00:00:47SO A BIT OF A DIFFERENT GRID TO WHAT WE HAD,

00:00:57UGO UGOCHUKU AND FREDDIE SLATER COMING TOGETHER,
00:01:00BRINGING OUT AN EARLY SAFETY CAR.
00:01:03LOTS OF ACTION GOING UP THE KEMEL STRAIGHT.
00:01:06OUT FRONT THOUGH, JIN NAKAMORA WOULD HAVE A THREE-PLACE GRID
00:01:09DROP, BUT WOULD MAKE THOSE THREE-PLACES BACK UP
00:01:12TO GET HIS FIRST WIN IN THE FORMULA 3 CHAMPIONSHIP
00:01:15AND BECOME THE FIRST JAPANESE DRIVER TO WIN IN FIVE YEARS
00:01:20SINCE AYUMU IWASA, WITH BRANDO BADOUER AND PEDRO CLARO,

00:02:27WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PENALTIES COMING IN.
00:02:28THERE WERE SOME FOR DRIVING UNNECESSARILY SLOWLY.
00:02:30WE SORT OF A LOT OF DRIVERS QUEUING UP
00:02:33AND EVENTUALLY CAUSING A COLLISION AT THE END OF QUALIFYING.
00:02:37LOTS OF DRIVERS GETTING PENALTIES
00:02:39FOR DRIVING TOO SLOWLY IN QUALIFYING.
00:02:40A FEW DRIVERS GETTING PENALTIES
00:02:42FOR LEAVING THE TRACK WITHOUT JUSTIFIABLE REASONS.
00:02:44THEY TRIED TO GET AROUND THOSE DRIVERS
00:02:45THAT WERE GOING SLOWLY.
00:02:46HERE YAMAKOSHI, NO PODIUM FOR HIM,
00:02:48BUT HE WAS CAUGHT OUT, ACTUALLY.
00:02:49ONE OF THE DRIVERS THAT ENDED UP STATIONARY

00:04:23FOR CAUSING A COLLISION IN QUALIFY.
00:04:25THAT'S ALL THE PENALTIES, SO LET'S GO THROUGH THE REST OF THEM FOR YOU.
00:04:28IT IS THE TWO ROAD-INS, CHRISTIAN HOME, BRANDO, BADOWER NEXT,
00:04:31PETRO CLERO.
00:04:32THE OTHER ROAD-IN DRIVER IS P6.

00:04:41HE'S ALONGSIDE HIYU YAMAKOSHI, WHO WAS ON THE PODIUM BACK AT BARCELONA.

00:04:48CAN HE BECOME THE FIRST FINISHED DRIVER TO WIN IN FORMULA 3
00:04:51AND GET A FIRST WIN FOR MP MOTORS4 AT THIS CIRCUIT?
00:04:55BUT ALONGSIDE HIM, BACK-TO-BACK POLLE POSITIONS FOR THE AUDI JUNIOR,
00:04:59FREDDIE SLATER.
00:05:00THE LAST BRITISH WINNER, PEERS, WAS CALM VOYZIN,
00:05:03WHO WON HERE FROM POLLE POSITION IN THE FEATURE RACE TWO YEARS AGO.
00:05:08YEAH, IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE STARS MAY WELL BE ALIGNING FOR FREDDIE SLATER'S FIRST WIN.
00:05:13I DON'T WANT TO JINX HIM, BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN HIM ON THE PODIUM SO MANY TIMES,
00:05:17BUT HE'S IN A GOOD RUN OF FORM AT THE MOMENT.
00:05:19HE MENTIONED POLLE POSITION LAST TIME OUT IN THE FEATURE, DIDN'T CONVERT THEN.
00:05:23POLLE POSITION AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.
00:05:24THE TRIDENT CAR WAS THE CAR THAT WON THE ONLY RACE THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR
00:05:28WITH NOAH STROMSTED IN THE SPRINT RACE.
00:05:30THIS RACE LAST YEAR CANCELLED DUE TO POR WEATHER.
00:05:33THAT WAS BRAND BENEVITUS AND AIX ON POLLE POSITION THAT DAY.
00:05:38BRAD, IF YOU'RE WATCHING, GET WELL SOON.
00:05:39HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE GRID AT SOME POINT AGAIN.
00:05:41HE'S INJURED AFTER AN INCIDENT EARLY ON THIS SEASON.
00:05:44AND RICARDO ESCOTTO CURRENTLY SITTING IN HIS SEAT.
00:05:46BUT THERE YOU GO, THE NUMBER FIVE TRIDENT CAR BREAKING HIS WAY DOWN.
00:05:50THE AUDI JUNIOR WILL BE HOPING TO TRY AND EXTEND OR TAKE THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
00:05:54TODAY, AND HE GIVES HIMSELF THE BEST OPPORTUNITY IF HE CAN WIN THIS RACE.
00:05:57WELL, FREDDIE SLATER, BACK-TO-BACK POLLE POSITIONS FOR HIM.
00:06:01LET'S SEE WHAT THE BRITISH DRIVER HAD TO SAY AFTER TAKING POLLE POSITION IN QUALIFYING HERE
00:06:07AT SPAR ON FRIDAY.
00:06:11WHAT AN AMAZING SESSION, YOU KNOW, NOW WE'VE GOT TWO POLLS IN A ROW, IT'S BUILT
00:06:15SOME NICE MOMENTUM, AND I THINK IT'S BEEN COMING FOR A WHILE.
00:06:18NOW I'VE BECOME PROBABLY A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE AND JUST A BIT MORE EXPERIENCE IN THE CAR, I
00:06:22GUESS, AND IT'S BEEN A REALLY POSITIVE WEEKEND FOR ME SO FAR.
00:06:25PRACTICE WAS VERY STRONG, THEN THE RAIN SPICED THINGS UP, AND, YEAH, WE HAD TO DELIVER ON
00:06:30THAT FIRST LAP, AND I KNEW GOING INTO QUALIFYING THOSE FIVE, TEN MINUTES BEFORE WE WENT GREEN, I KNEW THE
00:06:34FIRST
00:06:35LAP WAS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT, SO, YEAH, WE MAXIMIZED THE JOB THERE.
00:06:37YEAH, OF COURSE, I WANT TO WIN, I WANT TO GET MY FIRST WIN UNDER MY BELT, BUT, YEAH,
00:06:42HONESTLY, I WOULD RATHER NOT WIN A RACE BUT WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, SO WE NEED TO PLAY IT SMART
00:06:45AND JUST KEEP ON PICKING UP THE POINTS, AND, YEAH, DRIVE WELL, DRIVE CLEAN, MANAGE THE TIES,
00:06:50AND SEE WHERE WE END UP.
00:06:52FREDDIE SLATER RECEIVING THE ARAMCO POLLE POSITION AWARD FROM EMISSEN FITAPAUDI, WHO WON THE BELGIAN
00:06:56GRANDPRI IN 1972 AND 1974, ON HIS WAY TO WINNING BOTH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.
00:07:05OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WE'VE DONE SOME MATHS BEFORE, UGO UGACUKU, WHO STARTS 13TH, THERE HE IS,
00:07:11THE NUMBER TWO, MUST TAKE A TOP FIVE FINISH TO GUARANTEE HIMSELF THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER GOING INTO
00:07:18ROUND 7 AT HUNGARY NEXT WEEKEND.
00:07:20YEAH, ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT THINGS CAN CHANGE SO QUICKLY, WE WERE TALKING AHEAD OF SILVERSTONE
00:07:24THAT UGACUKU HAD A COMMANDING LEAD, IS ANYONE GOING TO CATCH HIM?
00:07:27WELL, ONE EVENT LATER, SLATER COULD, IN THEORY, TAKE THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD AWAY FROM UGACUKU,
00:07:34AND THAT QUALIFYING PENALTIES, POST-QUALIFYING PENALTIES REALLY NOT HELPING AGO, HE GOT TWO
00:07:39PENALTIES WHICH DROPPED HIM SIX PLACES.
00:07:41WE KNOW HE'S PASSED, WE KNOW THE CAMPOS HAS GOT GOOD PACE, IT'S GOT GOOD LATE RACE PACE AS WELL
00:07:46IN THIS LONGER
00:07:48FEATURE RACE, 15 LAPS WE'VE GOT TODAY, WE DIDN'T GET MANY CONSECTIVE LAPS OF RUNNING YESTERDAY
00:07:52WITH THE INTERRUPTIONS OF SAFETY CAR AT THE START AND THE SAFETY CAR FOR THE DEBRI ON TRACK EARLIER ON
00:07:57AS
00:07:58BRIEN BAPTI WENT THROUGH THIS STRAIGHT MODE BOARD ON THE EXIT OF LASAURCE, BUT, YEAH, INTERESTING RACE AHEAD,
00:08:04UGACUKU, I'M ASSUMING IF HE GETS AWAY CLEAN, HE WILL MAKE HIS WAY INTO THE POINTS, BUT HOW HIGH WE
00:08:09SHALL SEE,
00:08:09AND ALSO THAT RUG LIES ON SLATER WINNING THIS RACE, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE OF THAT, BECAUSE TUKA TAFFEDEN ALONGSIDE HIM,
00:08:15AND ERNESTO RIVERA, THE CAMPOS DRIVER THAT'S ALREADY TAKEN A WIN THIS SEASON, STARTS FOURTH,
00:08:19HIYU YAMAKOSHI, WHO'S BEEN QUICK FOR ART, OH, SORRY, VAN AMER SPORT, STARTS THIRD AS WELL,
00:08:24AND WE KNOW THE THREE DRS ZONES, AN ADDITIONAL DRS ZONE THIS YEAR, THE ONE DOWN TOWARDS LA SAURCE AND
00:08:30THE ONE UP KEMEL,
00:08:31REMAIN, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL DRS ZONE ON THE EXIT OF BLANCHEMON INTO THE BUS STOP, MEANS THAT OVERTAKING IS
00:08:37THAT
00:08:37LITTLE BIT EASIER AS WELL, LOTS OF FLAT OUT RUNNING HERE, AND ALSO PRETTY HARD ON THE TYRES,
00:08:42ESPECIALLY THOSE FRONT TYRES HERE, ALTHOUGH THE CONDITIONS LENDING THEMSELVES A LITTLE BIT MORE TO TYRE PRESERVATION,
00:08:48AIR TEMPERATURE ONLY NUDGING 14 DEGREES, IT'S DECIDEDLY CHILLY THIS MORNING, WE'RE IN THE TWENTYS
00:08:53YESTERDAY, TRACK TEMPERATURE BARELY ABOVE 20 DEGREES, SO THAT WILL HELP THOSE FRONT TYRES, THOSE FRONT PIRELLI
00:08:58TYRES, AND STOP THEM OVERHEATING QUITE AS QUICKLY. WE DIDN'T REALLY GET TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT TYRE WHERE WE CAN
00:09:04EXPECT A COUPLE OF SAFETY CARS YESTERDAY, SO LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE COURSE OF THIS 15 LAP
00:09:09FEATURE RACE, POINTS TO YOUR TOP 10, 25 TO THE WINNER, WE HAVE A POINT FOR FASTEST LAP AS WELL,
00:09:15THERE'S YOUR
00:09:16GREEN FLAG AT THE BACK OF THE FIELD, TO THE RIGHT OF SCREEN IS TUKA TAPANEN, TO THE LEFT, YOUR
00:09:21POLLE SITTER
00:09:21FREDDIE SLATER, AND WE ARE GO FOR THE ROUND 6 FEATURE RACE HERE AT SPAR, NOT A GOOD LAUNCH AT
00:09:27ALL
00:09:27FOR FREDDIE SLATER OF POLLE POSITION, AND HE'S HAVING TO DEFEND FROM THE RED BALL JUNIORS, ERNESTO
00:09:32RIVERA AND MATIER GORNAGI, IT'S GOING TO BE TUKA TAPANEN WHO GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH INTO THE LEAD
00:09:37OF THE RACE, AND HIYU YAMAKOSHI THERE IN SECOND PLACE FOR VAN AMESWORD, WE'VE GOT THE TWO RED BALL
00:09:42JUNIORS
00:09:42SIDE BY SIDE, THE NUMBER THREE OF RIVERA, AND THEN GORNAGI, TWO IS OUTSIDE AS THEY HEAD, ZURO RUGE, AND
00:09:48UP RANDI ON,
00:09:49AND ALMOST CONTACT BETWEEN THE RED BALL JUNIORS THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE RIVERA HAS JUST HELD ON
00:09:54INTO FOURTH POSITION, AND NOW FREDDIE SLATER IS ON THE FIGHT BACK IN THIRD PLACE, HE KNOWS HE CAN TAKE
00:10:00THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD TODAY, WE ARE FOUR WIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK, AND FREDDIE SLATER IS GOING TO
00:10:04GO
00:10:05THREE WIDE INTO LAKON, HIYU YAMAKOSHI ROUND THE OUTSIDE TO TAKE THE LEAD AWAY FROM TAPANEN, SLATER IN THIRD,
00:10:12AND IT'S ALL GOING OFF AS THEY HEAD THROUGH MALMODY, OH, AND WE'VE GOT THE WILLIAMS JUNIOR,
00:10:16GIUSTI OFF, COMES INTO THE PATH OF THE RODINS, AND ONE OF THE KAMPOS, WHITE KAMPOS CARS IS OFF,
00:10:22AND IT'S OUR CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER, UGO UGACHUKU.
