monaco SuperPrix as a guest entrant. With a solid drive he finished 21st, ahead of a few regular F3RWRS drivers. For the Spa SuperPrix he was signed by Foster's Good Call Racing to drive their third car. After being involved in a collision he quietly finished in 36th position. Despite that setback, things were looking good for Hämäläinen in 2016 - FGCR offered a contract for a full time F3 seat, and the young Finn happily accepted.
F1RDS
Hämäläinen also drove in the 2015 F1RDS season for Nurminen, replacing Anu Võsu who had had a disappointing streak of low finishes. Right in his first outing he finished on the podium with 3rd, but then Nurminen's fortunes started to dwindle and he failed to score in the next four races. This led to him being replaced by Võsu for the last round of the season.
F1RWRS
Hämäläinen made his F1RWRS debut in the non-championship 2015 Baltic Sea Grand Prix, driving for Nurminen Racing Engineering. Despite qualifying a low 22nd and crashing in the pitlane during the race he managed a brilliant 6th place.
Hämäläinen also took part in the non-championship 2016 French Grand Prix, again with NRE, by sharing the team's first car with Thomas Yorke. In the race they performed well by scoring the fastest lap and leading by a wide margin at one point, but the Chrysler engine eventually blew up.
