F3 Euroseries - Zandvoort

Daisy · 11 Jul 2008, 18:19 (Ref:2249337)

No Masters (again) at Zandvoort, but there is of course still the F3 Euroseries round. Only 27 cars on the grid. Götz left RC. Jo Zeller is not here (unknown reason), so no Klein as well.

Nico Hülkenberg is on pole for the 4th time this season. Good chance however for Hülkenberg and Mäki to gain some extra points since championship leader Mortara only qualified 15th. But with the Dutch weather, you never know what it's gonna be (there is rain predicted)

1. Nico Hülkenberg - ART - 1.32.087
2. Mika Mäki - Mücke - 1.32.167

RC Motorsport seems really off the pace. What's going on there? They really need a good driver who can help develop the car. It cannot be Volkswagen, since Signature is leading the championship with the same engine.

Gotz was a decent driver , there is more than likely something wrong with RC engineering

Championship is wide open again. Hülkenberg wins, ahead of Mäki and Bianchi. Mortara spins out while driving 11th. Only 4 points seperate Hülkenberg and Mortara now, with Hülkenberg starting tomorrows race from 8th, while Mortara starts 25th.

haha, Nico cant seem to take a trick - maybe that other bloke from Germany has used up all of that country's luck...

Lam Pak · 13 Jul 2008, 08:36 (Ref:2250007)

franky cheng is not delivering the performance that chinese ppl expects from him. we should have stock with mercerdes engines.

Daisy · 13 Jul 2008, 08:49 (Ref:2250018)

Volkswagen is not the problem. RC the problem. Apart from Hockenheim (where Götz finished 6th), they're underperforming.

Van Der Zande wins race 2, ahead of Clairay and Mailleux. Mortara remains leader despite a 0 score again. Hülkenberg also not in the points (after starting last).

Current standings (top 8) after 10/20 rounds
1. Mortara - 40 points
2. Mäki - 31 points
3. Van Der Zande - 27 points
4. Hülkenberg - 26 points
5. Vietoris - 20 points
6. Clairay - 19 points
7. Mailleux - 19 points
8. Vernay - 18,5 points

What an awful sportsmanship by Breen at the start, he put Wickens right into the wall. Also Clos was inexcusable for overtaking under yellow. Really bad driving from both.

**gomick** · 13 Jul 2008, 11:27 (Ref:2250078)

Well, atleast Edoardo Mortara didnt score any points at Zandvoort - Nico still a big chance...

Unsportsmanlike driving from Breen? How surprising.
