The Swedish Red Bull Junior driver got his first win during the second race at Round 7 of the British F4 Championship at Donington Park,
Starting the reverse grid race on pole was Chris Dittmann Racing’s Henry Mercier and alongside the American on the front row was Red Bull Junior for Hitech - Scott Kin Lindblom. Lights went green and off they went, Lindblom got a better start than Mercier and managed to get ahead into the lead.
Three wide went Mercier, Clark and Wherrell with Lewis Wherrell making up positions. If the Briton has a high place finish in this race, he could start catching up in the championship standings to Van Langendonck who had a race ban for this weekend.
Kobakhidze made his way into the pits for a front nose change. Back at the front of the grid, Lindblom created a gap of over two seconds to Wherrell. Going spinning into the gravel was Jaber Alsabah - yesterday’s race winner and the incident triggered the deployment of a safety car, neutralising the grid. This will create pressure for Lindblom on the restart with Wherrell behind him.
Going into Redgate on the restart, Lindblom is put under pressure by Wherrell. Further down the field, Hewetson made up a place on Jeff-Hall and about six places overall in this race. Marshals had run over to the car of Sun Anzhe who was the second retirement of the race.
The Fortec Motorsports car of Roman Felber was handed a five-second time penalty for track limits.
Crossing the line victorious was Hitech’s Scott Kin Lindblom followed by Lewis Wherrell and rounding off the podium for Race 2 was Jarrett Clark.
