PROFILE
JONAS ANDERSSON is a driver who puts everything out there and leaves everything out there. He finished runner-up in the drivers’ championship last season, ending the year with a pole and race win.
He made his F1H2O debut in 2006 after a very successful run in F2000 racing in both Europe and the Middle East, winning the F2000 World Championship with back-to-back titles in 2003 and in 2004.
From his 99 Grand Prix starts he has won seven, reached the podium 15 times and has qualified in pole position four times. His first win came in St Petersburg in 2008 on his way to third overall in the championship.
