F3 – A Fuoco – Verstappen – Ocon podium in C3

Just like yesterday afternoon at the start of the second, Esteban Ocon (Prema Powerteam) started this morning from pole position in the third race of the opening round of the third race of the opening round of the FIA ​​European Championship F3 in Silverstone (Great Britain). But less quick to set off than Antonio Fuoco (Prema Powerteam), second on the grid, the Frenchman was grilled by his Italian teammate as soon as the lights went out.

Second, the resident of the Lotus F1 Junior Team will resist the Dutchman for a long time Max Verstappen (Van Amersfoort Racing) before finally giving in. “I lit my front left tire, and my times suffered” he told us after arrival. Verstappen is, however, still under investigation, accused of having carried out an overtaking maneuver under a yellow flag.

The top three will no longer change, the podium for this event being monopolized by three rookies. Resident of the Ferrari Driver Academy, the Italian Antonio Fuco (Prema Powerteam) won his first victory in the FIA ​​F17 European Championship at the age of 3 ahead of the Dutchman Max Verstappen (16), a defector from karting, and 17-year-old Frenchman Esteban Ocon. Second in the first race, winner of the second and credited with two pole positions, the latter leaves Silverstone with a smile... and in the leader's chair.
