Patrick Passat again managed to fully utilize his ability to start well: as on Saturday, in the first Sunday race in Abu Dhabi, he was ahead of the owner of Pool Guanu Yu Zhou, as soon as the lights of the traffic light went out, and captured the leadership.
True, it was not possible to create a gap: the Chinese driver of the Prema team, as well as Jehan gave him closely pursued him. In the heat of the attacks of Zhou even cut off Shikanu in the 9th turn, after which he returned to the track without receiving any explicit advantage - nevertheless, the stewards of the race took up the investigation of this maneuver.
But after the first round, a security car appeared on the track after the collision of the Machinery of the Pierre-Louis Championship Shew and the Czech Roman Roman Mc. Both came up. In the future, the seeds-car traveled again to make the marshals the opportunity to eliminate the consequences of the accident, whose participants were the Arab Racer Chalated Al-Kabii and Briton Alex Connor, Passatar and Irina Sidorkova on the Evans GP team.
On the remaining circles of the race, Passover and Guan Yu Zhou continued their duel and this time markedly moved away from the rest of the peloton. However, despite all the efforts, Zhou was able to get ahead of Finn and finished the second.
This is the third victory of Patrick in the last five races, but it ranks 4th a line of personal competition, while the second place occupied by Guan Yu Zhou today gives him every chance of winning the winter series. After today's failure, the Chinese pilot reduced the lag from the leader of the personal competition to four points, and the fate of the title will decide in the final race, which will be held today.
The third finished darisal, and for the first Saturday race he deliberately chose the roll tires to keep the only remaining fresh rubber set for the season finale. The fourth place was taken by Kush Munic, his partner on the Indian team Mumbai Falcons, the fifth - Spaniard David Vidal.
The Russian rider Irina Sidorskova finished the 12th - while it is its best result in the Asian F3, but reports from Abu Dhabi that the stewards are investigating the participants in the SMP Racing program seems to suspect it in violating the rules. Perhaps we are talking about violation of the route limits, but we hope that it will cost.