00:10:25OH, NOT A GOOD START FOR UGACHUKU, SLATER AS WELL, TERRIBLE START, SOMEHOW MANY TO SALVAGE IT, TOP THREE,
00:10:31REVERSE, YAMAKOSHI TO FIRST, SECOND IS, OF COURSE, TAPANEN, SLATER DOWN TO THIRD, AND THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON
00:10:37FURTHER
00:10:38DOWN THE ORDER. NOW, WE SAW SOMEONE OFF AT MALMODY, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE ROADING CARS,
00:10:43IT APPEARS, WHO WAS OFF IN THE GRAVEL, AND I THINK REJOINED AGAIN, BECAUSE THEY'VE DROPPED DOWN
00:10:47A COUPLE OF POSITIONS, WE'VE GOT YEV AND DAVID, WHO APPEARS TO HAVE STOPPED AS WELL, NANDER VUD BIDAMBAKTI
00:10:54IS IN THE PIT LANE, SO NOT TOO SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, BUT THE YELLOW FLAGS ARE OUT AS
00:10:59A RESULT OF THIS,
00:11:00AND, PIERS, YOU POINT OUT, FRONT WING DAMAGE TO TERFIELD NINE.
00:11:03THERE WAS FRONT WING DAMAGE IN THE NUMBER ONE CAR, THE DRIVER THAT STARTED THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS HOPING TO GET
00:11:07HIMSELF IN THE ORDER,
00:11:08HE'S HAD A GOOD START, MOVED UP POSITIONS, BUT LOOK, THERE YOU GO, THE NUMBER ONE WHITE CAR, FRONT WING
00:11:12HANGING OFF,
00:11:13AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE A SAFETY CAR, YEV AND DAVID WAS ONE OF THE 20 DRIVERS IN THAT
00:11:18MELEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK,
00:11:19BUT YOU CAN SEE VAN AMOS FORT RACING, LOOKING ON AS THEIR DRIVER, HERE YAMAKOSHI, LEADS THE RACE, YAMAKOSHI IS
00:11:27IN SUCH A GOOD RUNNER FORM AT THE MOMENT, CHRIS,
00:11:28HE TAKES THE LEAD IN THIS FEATURE, HE REALLY IS, BUT WHAT DO THEY DO NOW, TERFIELD NINE'S GOT A
00:11:33BROKEN FRONT WING AND A PUNCURE,
00:11:35HE'S SURELY GOING TO HAVE TO COME INTO THE PIT LANE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT WE HAVE A
00:11:40SAFETY CAR HERE,
00:11:41BUT THIRD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, HE'S ALREADY DROPPING BACK IN TERMS OF POINTS TO THE TOP TWO, THIS COULD BE
00:11:48REALLY COSTLY FOR TERFIELD NINE,
00:11:50HE COMES INTO THE PIT LANE, HE CURRENTLY SITS 31 POINTS BACK BEHIND HIS TEAMMATE, AND THIS IS NOT GOING
00:11:55TO BE GOOD AT ALL.
00:11:56YEAH, ESPECIALLY IF FREDDIE SLATER STAYS UP IN THE PODIUM POSITIONS, IT'S GOING TO PUT HIM A LONG WAY BACK
00:12:02IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:12:03AGAIN, WE'VE STILL GOT PLANY MORE RACES TO COME AFTER THE SEASON, BUT LET'S WATCH THIS PIT STOP AND
00:12:06SEE IF THE CAMPORS TEAM CAN GET TERFIELD NINE BACK OUT ON THE BACK OF THE PACK,
00:12:10AND GIVE HIM AT LEAST A SLIM OPPORTUNITY OF POINTS TODAY, BUT HE WILL HAVE TO WORK HIS WAY THROUGH
00:12:15THE FIELD OF 29,
00:12:17OTHER, WELL, 28 NOW AS YEVAN DAVIS OFF THE CERCUIT, 28 OTHER FORMULA 3 CARS.
00:12:23YEP, WELL, THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON THERE AT THE START, PIERS, LET'S UNPICK EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
00:12:28SO SLATER HAD A TERRIBLE LAUNCH OF THE LANDWATCH, THE CAR JUST BOGS DOWN, YOU CAN SEE HIM LURCH FORWARD
00:12:32AND THEN GO SLOW,
00:12:33HAD TO REPUL IN THE CLUTCH, I THOUGHT SLATER WAS GOING TO DROP, TENS OF POSITIONS, AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE TO THE
00:12:38INSIDE ON KOM NAGI,
00:12:39THEN STUSSED IT BACK DOWN THE INSIDE, HE WAS THREE, NEARLY FOUR A PRESS DOWN TOWARDS TURN ONE, SLATER HOLDS
00:12:45THIRD,
00:12:45THEN THERE WERE THREE WIDE FURTHER BACK, WHAT ELSE WAS GOING ON, THERE WAS NEARLY CONTACT WITH A PREMER,
00:12:49AND ONE OF THE OTHER CARS BEHIND, HERE YAMAKOSHI, A LIFT INTO AUROUGE TO PUT HIMSELF THE PERFECT DISTANCE BACK,
00:12:55REALLY GOOD RACECRAFT, HEADS UP DRIVING, VERY SMART, VERY HIGH IQ DRIVING THERE FROM YAMAKOSHI,
00:13:01STAYED A BIT FURTHER BACK SO HE GOT MORE OF A SLING SHOT TO THE OUTSIDE, HE WENT,
00:13:06AND THEN BRAVE ON THE BRAKES, JUST ABOUT GETTING IT STOPPED, FIGHTING WITH THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
00:13:13CORNER ON COLD TYRES,
00:13:14AND FURTHER BACK WE ARE PRETTY MUCH FOUR, FIVE WIDE, SLATER WAS ON THE GRASS, AND THEN STROPS,
00:13:20IT WAS ALSO TWO WIDE ON THE GRASS, THEN LATER ON, WHERE DID, SO IT WAS NIGHER WENT INTO THE
00:13:24BACK OF TITO CARTO,
00:13:26AND THEN THE TWO CARS WENT OFF, NOW WHO WENT OFF HERE IN MALMODY, GIOUSTI GOES WIDE, AND THEN ONE
00:13:31OF THE,
00:13:31IT WAS UP THE HEAD, WASN'T IT, WAS ACTUALLY, IT WAS UGO, WASN'T IT, WHO WENT OFF THERE,
00:13:35AND REJOINED THE CIRCUIT, SO HERE COMES THE CONTACT ON CARTO AHEAD.
00:13:39OH, JUST A MISJUDGEMENT, SO, SO CLOSE, THAT WAS JUST A MINOR TOUCH, WASN'T IT, CHRIS,
00:13:45BUT AT THAT SPEED, YOU KNOW, 160 YARDS AN HOUR, I THINK THEY GO INTO THERE AT LAY KONG,
00:13:49AND THEN SHUT THIS TEAMMATE OFF.
00:13:51OH, IT WAS CONTACT TO CONTACT, YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS BECAUSE NIGHEL'S FRONTMAN WAS ALREADY DAMAGED,
00:13:54SO HE TURNED IN, EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO GRIT, BUT UNDERSTEAD INTO THE SIDE,
00:13:58DO YOU KNOW WHAT, UGO CHUKU'S LUCKY TO GET AWAY WITH THAT, THAT IT WAS WHEEL TO SIDE POD CONTACT
00:14:03THERE,
00:14:03RATHER THAN WHEEL TO WHEEL, WE'VE SEEN SO MANY TIMES THAT FRONT WHEEL TO REAR WHEEL CONTACT CAN SOMETIMES
00:14:07BREAK
00:14:08THE REAR SUSPENSION, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN UGO CHUKU'S CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD GONE.
00:14:11AT THE MOMENT, UGO CHUKU, TENTH PLACE, ONE POINT, SO AT THE MOMENT WOULD STILL LOSE THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD,
00:14:17OH, ACTUALLY WOULD BE PRETTY TIGHT WITH SLATER IN THIRD, UNFORTUNATELY DAPALO'S BAD LUCK CONTINUES.
00:14:22YEAH, WELL, I DON'T THINK WE REALLY SAW WHAT HAPPEN, I WONDER IF THIS HAS SOMETHING
00:14:26TO DO WITH WHY YEVEN DAVID, UH, IS OFF INTO THE GRAVEL, UH, WE DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE REALLY,
00:14:33UH,
00:14:34THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON THROUGHOUT, WE HAVEN'T QUITE SEEN EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN,
00:14:37AND NANDOV WOULD BE IN BACK TO HIS PROBLEMS, I THINK CAME ON THE, THE FORMATION LAP,
00:14:41EVEN ON THE CIRCUIT, UH, DURING THAT FIRST RACE, HE'S RETIRED FROM THE RACE, BUT UH, I'M GOING TO PUT
00:14:46TWO
00:14:46AND TWO TOGETHER AND SAY THAT TO PAULO AND DAVID, LIKELY THOSE, UH, TWO INCIDENTS ARE CONNECTED,
00:14:53BUT THAT IS REALLY PURE SPECULATION. AS THINGS STAND AT THE MOMENT, IF THEY FINISH AS THEY ARE,
00:14:59WHICH THEY ALMOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT, UGO CHUKU WILL RETAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD BY A POINT OR TWO,
00:15:05DEPENDING ON FASTEST LAPS. YEAH, WE'VE GOT TO REMEMBER FASTEST LAP POINTS ARE STILL AWARDED
00:15:11IN FORMULA 3, THAT HAS NEVER CHANGED, SO LET'S GO THROUGH THE ORDER THEN, UH, WE'VE GOT YAMAKOSHI
00:15:17LEADING THE WAY FROM TAPANEN IN SECONDS, SLATER IN THIRD PLACE, KONARGI, UH, WHO WAS SIDE BY SIDE
00:15:23WITH HIS REDBALL JUNIOR, FELLOW REDBALL JUNIOR, ANNESTO RIVERA, UH, THEN WE HAVE STROMSTED, HOE, GUADISH,
00:15:31KARTO AND UGO CHUKU, I THINK KARTO QUITE LUCKY NOT TO PICK UP A PUNCURE FROM THE CONTACT HE RECEIVED
00:15:36FROM BEHIND FROM NIL, BUT WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT SIDE BY SIDE BETWEEN THE TWO REDBALL JUNIORS?
00:15:41I WAS ABOUT TO COME ON TO THAT, CHRIS, WE WATCHED THEM GO SIDE BY SIDE, THEY WERE MILLIMETERS APART,
00:15:46AURUGE AND RADION, FLAT OUT, COLD TIRES, COLD TRACK TEMPERATURE, LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS
00:15:51THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE RUN IN THESE TRACK CONDITIONS, TRACK TEMPERATURE IS STILL 20 DEGREES, AND THEY WERE FLAT
00:15:56OUT,
00:15:56SIDE BY SIDE, OH SO CLOSE, IF THEY'D HAVE TOUCHED THERE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GAME OVER FOR ONE OR
00:16:02BOTH OF THEM,
00:16:02BUT THEY BOTH BANISHED TO COME THROUGH THE FIELD THERE, LOOK AS WELL, THE 25 POINTS WOULD JUMP HERE,
00:16:06YAMAKOSHI INTO A GOOD POINT IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, ONLY FOUR POINTS BEHIND TEA FILLED NIL AS WELL,
00:16:11BECAUSE NIL'S UNLIKELY TO SCORE POINTS IN THIS RACE, OF COURSE THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT YAMAKOSHI WILL STAY AT
00:16:15THE FRONT OF THE FIELD, BUT HE'S IN SUCH A GOOD RUNNER FORM AT THE MOMENT.
