Race 9 & 10 F4 Summer Challenge

Free Practice
In 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 1
The 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.

Race 2
Thanks to my victory in the first race, I started the second race from 10th place again. The start went really well and I was able to gain multiple places in the first lap.
At one point, I was the fastest car on the track and was able to secure second place at the end of the race, earning my first double podium in this championship.

Championship results
Thanks to these good race results, I managed to secure third place in the overall championship standings, even though I was only able to participate in 8 of the 10 races.
In the team standings, I finished sixth for Maffi Racing.
