Eurocup: Victor Martins alone in the world

Starting in pole position, Victor Martins (ART Grand Prix) outclassed his opponents to win race 1 this Saturday in Barcelona. The French driver finished with a comfortable cushion of 16 seconds ahead of his main pursuer Caio Collet (R-ace GP).

The Brazilian, author of a completely missed start, dropped back to 7th place at the first corner, before taking his opponents one by one up to 2nd position thanks to an excellent racing pace. Thanks to his comeback, the R-ace GP driver limits the damage to the championship, conceding only seven points to Martins, now in the lead with a nine-point lead.

First top 5 for Hadrien David

For his part, French F4 champion Hadrien David (MP Motorsport) won the Hankook trophy for best rookie thanks to his first Top 5 of the season. While he started from 9th position, the Frenchman scraped four places at the start.

After being overtaken by Collet, he recovered 5th place on the penultimate lap after his teammate Franco Colapinto (MP Motorsport) went off the track. For its grand premiere in Formula Renault, Kas Haverkort (MP Motorsport) took a good 9th place. The Frenchman Reshad de Gerus (Arden) finished penultimate (17th).
