After an action-packed race, Daniel Juncadella (Prema Powerteam) claimed victory in the 10th round of the Formula 3 Euro Series, which also counts towards the FIA European Formula 3 Championship. The Spaniard received the trophy from Gerhard Berger, the president of the FIA single-seater commission. William Buller (Carlin) finished second, Emil Bernstorff (ma-con Motorsport) ended up as the best-placed rookie in third. For the Brit, it was his first podium finish in the Formula 3 Euro Series.
Raffaele Marciello (Prema Powerteam) took the lead at the start, but had to hand over first place to Juncadella on the opening lap. The Spaniard remained in the lead until lap 34, when he ran too wide at the Dutzendteich hairpin. Pascal Wehrlein (Mücke Motorsport) took the chance and went past. On lap 40, Juncadella wanted to counter, but collided with the race leader in the process, turning the latter around. While approaching the Schöller-S, he couldn’t avoid a collision with Marciello after which the Italian retired. Buller and Bernstorff took over second and third place behind Juncadella, who remains in the lead of the Formula 3 Euro Series. Americans Felix Serralles (Mucke Motorsport) was fifth, Michael Lewis (Prema Powerteam) did not finish.
Following the podium ceremonies, Juncadella was excluded from the race for the two incidents.
The Formula 3 Euro Series tripleheader resumes on Sunday (July 1) with two more races at the Norisring street circuit in Germany.
The top-three, along with how the North American racers did, will be posted following every session on the EFCN Facebook page, and EFCN Twitter page.
