Zweiter Platz für Hülkenberg in Zolder







Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix) again reached the podium at the “RTL GP Masters of Formula 3″ in Zolder, Belgium. The defending titlist took the chequered flag in second position.

Round about 40 drivers from 18 different nations started at the 4.011 kilometres long circuit of Zolder in Belgium.
At the Qualifying on Saturday Nico Hülkenberg claimed pole position for the “RTL GP Masters of Formula-3″ with a lap time of 1:24.280 minutes.
Accordingly satisfied Hülkenberg said: “The Qualifying wasn’t easy. After the red flag, I knew that I couldn’t drive many laps anymore. On my fastest lap, I also had to overtake Michael Devaney. But I remained calm and it was enough. In the end, it was a matter of nerves.”
In the race on Sunday his teammate Jules Bianchi had the best start. He led the field into the first corner right in front of Nico Hülkenberg. In spite of the difficult conditions, Bianchi and Hülkenberg made no mistakes and dominated the race that saw many drivers spin off the track.
Finally Jules Bianchi won the race in front of Nico Hülkenberg. Jon Lancaster completed the ART Grand prix triumph in third position.
“My start wasn’t great as my tyres didn’t get any grip on the white line. On the first laps of the race, I was still confident. However, there were many yellow flags, which made it impossible to attack. The longer it took, the more difficult it became to put Jules under pressure, as my tyres lost grip”, so the conclusion of Hülkenberg afterwards.
From 29th to 31st of August the next races of the Formula-3 EuroSeries will start in Brands Hatch (GB).
