QualifyingIn qualifying, I wasn’t quite able to match my pace from practice, but I still managed to secure a solid position in third place. Race 1The start of the first race went really well.

3rd place overall in the International Esports Trophy 2025 Sweden, Kristianstad Tough races & strong pace Free Practice In free practice, it was simply a matter of adapting to the setup and getting to grips with the car.

The battles were very tough, sometimes even beyond the limit, which meant I finished the race in 4th place. The driver who pushed me off the track received a penalty from the race directors. Race 3Nevertheless, I had to start the third race from fourth place. The race went smoothly and there were no major incidents.

Race 9 & 10 F4 Summer Challenge Race victory and double podium at Nürburgring Free PracticeIn the free practice sessions, I struggled a bit with my pace at the beginning and wasn’t quite sure where I was losing time to my opponents. But I was able to adapt quickly and felt confident about the upcoming qualifying and the two races. Qualifying The shock came during the warm-up lap from the pits. Everyone wanted to draft off each other, which is why everyone drove a very slow warm-up lap. No one wanted to be the first to pull away at the front, and so it happened that the car behind me hit the right side of my rear and caused damage to my suspension.My first thought was, ‘Qualifying is over,’ and it was indeed difficult to control the car and keep it on the track, but I was still able to drive a few fast laps and maintain third place in qualifying despite the damage. Race 1The start of the first race went really well. I was already battling for second place before the first corner and managed to move up to second place. This was followed by several laps of intense competition between the drivers in positions 1-5. However, after 20 exciting minutes, I was the first to cross the finish line and win the race.