00:16:18IT LOOKS LIKE STROMSED WOULD GO TO THIRD AS WELL, WITH NIL HAVING HAD TO MAKE A PIT STOP,
00:16:23HE WOULD DROP TO FOURTH, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE CAME ON AIR, THE TOP TWO REALLY ARE
00:16:29ESCAPING FROM THE REST OF THE FIELD, BUT BEHIND THAT, THE BATTLE FOR THE LAST STEP ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP POLE,
00:16:34AND PARTICULARLY NOW NIL HAS COME IN, IS WIDE OPEN.
00:16:37YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, YOU'VE GOT RODEN'S NOT FAR OFF EITHER, BY THE WAY, DEL PINO AS WELL,
00:16:42WHO'S NOT FEATURING AT THE MOMENT, HIGH UP IN THIS RACE, AND THEN PEDROCLEARO 2.
00:16:49NOW THE TEAM WILL BE IN THE AIR OF YAMAKOSHI ALREADY. THEY'LL HAVE HAD A PLAN,
00:16:53THEY'LL HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT SAFETY CAR RESTARTS, PROBABLY MORE ABOUT MAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT AND
00:16:57OVERTAKING DRIVERS AHEAD IN THE SAFETY CAR RESTART, BUT THEY MAY ALSO HAVE DONE A PLAN ALREADY
00:17:03FOR WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO FOR THE SAFETY CAR RESTART. THEY'LL HAVE HAD A WATCH OF THE SPRINT
00:17:07RACE
00:17:07YESTERDAY, JIN NAKIMURA SUCCESSFULLY FENDING EVERYONE OFF AFTER SAFETY CAR RESTARTS.
00:17:12WE SAW HIM GO IN THE RIGHT HAND OF THE PENULTIMATE CORNER AT THE BUS STOP, GETTING SIDEWAYS,
00:17:17BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MAKE THAT WORK. AND THEN ONCE WE GO RACING AGAIN,
00:17:21I IMAGINE WE'LL HAVE A LITER FULL LAP WITHOUT DRS AND EVERYONE WILL TRY AND JOKIE POSITION.
00:17:26IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAFETY CAR IS ENDING, SO NOW NEW YAMAKOSHI TAKES CONTROL OF THE FIELD.
00:17:33WE'LL GET READY TO GO. WE'VE GOT THE RUNDOWN TO LAS SAUCE AND THEN THE LONG CLIMB DOWNHILL
00:17:40TO
00:17:41AUROUGE BEFORE WE HEAD UP THROUGH THE AUROUGE RADION SUITE AND THEN IT'S THE LONG CLIMB UP THE
00:17:45CAMEL STRAIGHT ALL TOWARDS LAKON. WILL HYYU YAMAKOSHI BE IN THE LEAD BY THE TIME WE GET TO
00:17:52THAT FIRST RIGHT HANDER? THEN WE'VE GOT FREDDIE SLATER, KILNAGIE, THE FIRST OF THE RED BULL JUNIORS,
00:17:59NESTO RIVERA JUST BEHIND HIM. THEN IT'S STROMSTED HO, GUADISH, KARTO, UGACHUKU RIGHT.
00:18:05HIS FOOT DOWN FOR YAMAKOSHI AND HE'S CAUGHT TUKA TAPANEN SLEEPING THERE. FREDDIE SLATER
00:18:09IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM IN THIRD PLACE AND IS ALREADY ON THE ATTACK NOW AS WE HEAD IN TOWARDS THE
00:18:15CHICANE.
00:18:16YOU'VE GOT YOUR TWO RED BULL JUNIORS, KILNAGIE, RIVERA. OH AND GOING WIDE THERE IS YAMAKOSHI
00:18:21COMING INTO THE CHICANE. TAPANEN RIGHT BEHIND HIM AND HE'S GIVEN UP WHAT WAS A VERY GOOD LEAD THERE.
00:18:28AND NOW TAPANEN TUCKED UP JUST BEHIND HIM AS THEY HEAD UP TOWARDS LA SAUCE AND HERE COMES FREDDIE SLATER.
00:18:33DOWN THE INSIDE THE AUDI JUNIOR INTO LA SAUCE NOW AND HE'S GONNA GRAB THE TOW
00:18:38OF YAMAKOSHI AND TAPANEN GETTING HIS ELBOWS OUT TO HOLD ON TO THAT POSITION.
00:18:42TAPANEN COULD BE IN A GOOD POSITION HERE TO GET A REALLY GOOD RUN ON YAMAKOSHI.
00:18:47DOWN THROUGH AURUSZE. THE CLIMB UP RADION NOW AND IT'S ALL THE WAY UP THE CAMEL STRAIGHT.
00:18:52YAMAKOSHI KNOWS HE'S TRYING TO BREAK THE TOW IMMEDIATELY AND TAPANEN WILL BE CLOSING IN.
00:18:57THE TWO RED FULL JUNIORS ARE SIDE BY SIDE IN THE BACKGROUND AS WELL.
00:19:01KUNNAGI HAS BEEN PASSED BY RIVERA AND TAPANEN HAS NOW CLOSED IN ON YAMAKOSHI.
00:19:06THE YAMAKOSHI HOLDING ON TO THE LEAD AHEAD OF TAPANEN AND SLATER.
00:19:10WHAT A STRANGE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WITH THAT RESTART.
00:19:13IT WENT VERY EARLY DID HEAR YAMAKOSHI CAUGHT EVERYONE OUT BUT THEN HAD A SLIDE THROUGH THE SAME PLACE
00:19:17WE SAW JIN NAKAMURA HAVE A SLIDE IN THE SAFETY CAR RESTART YESTERDAY WHICH PUT HIM UNDER PRESSURE.
00:19:22TAPANEN ACTUALLY PASSED YAMAKOSHI BRIEFLY BUT THEN LET HIM BACK THROUGH BEFORE THE SAFETY CAR LINE.
00:19:27SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE ALL RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKE CAUSE THAT FROM YAMAKOSHI.
00:19:30BUT THAT ACCIDENTALLY WORKED IN FAVOR FOR YAMAKOSHI BECAUSE THEN SLATER WAS PUTTING THE PRESSURE ON BEHIND AND
00:19:36WE SAW SIDE BY SIDE BUT TO THE RED FULL JUNIORS FOR FOURTH AND FIFTH.
00:19:39UGACHU NOW WELL IN THE FIGHT WITH TWO ROADIN'S IN A ROADIN SANDWICH AT THE MOMENT.
00:19:44UGACHU WHO KNOWS HE NEEDS TO MAKE PROGRESS IN THIS RACE BUT LIKWISE CANNOT AFFORD TO DO WHAT HIS TEAMMATE
00:19:52NIAL HAS DONE AND GET INTO ANY TROUBLE.
00:19:54HE'S CURRENTLY TAKING THE LAST OF THE TOP 10 POINTS AVAILABLE IN THIS RACE AS WE JUMP ON BOARD WITH
00:20:01THE PODIUM FINISHER FROM YESTERDAY.
00:20:02BRANDO BADOWER.
00:20:03BRANDO BADOWER, BIT OF UNDERSTEER THROUGH THE ENTRY OF STAVALO AND CAMPUS.
00:20:08WE NOW HEAD ON THE LONG FLAT OUT RUN TOWARDS BLANCHIMON WHICH WILL BE FLAT OUT EVEN IN THE TOE
00:20:13EVEN WITH COLD TYRES.
00:20:15HAD A COUPLE OF LAPS IN THESE TYRES ON THE SAFETY CAR WHICH MEANS THEY MIGHT BE IN A BIT
00:20:19OF BETTER CONDITION AT THE END OF THE RACE.
00:20:20BUT MAY WELL BE A BIT CHILLY WITH THE TRACK TEMPERATURES STILL ONLY 20 DEGREES.
00:20:24WE HEAD DOWN TOWARDS THE BUSSTOP WHERE WE'LL HAVE DRS LATER ON IN THIS RACE.
00:20:28WE'VE GOT CHICKY WHO TOUCHED RIGHT UNDER THE REAR WING OF THE DRIVER IN FRONT.
00:20:31THAT IS THE 19 OF CHRISTIAN HO WHO'S LOOKING TO TAKE HIS FIRST POINTS THIS SEASON.
00:20:37ABSOLUTELY THAT. NO DRS ENABLED YETS SO WE WON'T SEE THEM PICK UP THE FIRST OF THE DRS SONES UP
00:20:43CAMPUS STRAIGHT.
00:20:45THE NEXT OF THEM IS INTO THE BUSSTOP CHECANE AND THEN DOWN THE START FINISH STRAIGHT AS WELL.
00:20:50THE RUN IN TOWARDS THE CHICANE HAS BEEN ADDED AS A DRS SONES FOR THIS YEAR.
00:20:55HERE COME THE FIELD NOW MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH ROUGE OF RADION AND NOW UP THE CAMPUS STRAIGHT WE GO
00:21:01CHRISTIAN HO.
00:21:02YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE HAVING A REALLY GOOD RACE IN THE POINTS SO FAR.
00:21:05WHAT CAN YAMAKOSHI DO OUT FRONT? CAN HE HOLD ON TO THIS LEAD?
00:21:09CAN HE BREAK THE ONE SECOND MARK TO TAPANEN WHICH WOULD RELEASE TAPANEN OF HAVING ANY DRS
00:21:16AND WOULD PUT HIM REALLY UNDER PRESSURE FROM FREDDIE SLATER A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK.
00:21:20THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER RODINS TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS THROUGH THE FIELD AND FIGHTING AWAY WITH ONE OF THE
00:21:26ART DRIVERS.
00:21:27THAT'S CLEARO PASSING CANNOTO LEAVE.
00:21:29YEAH, AND WE ALSO HAD, I THINK WE HAD BRUNA DEL PINA PASSING GIN NAKIMURA AS WELL DONE CAMEL.
00:21:35INTERESTING, YAMAKOSHI'S GOT REALLY GOOD EARLY RACE PACE.
00:21:38HE'S LOOKING LIKE HE'S ABLE TO NEARLY EXTEND THAT GAP TO BEYOND DRS RANGE TO TAPANEN.
00:21:44ALSO, SLATER I'M SURPRISED NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY WITH TAPANEN EITHER AT THE MOMENT.
00:21:48SO, HE'S IN DANGER.
00:21:49IF HE LOSES THAT TOW, THEN RIVERA'S GONNA BE GIVING HIM A LOT OF PRESSURE FROM BEHIND.
00:21:55NOW, TAPANEN HAS BEEN NOTED FOR FORTING ANOTHER DRIVER OFF THE TRACK.
00:22:02SO, THIS WAS EARLIER IN THE RACE.
00:22:04THIS WAS LAP ONE ON THE RUN THROUGH KEMEL TOWARDS LECOM ON LAP ONE.
00:22:08IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF SLATER WENT TO THE OUTSIDE FOR TWO WEEKS ON THE GRASS.
00:22:12MAYBE JUST SPOOKED A BIT BY TAPANEN.
00:22:15IT DIDN'T SCREAM TO ME LIKE THAT WAS A PENALTY INCOMING.
00:22:17BUT, OF COURSE, THE STEWARDS HAVE GOT MORE INFORMATION AND ONBOARD AND OTHER CAMERAS
00:22:21THAN WE HAVE HERE IN THE COMPANY BOX.
00:22:23YEAH, I THINK THIS WAS... YEAH, IT WAS ON THE FIRST LAP, WASN'T IT, TAPANEN?
00:22:28JUST GOING A LITTLE BIT WIDE AND THAT SAW SLATER ONTO THE GRASS.
00:22:33WE'LL SEE IF ANYTHING COMES OF IT, BUT I THINK THEY'LL BE OKAY IN THAT CASE.
