The weekend started well for the Spaniards in the new Red Bull Ring, also known as Spielberg. Dani Juncadella was done with the pole for the first and the third race, while Roberto Merhi goes second and third in them. Very good positions on the grid for both.
If the weekend began with good feelings, the final result has not him gone behind. Roberto Merhi has managed two victories and Dani Juncadella another. Merhi won the first two races and Juncadella third. A bottom line which serves the first to hold the lead in the Championship and the second to Eaglets to second place.
The first race saw both Spaniards left from the first line. Turned off the traffic lights Merhi managed to overtake Juncadella. Since there was practically a monologue, but positions remain unchanged. A genuine struggle of Titans. They left no mark to the other and did not give option to its rivals. Third concluded Marco Wittmann, finished almost 10 seconds from the winner, Roberto Merhi.
The second test had nothing to do with the first. With the track steeped in water and with grilled inverted, Roberto Merhi released the best of himself to give a blow at the table. The output was behind the safety car, which had to stay on track during two laps. From there comeback spectacular of the Spanish. Started eighth on the grid and was surpassing rivals one after the other. All this in less than nine laps. If outside, allowed the luxury of overtake in almost 9 seconds per second, Laurens Venthoor. Dani Juncadella had to settle for sixth position.
The third and final race was better to Juncadella, worse at Merhi. The first ran from the beginning, while the second had a touch with Felix Rosenqvist at the first corner that forced him to leave. As consuelo minor, one of his main rivals in the face to the world, Marco Wittmann, nor scored due to a technical problem in its single-seater.
The following quote from the formula 3 Euro Series will be in a month at Norisring. Meanwhile, Roberto Merhi leads the classification of the world with 164 points by 136 of Dani Juncadella, is now the second. Third is Nigel Melker with 123 points and fourth Marco Wittmann with 119.
