Soucek, Wickens and Jousse in battle

Andy Soucek has not yet consolidated his advantage in the general classification. Unlike other categories of single-seaters, the F2 does not offer any points to the pole sitter. Despite everything, Andy Soucek produced two good performances during the qualifying sessions for the Oschersleben races. The Spaniard will thus start in the lead in the first race and in third position in the second. “ It is not easy, however tempers Andy Soucek. The level of competitiveness increases with each race. I think I found a very good setting and the car runs incredibly well. I am confident. »

But Andy Soucek?s rivals have not given up. Thus, after setting the 4th fastest time in the first session, Julien Jousse placed himself in second position on the second grid. As for Robert Wickens, runner-up to Soucek in the general classification, he will start in 3rd and 5th positions on each of the two starting grids. “ I think the race will be decided in the first corner, comments the Canadian. Starting from second is always better than what I have done on other occasions. »

Poleman of the second race, Mikhail Aleshin will have to struggle if he wants to score points in the first, having only placed tenth position on Friday afternoon during the first session. It is with the objective of scoring as many points as possible that these drivers will take the start of the first race, this Saturday, at 14:15 p.m.