00:22:37YOU CAN SEE KULNAGI LOOKING A DIFFERENT DRIVER THIS WEEKEND, ISN'T HE?
00:22:41GOT HIMSELF A PERSONAL BEST RESULT OF FOURTH PLACE YESTERDAY.
00:22:46AND KULNAGI STARTING TO FIND HIS FORM IN FORMULA THREE NOW.
00:22:49TAPANEN RIGHT WITH YAMAKOSHI. DRS IS NOW ENABLED SO HE'LL GRAB IT GOING UP THE KEMEL STRAIGHT THIS TIME.
00:22:55AND I THINK WE COULD SEE A CHALLENGE FOR THE LEAD IN COMING FROM THE FINISH DRIVER.
00:23:00YEAH, FOUR-TENTHS IS ABOUT PRIME STRIKING RANGE.
00:23:02WE SAW ON THE FIRST LAP YAMAKOSHI DID THAT CLEVER LIFT UP OROGEN RADION TO NOT BE TOO CLOSE.
00:23:07BECAUSE YOU WON A NICE SLING SHOT AS YOU HEAD FLAT OUT UPHILL, CONTINUALLY UP KEMEL.
00:23:14DRS... NOT ENABLED.
00:23:15HE'S ENABLED.
00:23:16YEAH, HE'S CLOSING IN.
00:23:17TAPANEN'S CLOSE.
00:23:18ALSO LOOK FURTHER BACK.
00:23:19THAT'S ANESSA RIVERA LOOKING AT THE BACK OF SLATER.
00:23:21NOW HE MOVES THIS LAP FOR THE TOP FIVE.
00:23:22NO, BUT TAPANEN WAS RIGHT THERE, WASN'T HE?
00:23:25AND SLATER UNDER PRESSURE THERE FROM RIVERA AS WELL.
00:23:29THEN WE HAVE KULNAGI, STROMSTED, GUADISH CARTO, CHRISTIAN HO.
00:23:32GOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON UGO UGOCHIKU IN 10TH PLACE.
00:23:36HE'S OUR CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER.
00:23:37SECOND IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS SLATER.
00:23:40AND WE'RE HEARING HE HAS JUST GAINED A POSITION ON CHRISTIAN HO FOR P9.
00:23:45LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT IT NOW.
00:23:46YEAH, ON BOARD.
00:23:47WE'RE GOING UPHILL.
00:23:48WE'VE JUST GONE THROUGH ORIGEN RADION.
00:23:50DRS OPEN UNDER THE REAR WING.
00:23:51THEN USING THE TOW.
00:23:53CHRISTIAN HO DEFENDS.
00:23:54UGOCHIKU GOES TO THE OUTSIDE.
00:23:55EVERY POSITION THAT UGOCHIKU MAKES IN THIS RACE IS A POINT OR TWO AS WE GET HIGHER UP THE
00:24:01ORDER CLOSER TO SLATER IN TERMS OF CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:24:04AND AS I SAID EARLIER ON, AS THINGS STAND, UGOCHIKU ONLY JUST WOULD HOLD THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD.
00:24:09BUT STILL PLENTY OF RACING TO COME.
00:24:11WE'RE GETTING TOWARDS THE BUSINESS END OF THE SEASON AS WELL.
00:24:15THIS IS ROUND 6 OF 9.
00:24:18WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL FEATURE RACE AT THE MADERING AS WELL AT THE FINAL ROUND AND AN ADDITIONAL
00:24:22QUALIFYING SESSION
00:24:23WHICH GIVES US 28 POINTS AVAILABLE MORE.
00:24:27AND THEY'LL HAVE AN IN-SEASON TEST THERE TO GET THEIR HEADS AROUND THE CIRCUIT.
00:24:31STILL PLENTY OF POINTS AVAILABLE, BUT THIS DOUBLE HEADER COULD REALLY START TO SEE WHO IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER.
00:24:38SLATER RIGHT BEHIND TAPANIN.
00:24:41NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE A MOVE.
00:24:42GOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON RIVERA AS WELL.
00:24:45HE'S BEEN DRIVING REALLY WELL THIS SEASON IN HIS DEBUT SEASON IN FORMULA 3.
00:24:50KORNAGI RIGHT WITH HIM, THEN IT'S STROMSTEAD WHO WON THE SPRINT RACE HERE LAST YEAR AS THEY HEAD TOWARDS LA
00:24:56SAUCE ONE MORE TIME.
00:24:58LOOKING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK, THIS IS THE TWO ROADINS OF HO AND BADOWARE FIGHTING FOR THE LAST POINTS
00:25:04AVAILABLE.
00:25:05AND IT LOOKS LIKE BADOWARE HAS GONE BY.
00:25:07CHRISTIAN HO NOW DROPPING OUT OF THE TOP 10 SIDE BY SIDE DOWN TO AUROUGE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN
00:25:13THIS RACE, SHALL WE?
00:25:14IT'S GIUSTI VERSUS ONE OF THE VAN AMERSFORTS THERE OF DELPINO.
00:25:18OH, AND GIUSTI GOING OFF.
00:25:19COMING UP THE CLIMB THROUGH RADION THERE.
00:25:22REJOINS ON THE CAMEL STRAIGHT.
00:25:24AND NOW FREDDIE SLATER IS GOING TO GET ONE STEP CLOSER TO RIE TAKING THE LEAD OF THE RACE AS
00:25:29HE GOES BY TAPANEN.
00:25:30YEAH, INTERESTING AS WE'VE GOT MORE BATTLING FURTHER BACK.
00:25:33A LOCK UP, I THINK, FROM CHRISTIAN HOES.
00:25:35NO, THAT WAS THE 17 AND PEDRO CLEARO FURTHER BACK THE THIRD OF THE ROAD INS.
00:25:39WE HEAD THROUGH.
00:25:40OH, MALMADY SIDE BY SIDE.
00:25:42JUST ABOUT HOLDING ON AND GOING.
00:25:44THIS JIN NAKIMURA YESTERDAY SPRINT RACE WINNER HOLDING OFF THE 16.
00:25:48I THINK THAT'S, WAS IT THE 90?
00:25:50DEL PINO IS GETTING INVOLVED THERE.
00:25:52WE'VE ALSO GOT WARNINGS FOR LEAVING THE TRACK AND GAINING AN ADVANTAGE.
00:25:55THAT WARTON, WARTON YESTERDAY GOT SIX OR SEVEN OR EIGHT SHOT LIMIT PENALTIES.
00:26:00SO HE NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT LEAVING THE CIRCUIT TODAY.
00:26:03YEAH, WE LOST COUNT IN THE END, DIDN'T WE?
00:26:04HE TOOK A PENALTY FOR THAT AT THE END OF THE RACE.
00:26:09HE HAS LAP SEVEN NOW.
00:26:11WE'RE ALREADY GETTING TOWARDS HALF RACE DISTANCE HERE.
00:26:14AND FASTEST LAP HAS BEEN SET BY UGO PRANDO-BADUER.
00:26:17NOT HAPPY WITH HIS TEAMMATE CHRISTIAN HOE THERE.
00:26:22SO JUST GETTING ON THE PHONE TO HIS TEAM TO LET HIM KNOW,
00:26:25ABOUT THAT.
00:26:26BUT NOW SLATER IS BY TAPANEN.
00:26:29IT WILL BE EYES ON HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:26:32HE'LL WANT THAT FULL 25 POINTS NOW.
00:26:34UGO HAS GOT TO GET TO THE TOP FIVE TO GUARANTEE HIMSELF THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD.
00:26:39SO THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE FOR THE BRITISH DRIVER TO TAKE NOT ONLY HIS FIRST WIN,
00:26:44BUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD WITH IT.
00:26:46AND FREDDIE SLATER LOOKS VERY QUICK ON THIS LAP.
00:26:48LOOK AT THE GAP.
00:26:49HE'S CLOSED TO HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:26:51HE'LL HAVE DRS TO LA SAUCE AND THEN UP THE CAMEL STRAIGHT AS WELL.
00:26:54YEAH, REALISTICALLY WITH SLATER, IF HE WANTS TO LEAVE THIS WEEKEND AS CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER,
00:26:58NOW THAT UGOCHIKU IS INSIDE THE POINT, HE NEEDS TO WIN THIS RACE.
00:27:02HE WANTS TO WIN THIS RACE FOR HIS OWN CONFIDENCE AS WELL.
00:27:05PODIUM SO MANY TIMES THIS YEAR IN FEATURE RACES, NOT TASTED THE TOP STEP CHAMPAGNE QUITE YET.
00:27:11BUT ISN'T IT INTERESTING?
00:27:12A COUPLE OF LAPS TO GO, SLATER WAS ALMOST LOSING TOUCH OF TAPANEN.
00:27:15THEN LAST TIME AROUND, SLATER PASSED TAPANEN.
00:27:18NOW APPLYING THE PRESSURE ON THE BACK OF HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:27:23THIS LOOKS VERY CLOSE.
00:27:24THIS LOOKS LIKE A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR SLATER.
00:27:27THE FIRST ONE HE'LL GET TO RETAKE THAT LEAD.
00:27:29HE'S CLOSING IN WITH THE DRS.
00:27:31HIYU YAMAKOSHI HAS LEFT THE DOOR OPEN,
00:27:34AND FREDDIE SLATER WILL STEP RIGHT THROUGH IT AND INTO THE LEAD OF THE RACE.
00:27:37THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SAYS THE AUDI JUNIOR.
00:27:39HE'S GONE THROUGH. HIYU YAMAKOSHI NOT APPEARING TO FIGHT THAT ONE TOO HARD.
00:27:43I WONDER IF THERE'S SOME TACTICS THERE FROM YAMAKOSHI
00:27:45TO SAY, I'LL GRAB THE DRS BACK FROM YOU.
00:27:48THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND GO FOR THE LEAD LATER IN THE RACE.
00:27:51YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK THAT'S GOOD TACTICAL DRIVING FROM YAMAKOSHI THERE.
00:27:53SOME OF YOU AT HOME MIGHT BE GOING, WELL, I DIDN'T HE DEFEND?
00:27:56WELL, SLATER HAD SUCH AN OVERSPEED.
00:27:57WOULD HAVE MADE IT THROUGH INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, I THINK,
00:28:00AND YAMAKOSHI KNEW THAT BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY DRIVER IN THE TOP 15 POSITIONS
00:28:04THAT DIDN'T HAVE IT, IN FACT, TOP DRIVER.
00:28:06IT'S DRS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO JOSE GARFIA'S IN 25TH PLACE.
00:28:10BUT HE WAS THINKING, IF I DEFEND, I'M THEN GOING TO HAVE DIRTY TYRES
00:28:13AND POTENTIALLY GOING TO BE OUT OF POSITION GOING THROUGH LAYCOM.
00:28:15I'LL THEN BE UNDER PRESSURE FROM TAFFER AND RIVERA, KONNAGI,
00:28:19AND THEN THAT WILL LET SLATER RUN AWAY.
00:28:20WHEREAS IF I JUST SLOT BACK IN, I'M GOING TO BE IN THE POUND SEAT
00:28:23TO RETAKE SLATER AND DO EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO ME THE LAP PREVIOUS NEXT TIME BY.
00:28:28WE'VE SEEN THAT YAMAKOSHI IS A THINKING DRIVER ALREADY THIS RACE,
00:28:32LIFTING OFF OF WHAT IS NORMALLY AN EASILY FLAT OUT AURUGE AND RADIO
00:28:36ON THE FIRST LAP TO PUT HIMSELF IN PRIME POSITION.
00:28:38LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THIS SLATER OVERTAKE AGAIN FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE.
00:28:41SO YOU CAN SEE YAMAKOSHI LOOKED IN HIS MIRRORS, HE KNOWS SLATER'S THERE.
00:28:45HE STAYS ON THE RACING LINE, LIFT OFF A LITTLE EARLY ACTUALLY
00:28:47JUST TO ALLOW SLATER AN EASY PASS SO THAT THEN LATER ON HE CAN CONTINUE TO FIGHT.
00:28:53IT'S LOSING THE BATTLE TO WIN THE WALL THERE.
00:28:55YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
00:28:56YOU CAN SEE HE'S GOT THE PACE.
00:28:57HE STAYED WITH HIM FAIRLY COMFORTABLY ON THIS LAP.
