From British F3 press release

Canadian Robert Wickens will rejoin the Carlin team this weekend, at the Hockenheim round of the 2009 Cooper Tires British F3 International Series.

The Canadian raced with Carlin in last year's Formula Renault 3.5 championship and will make his debut in British F3 this weekend with the multiple championship-winning squad.

Wickens will be racing alongside the team's regular racers of Daniel Ricciardo, Max Chilton and Henry Arundel, all of whom have finished on the podium in 2009.

Carlin's British F3 team has already taken three wins, four pole positions and six podium finishes from just six rounds. Red Bull racer Daniel Ricciardo currently leads the championship, despite a disappointing weekend last time out at Rockingham.

Wickens took four podiums and one race win in his time with Carlin in World Series and has since gone on to become the first winner in the revived FIA Formula 2 Championship. Wickens took both pole positions and victories in the opening round of the championship in Valencia to take an early lead in the championship standings.
