Sport news

The third FIA Formula 3 European Championship race at the Nürburgring had a turbulent start. Callum Ilott (Prema Powerteam) took the lead from Norris and Hughes while Guanyu Zhou (Prema Powerteam) and Ferdinand Habsburg (Carlin) collided in the first corner. For both drivers involved in the accident, the race was over and the safety car was deployed. Also on the opening lap, there was contact between Joey Mawson (Van Amersfoort Racing) and Tadasuke Makino (Hitech Grand Prix), after which both drivers had to turn into the pits for quick repair works on their cars.

Racing resumed on lap four and Norris overtook Ilott. Later on, the Prema driver lost further positions and he was fourth at the end of the fifth lap. Further down, meanwhile, newcomer Max Defourny (Van Amersfoort Racing) overtook David Beckmann (Motopark) and moved up into the top ten. The Belgian gained another position as Nikita Mazepin (Hitech Grand Prix) had a brief excursion into the gravel trap and he eventually finished ninth.

Further up, Lando Norris was first across the line from Jake Hughes and Ralf Aron. Callum Ilott took the chequered flag in fourth from Jehan Daruvala (Carlin), Harrison Newey (Van Amersfoort Racing), Maximilian Günther and Joel Eriksson (Motopark). Newcomer Sacha Fenestraz (Carlin) claimed the point for finishing tenth.