00:29:00I THINK YAMAKOSHI WANTS THE DRS.
00:29:03YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A CUE OF DRIVERS BEHIND TAPANEN IN 3RD PLACE.
00:29:06RIVERA IN 4TH KILL, NAGI IN 5TH PLACE.
00:29:09WHAT AN EXCITING BATTLE WE HAVE AHEAD OF US.
00:29:12AND WE'VE GOT TO KEEP ONE EYE ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER
00:29:15WHO'S CURRENTLY IN 9TH PLACE AS IT STANDS.
00:29:17HE'LL SCORE THREE POINTS, TWO FOR 9TH PLACE, AN ADDITIONAL POINT FOR FASTEST LAP.
00:29:22BUT HE'S GOT TO GET TO THE TOP FIVE TO GUARANTEE THAT CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD.
00:29:26ON BOARD THEN WITH YAMAKOSHI.
00:29:28THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE GOING THROUGH AUROUGE AND RADION IN A FORMULA 3 CAR.
00:29:32AND NOW HE'LL HAVE THE DRS ALL THE WAY UP TOWARDS LAKOM.
00:29:36WILL THIS ALLOW HIM TO RETAKE THE LEAD FROM FREDDIE SLATER?
00:29:39LET'S FIND OUT.
00:29:40BEHIND THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHANGE IN THE PODIUM POSITIONS.
00:29:43BECAUSE ERNESTO RIVERA IN THE NUMBER THREE.
00:29:45IT'S GONE DOWN THE INSIDE AT LAKOM.
00:29:46AND IT'S PICKED UP FRONT WING DAMAGE THERE ON HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:29:50IT LOOKED LIKE HE'D GONE JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO DEEP GOING DOWN THE INSIDE.
00:29:53AND THINGS JUST BUNCHED UP ALL OF A SUDDEN.
00:29:55IT CAUGHT OUT RIVERA.
00:29:57AND NOW HE'S GOT SUBTLE FRONT WING DAMAGE.
00:30:00AROUND THE OUTSIDE LOOKS MATCHE GUADISH ON STROMSTEAD.
00:30:04BUT ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT SLATER JUST GOT A GOOD ENOUGH EXIT OUT OF THE SOURCE
00:30:08THAT YAMAKOSHI WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH TO RETAKE THE RACE LEAD.
00:30:12AND THEN WE ALSO...
00:30:14I WAS ABOUT TO SAY ONESA RIVERA MIGHT BE A DARK HORSE IN THIS ONE.
00:30:17WE'VE SEEN HOW QUICK HE IS AS HE'S JOINED THE CHAMPIONSHIP ONE RACE LATER THAN EVERYONE ELSE
00:30:21AFTER AN INJURY PRE-SEASON WITH THE CAMPOS TEAM WHO ARE SO STRONG AT THIS STAGE.
00:30:26HE COULD BE A LATE RACE CHARGER.
00:30:28A GREAT MOVE UP THE INSIDE.
00:30:29REALLY GOOD OVERSPEED BUT JUST OVERSCHOOTING.
00:30:32THAT LITTLE BIT OF FRONT WING DAMAGE WON'T BE THE END OF THE WORLD.
00:30:34THE WHOLE FRONT WING BEAM IS STILL INTACT.
00:30:36THE END PLATES DON'T DO A HUGE AMOUNT BUT THEY DO A LITTLE BIT.
00:30:39SO HE'LL BE MAYBE STRUGGLEING WITH IT JUST A BIT MORE UNDER STEER THAN HE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE DONE
00:30:42WITHOUT THAT.
00:30:43YELLOW FLAG OUT SOMEWHERE ON THE CIRCUIT.
00:30:47WE'LL SEE IF ANYONE GOES DOWN THE ORDER.
00:30:51LET'S HAVE A LOOK BACK AT THIS FIRST THOUGH PISS.
00:30:52YEAH SO YAMAKOSHI NOT CLOSE ENOUGH WHICH IS WHY SLATER DEFENS.
00:30:55THEN HERE GOES ANESTA RIVERA BRAKING SO LATE ON THE INSIDE.
00:30:58YAMAKOSHI ACTUALLY VERY VERY CLEVER DRIVING.
00:31:00HE WENT WIDE OF THE APEX AT LAYCOMM THE FIRST RIGHT HANDER BECAUSE HE COULD SEE ANESTA RIVERA WAS COMING
00:31:07IN HOT
00:31:08AND JUST ABOUT GOT AWAY WITH IT.
00:31:10I THINK YAMAKOSHI SHOULD BE OKAY NOW.
00:31:13IT LOOKS LIKE YAMAKOSHI A BIT CLOSER THIS TIME TO SLATER.
00:31:15SO SLATER IS GOING TO BE UNDER EVEN MORE PRESSURE.
00:31:18LOOK AT THIS NOSE TO TELL ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE TOP 10.
00:31:20YEAH ALL AVOORT THE DRS TRAIN WHICH IS BEING LED BY FREDDIE SLATER.
00:31:24BRIEF YELLOW FLAG TO CLEAR UP THAT DEBRI.
00:31:26AND TAPANEN'S GONE WIDE ON THE EXIT OF LAS AUCE.
00:31:28AND KULNAGI IS GOING TO SNEAK THROUGH ON THE INSIDE THERE AS THEY HEAD DOWN TO AUROUGE.
00:31:34GOOD DRIVING FROM KULNAGI.
00:31:35BUT THAT'S A REALLY COSTLY MISTAKE.
00:31:37AND IS THIS GOING TO BREAK UP THE LEAD PACK?
00:31:39I WONDER.
00:31:39TAPANEN RIGHT BEHIND KULNAGI.
00:31:42IF IT DOES IT WILL BE THE PODIUM FINISHERS ALL AHEAD.
00:31:45AND WE'LL HAVE A BATTLE FOR FOURTH AND RIVERA ON THE MOVE.
00:31:48ONCE AGAIN UP TOWARDS LAKOM.
00:31:50AND HE'S GONNA GO THROUGH HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:31:52WHO DOESN'T FIGHT IT HARD.
00:31:53WHOA KULNAGI SENDS IT ON TAPANEN THERE.
00:31:57AGGRESSIVE MOVE AND HE'S GONE THROUGH TO FOURTH.
00:31:59NOAH STROMSTEDT WOULD HAVE ENJOYED THAT ONE FROM BEHIND.
00:32:01OH WELL.
00:32:02I SAY THAT HE'S JUST BEEN PASSED BY MATCHE GUADISH.
00:32:04WHAT AN OPPORTUNIOUS MOVE FROM MATCHE GUADISH ON THE INSIDE OF MALMODY.
00:32:07THAT DOESN'T OFTEN WORK THERE AS TAITOKATO,
00:32:09THE SECOND OF THE ART'S LOOKING AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF STROMSTEDT THERE.
00:32:13THAT WAS INTERESTING AGAIN THAT RIVERA SEEMS TO HAVE REALLY GOOD TOP-END SPEED,
00:32:17DOESN'T HE?
00:32:17HE NEARLY PASSED TWO CARS LAST TIME.
00:32:20PASSES RIVERA.
00:32:21NOW SLATER I THINK IS A BIGGER CHALLENGE ON HIS HANDS NEXT TIME WE GO UP TO LAKOM.
00:32:24YEAH, HE CAN DO HIS TEAMMATE A FAVOR HERE.
00:32:26HE IS A FELLOW CAMPOS DRIVER.
00:32:28MIGHT NOT BE IN THAT WHITE LIVERY THAT WE KNOW OF CAMPOS
00:32:32BECAUSE HE HAS THE SUPPORT OF THE RED BALL TEAM.
00:32:35HE'S PART OF THE RED BALL JUNIOR PROGRAM.
00:32:37UGO'S HAD A FAIRLY QUIET RACE SO FAR, HASN'T HE, PIERCE?
00:32:40IS HE WAITING, DO YOU THINK, FOR LATER IN THE RACE,
00:32:44OR IS IT JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE IN A DRS TRAIN?
00:32:46I THINK IT'S A BIT OF A DRS TRAIN, BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SAID THIS, CHRIS,
00:32:49AT HALFWAY STAGES AND FEATURE RACES?
00:32:50WE'RE LIKE, OH, THE CAMPOSES HAVEN'T DONE MUCH.
00:32:52AND THEN, TOWARDS THE END OF THE RACE, THEY JUST SIDE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FIELD.
00:32:55THEY'RE SO CLEVER AT CONSERVING THEIR TIES IN THE FIRST HALF
00:32:58AND SAVING THEIR BEST PACE FOR WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS FALLING AWAY.
00:33:02IT WAS NIAL AND UGOCHIKI THAT WERE CUTTING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FIELD IN THE FEATURE,
00:33:05WASN'T IT, AS SILVERSTONE LAST TIME AGO.
00:33:07WE HEAD TOWARDS THE FIRST OF OUR THREE BACK-TO-BACK DRS ZONES,
00:33:11DOWN TOWARDS THE BUS STOP.
00:33:12NO MOVES THIS TIME BY, BUT IT'S ALL EYES TOWARDS LAKOM.
00:33:15YEAH, I THINK WE COULD SEE A CHANGE FOR THE LEAD THIS TIME.
00:33:17RIVERA IS RIGHT WITH SLATER.
00:33:19THEY'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL OF TRACK LIMITS ON THE EXIT OF THE FINAL CHICANE THERE,
00:33:25BUT RIVERA IS RIGHT WITH HIM INTO LA SAUCE NOW.
00:33:28YAMAKOSH, HE'S STILL THERE.
00:33:30HE HASN'T FOUGHT THE TWO POSITIONS HE HAS LOST TO DROP TO THIRD TOO HARD AT ALL.
00:33:36I THINK HE'S PLAYING THE LONG GAME IN THIS RACE.
00:33:38THEN A BIT OF A GAP BACK TO KILNAGI AFTER TAPANEN RAN WIDE OUT OF LA SAUCE.
00:33:42AND TAPANEN IS NOW UNDER PRESSURE FROM MATCHE GUADISH,
00:33:45WHO JUST PULLED OFF A REALLY GOOD MOVE ON NOAH STROMSTED INTO MALMEDY.
00:33:49AND GUADISH WANTS ANOTHER POSITION RIGHT BEHIND TAPANEN.
00:33:52UP THE CAMEL STRAIGHT NOW, BUT LOOK TO THE TWO LEADERS.
00:33:55SLATER IS HAVING TO DEFEND.
00:33:57HERE COMES ERNESTA RIVERA TO THE OUTSIDE.
00:33:59IS HE GOING TO FIGHT IT ROUND THE OUTSIDE?
00:34:01NO, DOESN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THIS TIME.
00:34:03BUT IN THE BACKGROUND, THE BLACK AND RED ART OF GUADISH HAS GONE BY TAPANEN.
00:34:07AND TITO CARTA, I THINK, WENT PAST STROMSTED AS WELL.
00:34:11SO THE ART IS ON THE MOVE.
00:34:13GUADISH WAS SO AGGRESSIVE AT SILVERSTONE.
00:34:15EVENTUALLY PUT HIMSELF INTO FOURTH PLACE, WHICH TURNED INTO THIRD.
00:34:18AND THEN EVENTUALLY WAS THE FEATURE RACE WIN.
00:34:20CHRIS, ANOTHER CHANGE?
00:34:20YEAH, UGO'S JUST LOST 9TH PLACE TO ALESSANDRO GIUSTI.
00:34:24THERE, THE MP DRIVER.
00:34:26WILLIAMS JUNIOR HAS GONE BY.
00:34:27SO THAT'S LOST HIM.
00:34:29AND ANOTHER POINT, AS IT STANDS, HE WILL SCORE THE ONE POINT FOR 10TH
00:34:32AND THE ADDITIONAL FOR FASTEST LAP.
00:34:34AS LONG AS HE STAYS WITHIN THE TOP 10, YOU'VE GOT TO BE WITHIN THE TOP 10
00:34:38TO GET THAT FASTEST LAP POINT.
00:34:40OTHERWISE IT GOES TO THE FASTEST LAP WITHIN THE TOP 10.
00:34:43SO UGO IN DANGER HERE.
00:34:46BADUER IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM IN 11TH PLACE.
00:34:48LET'S SEE HOW THIS HAPPEN.
00:34:50HERE WE GO.
