Vietoris wants to return to Bianchi

Jules Bianchi, after five rounds and ten races of Formula 3 Euro Series, presents a very positive record: 5 victories, 7 podiums, 3 best laps in the race, 2 pole positions. With 61 points, the ART Grand Prix driver undoubtedly dominates the Franco-German F3 championship. This weekend, at the Nürburgring, the Frenchman has the opportunity to widen the gap a little further and assume the status of favorite which now sticks to him.

But, not far from there, his runner-up, Christian Vietoris, still believes in his chances. Well surrounded by the Mücke Motorsport team, the German driver hopes to get back on the Frenchman, after winning three races. Unfortunately for him, Christian Vietoris always won on Sunday, thanks to the reverse grid system, during the second race which yielded fewer points than the first (6 against 10). Despite everything, the Mücke Motorsport driver does not lose hope. “ Jules certainly has a comfortable lead of 18 points, but I am far from having given up on the title race. My goal for next weekend is a victory, preferably on Saturday. »

Other drivers will also seek to shine. Even if the championship title now seems far away, despite a very good start to the season, Jean-Karl Vernay will try to consolidate his place in the top three of F3. Less exposed, the rookie of the ART team, Valtteri Bottas, is currently in full progress. With 17 of his 26 points gleaned over the last two race weekends, the 2008 Formula champion Renault 2.0 proves that he has reached the level of the best. The Nürburgring weekend will therefore be the ideal opportunity for these drivers to assert their status and make an impression.
