From what I understand, Hamilton was 3rd fastest today and Piquet was quickest. VDM and Green were not there. Not sure of anything else but im sure someone will post full results soon.

British Formula Three Championship runner-up elect Jamie Green has had another outing with a works Mercedes-Benz team confirmed for Zandvoort this weekend.

The Britain, who graduated with aplomb to F3 after finishing as runner-up in the British Formula Renault series in his first season of car racing last year, will replace Jan Heylen at Team Kolles for the Dutch race, which supports this weekend's penultimate DTM round, and the final four races of the series after that.

The Zandvoort outing will be Green's second in the Euroseries, having previously filled in for injured ASM driver Bruno Spengler at Pau in June, and comes just a week before he is due to pit himself against Nelson Piquet Jr at Brands Hatch to determine who finishes second to Alan van der Merwe in the British series.

The 21-year old finished on the podium in Pau, and already has experience of the Zandvoort circuit, having raced there in August during the annual Marlboro Masters, where he finished fifth.

Although he ahs proven successful with Carlin Motorsport in the British series this season, it is rumoured that Green may use the Euroseries to further his connection with Mercedes in 2004.