00:34:50LOOKING FURTHER AT THE BACK OF THE SHOT.
00:34:52WE CAN SEE ANESTO RIVERA.
00:34:54THIS IS WHERE HE GOT PAST YOU, YAMAKOSH.
00:34:55THIS IS A COUPLE OF LAPS TO GO, I THINK.
00:34:57AND THEN ALSO WE SAW SIDE BY SIDE, TAPANEN AND KOLNAGI.
00:35:00AND THAT WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT FROM GUADISH.
00:35:03WATCH GUADISH HERE.
00:35:04WATCH GUADISH IN THE ART.
00:35:05THE BLACK ART.
00:35:06STROMSTEDT IN THE WHITE AND BLUE.
00:35:07OH, WHAT A MOVE.
00:35:09ROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF LAKON.
00:35:10PUTS HIM ON THE INSIDE FOR MALMODY.
00:35:13OPPORTUNIST DRIVE.
00:35:13AGAIN, REALLY GOOD RACECRAFT FROM MATCH GUADISH, OUR ROOKIE IN THE ART CAR.
00:35:19RIGHT.
00:35:20RIVERA.
00:35:20JUST SAYING HELLO TO FREDDIE.
00:35:22SLATER.
00:35:23THIS IS STARTING TO GET VERY CLOSE NOW.
00:35:25WE'RE INTO THE BUSINESS END OF THE RACE.
00:35:27AND SLATER IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT VERY HARD IF HE WANTS HIS FIRST WIN.
00:35:32ANESSA RIVERA HAS BEEN ON THE TOP STEP BEFORE THIS SEASON.
00:35:35HIYU YAMAKOSHI WANTS HIS FIRST WIN AS WELL.
00:35:37AND THEN MATIAKO NAGI, HE GOT A PERSONAL BEST RESULT OF THE SEASON.
00:35:41A FOURTH YESTERDAY.
00:35:43HIS FIRST RETURN TO THE POINTS SINCE THE FIRST ROUND.
00:35:45BUT MATCH GUADISH KNOWS HOW IT FEELS TO WIN A RACE.
00:35:49HE WON AT SILVERSTONE OF CURE.
00:35:52SO LET'S SEE WHAT HE CAN DO IN P5.
00:35:54THE POLISH DRIVER.
00:35:54LET'S RIDE ON BOARD WITH HIM NOW.
00:35:56ALL THE WAY UP TOWARDS LAKER.
00:35:58WE'RE FLAT OUT FOR SO LONG NOW.
00:35:59LOOK AT THE FRONT LEFT TIRES.
00:36:00WE'VE ACTUALLY GOT A CHALLENGE FOR THE LEAD ALREADY.
00:36:02THAT'S RIVERA ALONGSIDE FOR THE LEAD.
00:36:05YEAH, ANESTO RIVERA USING THE DRS TO GO BY FREDDIE SLATER.
00:36:09WHO'S SIMILAR TO HIYU YAMAKASHI.
00:36:11DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN DEFENSE THERE.
00:36:12IT WAS THE OVERSPEED FOR RIVERA THAT'S TOOK HIM THROUGH.
00:36:15AND NOW THIS IS GIUSTI MOVING UP THE ORDER ONCE AGAIN.
00:36:18HE HAS GONE BY STROMSTED.
00:36:20WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HUGO?
00:36:21HE'S DROPPED DOWN TO 13th PLACE.
00:36:23SO HUGO, I THINK, HAS MADE A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.
00:36:26HE'S LOST PLACES TO BADUER, NAKIMURA AND DEL PINO AS WELL.
00:36:30SO SOMEONE RUNNING A LITTLE BIT WIDE OUT OF MALMODY THAT TIME.
00:36:34AND CHRISTIAN HO REALLY STRUGGLING IN THIS RACE.
00:36:36HE WAS ONCE IN THE TOP 10.
00:36:38HE'S NOW DOWN TO 24TH.
00:36:40AND RIVERA HAS ABSOLUTELY PULLED THE PIN SINCE TAKING THE LEAD FROM SLATER.
00:36:44RIVERA, AS YOU MENTIONED CHRIS, AS SOON AS HE GOT PASSED,
00:36:47HE'S ALREADY PULLED 8-10THS AND CONTINUES TO PUSH ON.
00:36:50SLATER NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL HERE.
00:36:51BECAUSE IF HE LOSES THE TOE TO RIVERA, RIVERA WILL RUN AWAY WITH THIS.
00:36:55AND THEN LOOK, THE GAP HAS GONE TO A SECOND.
00:36:57WILL SLATER EVEN HAVE DRS DOWN TOWARDS THE BUS STOP?
00:37:00YEAH, NO.
00:37:011.2 IS THE GAP.
00:37:03RIVERA IS GONE.
00:37:04FREDY SLATER JUST DOES NOT HAVE THE TIES UNDERNEATH HIM, I DON'T THINK,
00:37:08BECAUSE RIVERA IS THROUGH INTO THE LEAD.
00:37:12LET'S WATCH BACK WHAT HAPPENED.
00:37:13IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRISTIAN HO, THE 19?
00:37:18WELL, HE RAN WIDE THERE, DIDN'T HE?
00:37:20AND THEN THAT WAS THE 29 OF NICOLA LECORTE.
00:37:23SNEAKING THROUGH ON THE INSIDE.
00:37:25LET'S FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO UGO.
00:37:26SO UGO HAD TO GO DEFENSIVE DOWN TOWARDS THE SOURCE,
00:37:29POTENTIALLY A PORREX OUT OF THE BUS STOP.
00:37:30WHO'S ON HIS INSIDE?
00:37:31THAT IS JIN NAKIMURA AND THE 16 OF FUNA DELTINO.
00:37:35SO THAT'S HOW WE LOST THOSE TWO POSITIONS.
00:37:37AND THEN I IMAGINE THESE TWO GOING SIDE BY SIDE THROUGH
00:37:39ROUGE AND RADION WILL HAVE COST HIM TIME.
00:37:41YOU CAN SEE UGO CHUKU'S HANDS OFF THE STEERING
00:37:42OF FRUSTRATION FOR UGO CHUKU.
00:37:44HE KNOWS HIS CHAMPIONSHIP RIVAL UP THE FRONT OF THE FIELD
00:37:47IS SCORING BIG POINTS.
00:37:48AND THE GAP, 1.3.
00:37:50RIVERA TO SLATER.
00:37:52SLATER IS NOW GOING TO BE UNDER PRESSURE FROM HIYU YAMAKOSHI
00:37:54ONCE AGAIN, BUT IT'S NO LONGER FOR THE LEAD.
00:37:57IT'S FOR SECOND PLACE.
00:37:58IF FREDDIE SLATER LOSES SECOND,
00:38:00HE WON'T TAKE THE LEAD OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:38:02HE'LL CLOSE THE GAP TO A SINGLE POINT.
00:38:05SO HIYU YAMAKOSHI COULD CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP
00:38:09WITH THIS MOVE AS IT STANDS.
00:38:10FREDDIE WOULD TAKE THE LEAD OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP,
00:38:12BUT HE'LL LOSE THREE POINTS IF HE LOSES A PLACE TO HIYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:38:16AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:38:19YAMAKOSHI MAKES THE MOVE DOWN THE INSIDE,
00:38:21AND UGO WILL RETAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD AS IT STANDS,
00:38:25BUT WE STILL HAVE TWO AND A HALF LAPS TO GO IN THIS RACE,
00:38:28AND IT COULD GET WORSE FOR SLATER
00:38:30BECAUSE KILNAGI AND GUADISH ARE CLOSING IN ON THE BRITISH DRIVER.
00:38:34DO YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS COULD BE TYRES.
00:38:35THIS COULD BE TYRE MANAGEMENT.
00:38:36WE'RE ON BOARD THERE WITH HIMYU YAMAKOSHI.
00:38:39HIS TYRES ARE PRETTY CLEAN,
00:38:40AND WHEN WE'RE ON BOARD WITH SLATER A LAP OR SO BEFORE,
00:38:42HIS LEFT FRONT TIRE ESPECIALLY LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOT GRAINING.
00:38:46YOU CAN SEE IT EVEN, THERE'S A DARKER BAND ON IT,
00:38:48WHICH MEANS MAYBE HE HASN'T GOT THE TIRE THAT HE WANTS AT THE MOMENT,
00:38:51HASN'T GOT THE GRIP OF THE DRIVERS AROUND.
00:38:52HE PUSHED MAYBE A BIT TOO HARD, A BIT TOO SOON
00:38:55TO CAUSE THAT TIRE TO GO OFF,
00:38:56AND HIS TEAMMATE OF STROMSTED ALSO SIMILARLY GRAINING.
00:39:00SO THOSE TRIDENTS CLEARLY FAST AT THE START OF THE RACE,
00:39:03MAYBE PUSH THOSE TIREES A BIT HARD,
00:39:04AND IT MAY WELL CLEAR UP.
00:39:05AND SLATER MIGHT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A LATE RACE PUSH,
00:39:08BUT WE'VE ONLY GOT A LAP AND A HALF REMAINING, CHRIS.
00:39:11ABSOLUTELY, THAT IS NOT A LONG WAY TO GO IN THIS RACE,
00:39:14BUT YAMAKOSHI SEEMS TO HAVE THE PACE UNDERNEATH HIM.
00:39:18HE'S JUST CLOSED THE GAP SLIGHTLY TO RIVERA.
00:39:21LET'S SEE IF HE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,
00:39:23BUT CERTAINLY FREDDIE SLATER APPEARS TO BE DROPPING BACK.
00:39:26HAS YAMAKOSHI TAKEN A PATIENT APPROACH TO THIS RACE?
00:39:29IS HE NOW GOING TO CLOSE IN ON RIVERA?
00:39:31THIS ONE MIGHT NOT BE OVER JUST YET,
00:39:34BUT SLATER'S GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIS MIRRORS,
00:39:36BECAUSE THESE TWO APPEAR TO BE WORKING TOGETHER.
00:39:39KILNAGI AND GUADISH,
00:39:41AND THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY UP TOWARDS A FIGHT FOR THE PODIUM.
00:39:44WHOA, SELLS THE DUMMY.
00:39:45ONE OF THE, UH, THAT'S BADUARE TRYING TO GO BY GYUSTI.
00:39:48GYUSTI RUNNING WIDE.
00:39:50BADUARE SHOULD GET THE CUT BACK ON THE EXIT,
00:39:52AND THEY'LL BE RIGHT TOGETHER DOWN TO LA SAUCE.
00:39:54IT'S JIN NAKIMURA IN THE SILVER HIGH TECH.
00:39:56OUR WINNER YESTERDAY THERE IN 10TH PLACE NOW AS WELL.
00:40:00AND HERE COMES JIN NAKIMURA WITH A BIG SEND TO THE INSIDE.
00:40:03THEY'VE BOTH GONE DOWN THE INSIDE OF GYUSTI,
00:40:05WHO'S GONNA GET THE CUT BACK ON THE EXIT.
00:40:08AND IT'S BADUARE NOW AHEAD OF GYUSTI AND NAKIMURA.
00:40:11OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:40:11THIS THREE ARE DOING BATTLE, GOING, YOU KNOW,
00:40:14TEARING LUMPS OUT OF EACH OTHER.
00:40:15THAT WAS ACTUALLY BADUARE DEFENDING FROM NAKIMURA,
00:40:18WHICH MEANT HE ACCIDENTLY PASSED GYUSTI.
00:40:21AND, HEY, HE KEPT THE POSITION, SO IF IT WORKS, IT WORKS.
00:40:24ABSOLUTELY SO.
00:40:25I DON'T THINK GYUSTI WAS EXPECTING THAT AT ALL,
00:40:27BUT HE'LL NOW TAKE THE DRS UP CAMPBELL STRAIGHT.
00:40:31AND WILL HE BE ABLE TO USE THIS TO GET BACK THROUGH?
00:40:34HE'S CERTAINLY GOING TO GIVE IT A GO.
00:40:35YES, AROUND THE OUTSIDE.
00:40:36REALLY NICE STUFF IN THE BACKGROUND THERE.
00:40:38OH, AND NAKIMURA NOW GOING BY BADUARE AS WELL.
