Hockenheim European F3: Verstappen wins race one
Verstappen speeds to victory |
Max Verstappen took a flag-to-flag win in the first Formula 3 European Championship race of the final round at Hockenheim.
Verstappen got a great start in his Van Amersfoort Racing Dallara-Volkswagen and was nearly four seconds to the good at the flag.
"After second qualifying yesterday we had to change some stuff on the car," said Verstappen, "and we had an engine problem too so you're never sure what's going to happen.
"The first three laps were difficult but then I pulled a gap, and Lucas locked up as well at the Spitzkehre."
