Sean Gelael is ready for a "big push" as part of his bid to secure a full-time mo🔴ve up to Formula 1 in 2019 after making his first grand prix weekend appearance with💞 Toro Rosso in Singapore.

Gelael, 20, currently races full-time in Formula🎀 2, and took part in FP1 at 🐈Marina Bay for Toro Rosso in the first of four practice appearances planned before the end of the season.

Having also featured at tests in Bahrain and Hungary, plus with a🔯n appearance at the end-of-season running in Abu Dhabi planned, Gelael is hoping to put in some impressive displays in a bid to lobby for an F1 seat in the future, but is aware he must also impress in F2.

"We realise that we need a really good result in F2💯 to get the [FIA Super Licence] points, and not only the points but to get a🙈 good result in general," Gelael said.

"So hopefully we can do that next year. It’s going be a big push and hopefully we can still continue the program൩me with testing with Toro Ros✤so next year, and see what 2019 brings."

Gelael currently sits 15th in the F2 standings with a best result of fifth so far this season, achieved in the last round at Monza, and he hopes it can mark the start of a str😼ong run of form to end the season.

"It’s a difficult ꧑staཧrt, to be honest. Our pace has always been relatively good, but with people not looking so close in Formula 2 we’ve had a lot of hiccups: reliability issues from day one," Gelael said.

"It’s been really tough to judge. And thankfully, in some races we showed the pace in the race a🔯nd then in race two w🥂e’ve always shown something.

"I think Monza was quite a clea🔯n weekend, I think it’s a good confid🎃ence booster for the last two races.

"You’re ꦰonly as good as your last race, so hopefully in the last two races 🌞we can do a much better job."