00:40:42IN THE BACKGROUND, WE HAD A CHANGE WITH ONE OF THE BANAMA SPORTS AS WELL,
00:40:45DEL PINO GOING BY STROMSTEN.
00:40:47YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT BATTLE WE'VE HAD.
00:40:49ULTIMATELY EVERYONE'S PRETTY MUCH ENDED UP WHERE THEY STARTED,
00:40:51BUT THEY'VE LOST A LOT OF TIME TO THE DRIVERS AHEAD.
00:40:53IT'S ACTUALLY TAFFENEN DIRECTLY UP AHEAD.
00:40:55TAFFENEN HAS JUST SORT OF GRADUALLY DROPPED DOWN THE ORDER IN THIS RACE,
00:40:58HASN'T HE?
00:40:58HASN'T HAD THE PACE OF THE MPs, THE TRIDENTS OF THE BANAMA SPORTS.
00:41:02ENZO DELIGNI, FIVE SECOND TIME FENALTY TRACK LIMITS.
00:41:04AND TERFILLE NIL, WHO MADE A PIT STOP FOR FRONT WING,
00:41:08HAS JUST GONE BY YUGO UGACHIKU.
00:41:10AND THAT SHOWS YOU THE FALL-OFF HE'S HAD IN THIS RACE.
00:41:13AND TERFILLE NIL, CLIMBING UP THE ORDER, I THINK,
00:41:16JUST WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TRY AND GET TOWARDS THE TOP 10.
00:41:20AND SOMEONE RUNNING REALLY WIDE UP AHEAD, I THINK, IS THAT CLARO.
00:41:24THAT'S BADUER, ISN'T IT?
00:41:26RUNNING A LITTLE BIT WIDE UP AHEAD.
00:41:27WE'RE SEEING SOME BIG TIRE DROP-OFFS HERE.
00:41:29WE WERE ON BOARD WITH STROMSTED.
00:41:30HE REALLY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS FIGHTING THAT TRIDENT.
00:41:33AND IF HIS CAR IS ANYTHING LIKE SLATER'S UNDERNEATH HIM,
00:41:35THEN THAT'S WHY SLATER'S FALLING OFF THE BACK.
00:41:37BECAUSE THE GRAINING THAT WE'RE SEEING ON THOSE TRIDENT CARS,
00:41:40ESPECIALLY, IS MEANING THEY'RE STRUGGLING.
00:41:42THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH GRAINING.
00:41:43THE MPs HAVE GOT GRAINING AS WELL.
00:41:45GRAINING IS WHERE THE SEARCH OF THE TIRE BASICALLY STARTS
00:41:47TEARING UP AND BEING SUB-OPTIMAL FOR GRIP.
00:41:51YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE DARK BANDS ON THE TIRE THERE.
00:41:53THE DRIVERS HAVEN'T GOT THAT.
00:41:55THEY'LL HAVE MORE GRIP.
00:41:56AND UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE TRIDENTS HAVE GOOD PACE OVER ONE LAP.
00:42:03THE BACK OF THE DRIVER AT HEAD TRYING TO KEEP HOLD OF THE CAR
00:42:06WILL ALSO MAKE POSITIONS.
00:42:07NOW SLATER IS UNDER REAL PRESSURE HERE IN THIRD.
00:42:10KORNAGI IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM.
00:42:13THE BATTLE FOR THE PODIUM INCREDIBLY CLOSE.
00:42:16KORNAGI IS NOT ALONE EITHER.
00:42:18HE'S GOT GRADISH ONE TO GO.
00:42:20BUT THE POSITIONS IN THE PODIUM COULD SEE A CHANGE HERE
00:42:24BECAUSE SLATER IS BEING CAUGHT BY KORNAGI.
00:42:28RIVERA YAMAKOSHI SHOULD KEEP FIRST AND SECOND
00:42:30AS LONG AS THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.
00:42:32HERE WE GO.
00:42:33THE FINAL RUN UP THE CAMEL STRAIGHT.
00:42:35KORNAGI CLOSING IN ON SLATER.
00:42:37AND WE'VE GOT GRADISH CLOSING IN ON HIM AS WELL.
00:42:40THIS IS GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST CORNER.
00:42:43IT'S SLATER, KORNAGI AND GRADISH RIGHT TOGETHER
00:42:46FIGHTING FOR THE LAST STEP ON THE PODIUM.
00:42:48A THREE WAY FIGHT FOR THE FINAL STEP ON THE PODIUM.
00:42:50AND THIS IS IMPORTANT.
00:42:51AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP SLATER NEEDS TO HOLD ON TO THESE POINTS.
00:42:54CURRENTLY 15 POINTS FOR THIRD.
00:42:56IT DROPS TO 12 AND THEN 10 FOR FOURTH AND FIFTH RESPECTIVELY.
00:42:59AND THAT COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
00:43:02IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSE AS WE EXIT THIS EVENT.
00:43:05IT LOOKS LIKE UNLIKELY TO SCORE POINTS.
00:43:08GUADISH WE'VE SEEN RACY RECENTLY.
00:43:09LAST TIMEOUT WON THE FEATURE RACE AFTER ALL THE PENALTIES.
00:43:13KORNAGI HUNGRY FOR A GOOD RESULT.
00:43:15WE'VE GOT HUNGRY TO GIVE MP A PODIUM.
00:43:17WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP?
00:43:18THEY WANT TO GET THEIR FIRST PODIUM OF THE SEASON.
00:43:21THEY'RE THE ONLY TEAM NOT TO GET A PODIUM.
00:43:23CAN KORNAGI CHANGE THAT ON THIS FINAL LAP AS THEY COME THROUGH THE FANGER CHICANE?
00:43:27NOW WE'VE GOT GUADISH BEHIND SLATER JUST UP AHEAD.
00:43:31LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONE THROUGH A REALLY GOOD SECOND SECTOR THERE.
00:43:35AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE ENOUGH TO KEEP HIM ON THE PODIUM.
00:43:38ONCE AGAIN WE'VE SEEN HIM ON THE PODIUM PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE ROUND THIS SEASON.
00:43:43HE'S BEEN ON REALLY GOOD FORM AS FREDDIE SLATER.
00:43:47AND THIS RESULT WILL BRING HIM WITHIN A SINGLE POINT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER,
00:43:51UGO UGACHUKU.
00:43:53BUT WHAT A DRIVE IT HAS BEEN FROM ERNESTO RIVERA.
00:43:56WE'VE SEEN HIM ON THE TOP STEP OF THE PODIUM ONCE THIS SEASON
00:43:59WHEN HE TOOK VICTORY EARLIER AT THE SPRINT RACE AT THE RED BALL RING.
00:44:03BUT THIS WILL BE HIS FIRST WIN ON A GRAND PRIE SUNDAY
00:44:06AS HE WINS THE FEATURE RACE HERE AT SPAR.
00:44:09BRILLIANT DRIVE FROM THE CAMPOS DRIVER.
00:44:10HIYU YAMAKOSHI ON THE PODIUM IN SECOND PLACE.
00:44:14AND FREDDIE SLATER WILL MOVE TO WITHIN ONE POINT
00:44:18BEHIND UGO UGACHUKU, THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER.
00:44:21AND THAT FIGHT WILL CONTINUE AS WE GO TO HUNGARY NEXT WEEKEND.
00:44:25BUT CAMPOS RACING CAN CELEBRATE THEIR DRIVER.
00:44:29RED BALL JUNIOR ERNESTO RIVERA HAS TAKEN HIS FIRST FEATURE RACE WIN.
00:44:33ERNESTO RIVERA JOINED THE SEASON LATE AFTER INJURY EARLIER ON.
00:44:38YOUNGEST FULL-TIME DRIVER ON THE GRID THIS SEASON AS WELL.
00:44:41RED BALL BACKING.
00:44:42HE'S TURNING INTO A VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE YOUNG DRIVER.
00:44:46CAMPOS GIVING HIM THE TOOLS.
00:44:48BUT HE WAS THE ONE THAT HAD TO GO OUT THERE AND DRIVE THAT RACE.
00:44:50BRILLIANT DRIVE.
00:44:51PICKED OFF THE DRIVERS AHEAD ONE BY ONE.
00:44:53AND THEN ELECTRIC PACE TO PULL OUT THE GAP.
00:44:56AND A WELL-DESERVED VICTORY.
00:44:57WHEN THAT LIVERY GOES ON YOUR CAR.
00:44:59IT CAN BE PRESSURE, BUT ERNESTO'S DELIVERY.
00:45:03YES BOY, YES.
00:45:05THERE IS THIRD TIME SINCE THAT ARE MEANT TO BE.
00:45:08AND YOU WINNING A FEATURE RACE IS ONE OF THEM.
00:45:11A WIN MEANS A LOT TO ALL THE DRIVERS, BUT PARTICULARLY A FEATURE RACE AS WELL.
00:45:19TO DO IT ON GRAND PRIES SUNDAY IN FRONT OF THE CROWD.
00:45:21IN FRONT OF THE TEAM RED BALL AS WELL.
00:45:24THIS IS GOING TO GO A LONG WAY FOR HIM.
00:45:25ABSOLUTELY. ROOKIE SEASON, LET'S NOT FORGET AS WELL.
00:45:28SO TAKING MULTIPLE VICTORIES IN A ROOKIE SEASON IS A GOOD INDICATION
00:45:32OF WHAT YOU CAN DO AS A YOUNG DRIVER WITHOUT MUCH EXPERIENCE.
00:45:35AND HE'LL BE CONTINUING TO PUSH UP THE ORDER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP,
00:45:38ACTUALLY, WON'T HE?
00:45:39HE'S GOING TO GET CLOSER AND CLOSER.
00:45:40TOP 10.
00:45:40GOOD JOB.
00:45:41THAT'S P2.
00:45:42COME ON.
00:45:42P2.
00:45:43YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:45:44OH, THAT WAS A PART OF THE CAR.
00:45:47I GAVE WITH EVERYTHING.
00:45:49I GAVE WITH EVERYTHING.
00:45:50P2.
00:45:51VERY GOOD.
00:45:52THANK YOU SO MUCH, GUYS.
00:45:55TOOK SECOND PLACE IN THE FEATURE RACE AT BARCELONA.
00:45:58SO NO STRANGER TO THE PODIUM IS HE, YOU.
00:46:01YAMAKOSHI BACK THERE AGAIN.
00:46:02AND IT'S ANOTHER PODIUM FOR FREDDY SLATER AS WELL.
00:46:05THAT IS NOW PODIUM NUMBER SIX OF THE SEASON FOR HIM.
00:46:08IT'S CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN THE KEY FOR HIM.
00:46:10AND HE'S RIGHT BEHIND UGO IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP RIGHT NOW.
00:46:14HOW MANY PODIUMS DO YOU NEED TO GET TO GET A WIN, CHRIS?
00:46:17HOW MANY?
00:46:18I MEAN, SLATER, WE HEARD IN THE PRE-RACE INTERVIEW, HE SAID,
00:46:20I'D RATHER WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT WINNING A RACE.
00:46:23HOWEVER, HE WOULD RATHER, RATHER WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND WIN A RACE.
00:46:26SO, SURELY, IT'S ONLY IN A MATTER OF TIME.
00:46:28SURELY.
00:46:29FORMER TRIDENT DRIVER, LEO FORNER ONLY,
00:46:31FAMOUSLY TOOK THE FORMULA 3 TITLE WITHOUT WINNING A SINGLE RACE.
00:46:36REMEMBER, IT CAN BE DONE.
00:46:38CONSISTENCY WON IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT YEAR.
00:46:40BUT LET'S FOCUS BACK TO NESTO RIVERA.
00:46:43HE MENTIONED HE'S JOINED THE CHAMPIONSHIP LATE BECAUSE OF INJURY.
00:46:46BUT SINCE THEN, HE'S QUALIFIED IN THE TOP 12.
00:46:49EVERY SINGLE ROUND THAT HE'S COMPETED IN SO FAR.
00:46:52AND WE'VE SEEN HIM SHOWING REAL CONSISTENCY.
00:46:5412TH IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMING INTO THIS.
00:46:56HE'LL GO FIRING UP THE ORDER AS WELL.
00:46:58AND HE'S BECOMING A BIT OF A DARK HORSE, ISN'T HE, IN THIS TITLE?
00:47:02FOR YOUR INFOR, UGO IS OUT OF THE POINT AND ALSO ON AILAND.
