Jean-Eric Vergne has imposed in the first race of the Formula Renault 3.5 at Hungaroring, with Sergio Canamasas in third position. Between the two drivers we have Alexander Rossi. A returned Adam Carroll has finished in fourth position, Wickens in fifth position and Kevin Korjus in the sixth. The points have completed Nelson Panciatici, Brendon Hartley, Nathanael Berthoin and Cesar Ramos
The first important casualty of the race was Daniel Ricciardo, who after a mistake in the round of installation, ran off the runway and did not start. Jean-Eric Vergne attacked from the first round, followed closely by Daniil Move, and Brendon Hartley in third position, further. Fifth rolled a returned Adam Carroll, with Sergio Canamasas sixth, very inspired.
Albert Costa, after a poor qualifying session, was in 11th position at the time. The first step toward goal we have seen how Charouz and Robert Wickens have starred a PIN maneuver that saw Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello last year, in the same Hungaroring circuit. Inexplicably, the "anger" has been to Wickens, it has had the position "of Barrichello".
In any case, the Canadian has not received any penalty, and at the end has been able to finish in fifth position, which helps you to keep ahead of his rival in the fight for the Championship, the French Vergne, pilot of Red Bull. You will have to see what happens tomorrow at Hungaroring, but keep things as until now, the fight is already only Vergne and Wickens, others are too far already.
As Albert Costa, has been forced to leave after a touch with Jan Charouz. The Czech driver has had two "lances," with Wickens and coast, and still has not received any penalty by the Organization, which is worthy of mention. A pity, since Costa had good pace and it would have been able to complete in an acceptable position.
The other Catalan pilot, Sergio Canamasas, has been impressive in bars late, and after a start of track and almost losing position with Wickens and Korjus, the first two classified before the race, has escaped from them, has come down to Adam Carroll and has managed to tell you to get a well deserved first podium in the World Series by Renault, which you aupan up to the 12th position of the general.
Half of career have begun casualties; the first Daniil Move, after a touch with Brendon Hartley. After a few laps, the own Hartley had touch in his struggle with Alexander Rossi and this has made it to loosen the pace, losing time. At the time, therefore, Sergio Canamasas filming in the fourth position, behind ahead of Carroll.
Finally, Brendon Hartley has received a penalty of 10 seconds for the touch with Alexander Rossiand Canamasas has been able to loosen the pace and ensure first podium. Now, Robert Wickens leads with 142 points, against Jean-Erick Vergne 127, with Kevin Korjus further back, with 110 points. Interesting Championship, but with fewer pilots with options to win. Tomorrow will be the second race of the Hungarian event.
