2021 FRECA Rd 05 ZANDVOORT Race 1 – Starting Grid
Positions are hard to change, as overtaking is not easy on the Dutch circuit, but battles between Isack Hadjar, Mikhael Belov and Dino Beganovic are extremely exciting. Soon Beganovic makes a great move on Belov and gains the 8th position. After that he attacks Hadjar but the Ferrari Driver Academy Driver does not manage to overtake the Red Bull Junior Team driver. Also Colapinto is stuck to Boya.
In the meantime, Saucy has gained more than 2 seconds on Minì, who is more than a second ahead of David.
24 minutes to the end of the race Tommy Smith (JD motorsport) goes off track, but no safety car is needed. Again great battles between Beganovic and Hadjar and between Alex Quin (Arden Motorsport) and Belov take place.
In the following laps unfortunately Pietro Delli Guanti (Monolite Racing) si forced to stop due to technical reasons.
8 minutes to the end of the race, it is Patrik Pasma (KIC Motorsport) to go off track after a banking and the safety car is needed. At the restart Saucy is perfect, while it is Mari Boya to have some difficulties and he is overtaken by Franco Colapinto and Isack Hadjar.
A great battle also takes place between William Alatalo (Arden Motorsport) and David Vidales (Prema Powerteam), but positions finally remain unchanged. In the last lap of the race Colapinto attacks more and more times Aron with no success.
Great job by Zane maloney (R-ace GP) gaining 6 positions from the start, but ending up only 15th.
Saucy wins in front of Minì, David, Aron, Colapinto, Hadjar, Boya, Beganovic, Belov and Quinn.
