Young Mexican continues winning streak in Europe

Eight races, six victories: this is Esteban Gutierrez's impressive record in the 2008 Formula BMW Europe season. When the junior series appeared at the Hockenheimring as part of the Formula One weekend, the Mexican once again dominated proceedings, claiming pole position in both races, before going on to clock the fastest laps and win the races.

"A perfect weekend," was how Gutierrez described his double hat-trick. "Although I have now won six times in a row, I am still trying to take it one race at a time. I am putting aside any thoughts of the overall victory at the end of the season." Adrien Tambay (FR) and local hero Marco Wittmann (DE) finished second and third respectively in both races. Gutierrez now has 226 points overall, and has extended his lead over Tambay (180) and Wittmann (150).

Races nine and ten of the Formula BMW Europe series take place this coming weekend at the Hungaroring, where the BMW Sauber F1 Team will be racing in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