00:47:07SO WELL DONE, YOU MAXIMIZED THE RACE.
00:47:10AND ESPECIALLY BRAVO, BRAVO AND THE LAST LEFT FOR PROTECTED OUR POSITION.
00:47:15I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THIS IS NOW OFFICIALLY A TWO-WAY FIGHT FOR THE TITLE, ISN'T IT?
00:47:19AND NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR THESE TWO HAVE FOUGHT FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:47:22NO.
00:47:23THEY FOUGHT THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE FORMULA REGIONAL OCEANIA TROPHY DOWN IN THE PRE-SEASON RACES.
00:47:30UGOCHIKU TOOK THE SPOILS THAT TIME, DIDN'T HE?
00:47:33SLATER THINK WAS THIRD IN THAT CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:47:34BUT THAT WAS ONLY A PRECURSOR TO THE MAIN EVENT OF FIA FORMULA 3.
00:47:39SLATER NOW, AS YOU MENTIONED, CHRIS, WITHIN ONE POINT.
00:47:41WE SAW THE GRAPHIC A MOMENT AGO.
00:47:43TERFILL NILE FALLING AWAY A LITTLE BIT.
00:47:46I WONDER WHETHER THAT CONTACT WITH NILE EARLY IN THE RACE CAUSED SOME AERO DYNAMIC DAMAGE TO UGOCHIKU'S CAR,
00:47:51WHICH IS WHY HE FELL DOWN THE ORDER, ENDED UP 22ND IN THE END.
00:47:55THAT'S UNCHARACTERISTIC, ISN'T IT?
00:47:57THAT'S, YEAH, REAL, REAL PLENTY TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN TERMS OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:48:04CHRIS, I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THIS UNFOLDS.
00:48:07THAT'S GOING TO BE, HOPEFULLY, A CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDER FOR THE AGES IN FIA FORMULA 3.
00:48:12BUT WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO YET.
00:48:14AND THIS MAN TODAY IS THE ONE THAT HAS ALL THE ATTENTION, ESTO RIVERA.
00:48:17THE ONLY THE SECOND DRIVER THIS SEASON TO TAKE MULTIPLE VICTORIES.
00:48:20HIS TEAMMATE UGOCHIKU LEADS THE WAY.
00:48:22AND A RIVERA NOW WITH A SPRINT AND FEATURE RACE VITORY.
00:48:26A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO AN ESTO RIVERA.
00:48:30THAT IS WIN NUMBER 5 FOR CAMPOS RACING.
00:48:32WHO ARE BEGINNING TO STRETCH A GAP IN THE FIGHT FOR THE TEAM'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:48:37AND ERNESTO RIVERA MAY NOT HAVE BEEN WITH US AT THE FIRST ROUND.
00:48:41BUT SINCE THEN, HE HAS PLAYED A PART IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:48:45AND THAT IS NOW FEATURE RACE WIN NUMBER 1 FOR THE RED BALL JUNIOR.
00:48:49AND DOES SO AT SPAR AS WELL.
00:48:51WELL DONE TO ERNESTO RIVERA.
00:48:53HE HAS THE BACKING OF THE RED BALL TEAM.
00:48:56AND YOU CAN SEE WHY.
00:48:57HE'S DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB.
00:48:59FREDDIE SLATER GOES OVER TO CONGRATULATE HIM.
00:49:02FREDDIE SLATER, ANOTHER PODIUM FOR HIM.
00:49:05PODIUM NUMBER 6.
00:49:06AND HIYU YAMAKOSHI, SECOND PLACE FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS SEASON.
00:49:10ANOTHER DRIVER WHO'S BEEN HUGELY IMPRESSIVE.
00:49:13HE'VE JUMPED UP FROM THE FORMULA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:49:15AND IS DOING REALLY GOOD THINGS SO FAR.
00:49:18YOU CAN SEE THOUGH, SLATER, HE'S CLOSED THE GAP TO ONE POINT.
00:49:21HE'S TAKEN ANOTHER PODIUM.
00:49:22BUT BODY LANGUAGE, DEJECTED.
00:49:24HE WANTS THAT WIN, CHRIS.
00:49:25HE'S A WINNER, ISN'T HE?
00:49:27HOW MANY RACES?
00:49:28HE WON SO MANY RACES LAST YEAR IN FORMULA REGIONAL.
00:49:30HE'S WON RACES AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING HE'S DONE SO FAR.
00:49:32HE'S PUTTING HIMSELF IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT.
00:49:34BUT HE WANTS TO TASTE THE CHAMPAGNE.
00:49:35HE WANTS TO BE ON THE TOP STEP.
00:49:37THESE DRIVERS ALL RELENTLESSLY COMPETITIVE.
00:49:40THEY ABSOLUTELY GIVE IT EVERYTHING, EVERY WEEKEND.
00:49:43AND EVEN AWAY FROM THE CIRCUIT, THEY'RE TRAINING TO TRY AND TAKE VICTORIES.
00:49:46HE'LL BE THINKING, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
00:49:48BUT ULTIMATELY, AS WE MENTIONED, HE WON'T MIND IF HE WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
00:49:52BUT IT WILL BE ALL THE SWEETER IF HE DOES DO THAT WITH AT LEAST A VICTORY TO HIS NAME.
00:49:58ABSOLUTELY SO.
00:49:59YOU REMEMBER THE CHAMPIONS, BUT YOU DON'T REMEMBER HOW MANY RACE WINS THEY GOT ALONG THE WAY.
00:50:03THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
00:50:06PUT FOR FORNEROLI.
00:50:06PUT FOR FORNEROLI, YEAH.
00:50:08THAT ONE WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
00:50:11AND IT WAS THE FASHION HE DID IT IN A CURSE AS WELL.
00:50:16WELL, ANESTO RIVERA, YOU THOUGHT JOINING THE CHAMPIONSHIP ONE ROUND LATE, HE MIGHT HAVE TO BE PLAYING CATCH UP THIS
00:50:23SEASON.
00:50:24BUT YOU WOULDN'T, IT WOULD PROBABLY COME AS A SURPRISE TO FANS MAYBE TUNING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME TO
00:50:29KNOW THAT HE WASN'T WITH US AT THE FIRST ROUND.
00:50:32AND IT ACTUALLY REALLY AFFECTED HIS PRE-SEASON WARM-UP AS WELL DUE TO THAT INJURY HE PICKED UP.
00:50:36YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
00:50:37HE WASN'T EVEN AT PRE-SEASON TESTING.
00:50:39SO JOINED ON THE BACK FOOT.
00:50:40LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
00:50:41SO THIS WAS SLATER AFTER THE POUR START.
00:50:42THREE ABREAST WITH KOLNAGI, RIVERA AND SLATER.
00:50:46AND THEN LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT RIVERA.
00:50:47HOW DID HE GET THROUGH THE FIELD?
00:50:48HE OVERTOOK KOLNAGI.
00:50:50HE WENT SIDE BY SIDE UP THE CAMEL ON THE FIRST LAP.
00:50:52TOOK THAT PLACE IN THE END.
00:50:54AND THEN LATER ON, THEN WENT PAST TAPER IN THE STRAIGHT LINE SPEED.
00:50:58AND HIS RUN THROUGH THE ROE ROUGE RADION SECTION WAS GOOD.
00:51:02HE THEN LOST HIS FRONT WING END PLAY, DIDN'T HE, WHEN HE TOUCHED THE SIDE OF HIEI YAMAKOSHI.
00:51:05THAT DIDN'T HOLD HIM BACK AS HE WENT PAST YAMAKOSHI.
00:51:07AND THEN ONLY A FEW MOMENTS LATER THEN PAST FREDDIE SLATER.
00:51:11AND ONCE HE WAS IN THE CLEAR, ONCE HE HAD CLEAR TRACK, HE DIDN'T LOOK BACK.
00:51:16ABSOLUTELY SO.
00:51:17AND HE WOULD COME ACROSS THE LINE TO TAKE THE WIN.
00:51:19WELL DONE TO CAMPOS RACING.
00:51:21ANOTHER WIN FOR THEM THIS SEASON.
00:51:23Our leaders in the team's standings
00:51:25And all three of their drivers
00:51:27Doing a really good job so far
00:51:29And all races so far
00:51:31Have been one from fourth place this weekend
00:51:33Seems to be a pattern forming there
00:51:35Who's fourth for the F2 feature race?
00:51:40I'll leave that one up to you Chris
00:51:42Lovely stuff
00:51:43Plenty of fans around the Spa Circuit
00:51:46As well, there's always
00:51:47Huge support for the Formula 3
00:51:50And Formula 2 drivers as well
00:51:52Teams getting ready for the podium now
00:51:56And just a few days to go
00:51:57Before we will see them back out on circuit
00:52:00For Hungary
00:52:02We'll see them out for practice
00:52:03On Friday
00:52:04And then the Round 7 races
00:52:07Taking place next weekend
00:52:09As we have the Hungarian Grand Prix
00:52:13Let's go down to the cool down room
00:52:15Shall we?
00:52:15See what the drivers have to say
00:52:18You have so much faith, man
00:52:21Towards the end
00:52:22I think you started to catch me a little bit or not?
00:52:24No, I just
00:52:24I think the pace went the same
00:52:26In the middle
00:52:27Middle to last phase
00:52:29Yeah
00:52:33Because you went to the lead, no?
00:52:35Yeah, yeah, I pushed the brake
00:52:37In the cooling fine, so
00:52:38Yeah
00:52:45Oh, yeah
00:52:48Yeah, towards the end
00:52:49We were all struggling
00:52:50Yeah, the tyre was
00:52:52A bit
00:52:54But you were not struggling
00:52:55Right front, right tyre, no?
00:52:57No
00:52:57No, right?
00:52:57I struggled right on the left, so
00:53:00You probably didn't just throw a lot of work here
00:53:03I may, I wonder what was going on
00:53:06I was all fine
00:53:07And then literally, like, without even doing anything
00:53:10I just dropped
00:53:11Yeah, in the T7, you were sick
00:53:14It was almost like fun all the time
00:53:15So, like, kind of
00:53:17It just went too wide all the time
00:53:18I was quite surprised
00:53:20Yeah, it was impressive
00:53:24I thought I can win the race after the start
00:53:27I feel like I have so much pace on there
00:53:29You almost stole, no?
00:53:30No, it stole, yeah?
00:53:31Yeah
00:53:31I mean, Zanzi stole and luckily I pulled it back in
00:53:38I think even the other drivers there
00:53:41Just have no answers to the pace
00:53:44Of Ernesto Rivera
00:53:46It was superb pace
00:53:47Pulled off great moves
00:53:48And interesting to hear Freddy
00:53:50Talking about the start there as well
00:53:51Yeah, we saw Freddy bogged down
00:53:52We heard from him just then
00:53:53He actually went into anti-store
00:53:55Which is where the engine basically stops itself from stopping
00:53:58So, full anti-store
00:53:59Pulled the clutch back in
00:54:00Then dropped it again
00:54:01And, yeah, real, real
00:54:04Good recovery to maintain third position after an anti-store
00:54:08Normally, when you hit anti-store
00:54:09You drop handfuls of positions
00:54:11But that allowed Freddy Slater to hold on to the podium
00:54:15Certainly did
00:54:15Let's get the drivers out onto the podium then
00:54:18Audi junior, Freddy Slater out onto the podium for the sixth time now this season
00:54:25He's really starting to wrap them up
00:54:27He's down the top step
00:54:29I'm sure not too far away
00:54:32Hiyu Yamakoshi likewise
00:54:33Another second place in a feature race for him this season
00:54:37Really good points
00:54:38Currently sits ninth
00:54:39But he'll go climbing up the standings with that one
00:54:42And as will the driver on the top step of the podium
00:54:46Ernesto Rivera
00:54:4712th in the championship coming into this
00:54:49He'll go into the top ten now
00:54:51And he's got both a sprint race
00:54:53And now a feature race win
00:54:55To his name
00:54:56Does the Red Bull Junior
00:54:58Show him why he has the support
00:55:00Of that team
00:55:02And a well done to Campos Racing
00:55:04Leading the team's championship so far
00:55:33At the top ten choose his team
00:55:35To the stop ten now
00:55:49In the exit
00:56:02You can imagine
