F3 – C2: Hughes and Hitech take their first victory

Starting from pole position, Jake Hughes (Hitech GP) was not worried by Lando Norris (Carlin) and quickly built a comfortable lead over the championship leader. The race itself, in the dry, saw few overtakes, the drivers paying attention to their car before the third race of the weekend.

 

 

 

With this victory, Jake Hughes adds his name to the list of winners in F3 and offers Hitech GP its first victory since Spa-Francorchamps in 2016 with George Russell. Lando Norris further increases his advantage in the championship and Callum Ilott (Prema Powerteam) finishes on the podium.

Tadasuke Makino takes advantage of Hitech's form to take 4e place. He is ahead of his teammate Ralf Aron. Ferdinand Habsburg (Carlin) is 6e far ahead of Joey Mawson (VAR) who had a solitary race. Harrison Newey (VAR) finishes 8e just ahead of Joel Eriksson (Motopark) and Jehan Daruvala (Carlin) complete the top 10. Sacha fenestraz (Carlin) was the victim of contact with Mick Schumacher (Prema) during the race and had to settle for 13e place. Maximilian Günther (Prema Powerteam) once again did not score a point.
