Rounds 9 & 10 British F3 - Snetterton
Are we not missing a thread in here this weekend or have I missed it?
Provisional timetable and Round 9 qualifying results on what looks like a very wet track. Maybe somebody can get us caught-up. :dunno: |

Great result for Devaney taking pole for race 1. The Mygale obviously suited to the long straights of snetterton with Tandy an excellent 2nd

Hartley takes pole for race 2 ahead of Hohenthal with Perez and Devaney on row 2. Row 3 Mustonen and Alguersuari.
Stefan Wilson putting it on pole in the national class just ahead his team mate Jay Bridger. I was a bit suprised to see Callum Macleod so far off the pace in Q1 and more so in Q2, obviously a lot of work to be done on the SLC chassis. I will be hoping for a good result for Devaney tommorrow, his results so far this season haven't matched his driving skills and it would be good to see him have better luck after 2 excellent qualifying sessions. |

And he's done it, with what looked like Alguersuari keeping him honest at the end there.
No Irish flag in the football smilies. |

Yep, after two wet and horrible days at Snetterton, it's dry and sunny today, but still Michael Michael Devaney managed to carry his speed forward in the different conditions to score a first F3 victory for himself, Ultimate and Mygale. Kinda historic. Jaime Alguersuari was a close 2nd and has closed right up on Sergio Perez in the points table. Brendon Hartley was 3rd and starts race 2 from pole.
In the National Class, Jay Bridger won clearly from Andy Meyrick. |

Hey, a 2fer, that's quite a showing. What happened to Brendon Hartley?

Just noticed that Marcus Ericsson set a f3 new lap record (1:01.893) in race 1, underlining the perfect race weather........ what a contrast to yesterday !

Devaney takes second win. Great weekend by Ultimate( 2 wins in british f3+massive points in WSR). Starting to really like this team, i hope next near they will have Mortara(as part of signature) and Guerrieri(Ultimate) as their drivers in WSR - that is could be winning combination
And hooray for Alguersuari - leading the championship , nobody could even think about that before( even he himself, i want to win spanish f3 and take top3 in british f3). Alguersuari 99 Perez 98 Mustonen 87 Hohental 81 |

Jaime Alguersuari must be really happy with the weekend, nearly as much so as Mick Devaney and the Ultimate guys. He, Jaime, is now leading the title chase, whilst Red Bull team-mate, Brendon Hartley, who had race 2 in his pocket, threw it it away by trying to keep pulling away, when at Snetterton there is just no need to do that.
Those who have expressed disappointment on here with Stefan Wilson's efforts should note that he won the National Class in race 2 totally on merit, clear of both of both Jay Bridger and Andy Meyrick. Fluid had a good weekend, with wins for both their drivers. But almost everyone was happy, just because it was a proper summer's day. |

Guys any idea on what happened to the SLC car? They retired both times as I can see on the results.

Yeh, was a clear win from Wilson in the second race, he was running well in the first race too, being the only other national driver in the 62's along with bridger I see.
I cant believe how quick everone was to judge him, give the kid a break to be honest! hes 18 and this is his 2nd year racing cars! racing F3 cars!, theres a lot more to come from him. He obviously did a good job in the Mclaren autosport tests, and I find it funny that some guys on here, not mentioning any names (GAZ) who probably weren't even there think they can comment about how he didnt deserve to win, after all its what happened on the day that counted, and also being the youngest and least experienced weighed in his favour too. c'mon all the rest were 2 years older than him, so think of it this way, wait 2 years and then compare him to the others, or in Duncans case 5 years. lol. I think hes made a lot of progress just in the last couple of races, and hopefully this starts his year rolling. |

Unfortunately, the car had literally not turned a wheel until the Friday practice sessions, which were wet. The car was running at the tail of the field, but not really far away from the pace. It was even wetter for qualifying and Callum MacLeod was 26th and 27th out of 27 in the two sessions. I think they were handicapped by a nearly flat battery, which seems to be a one-off item. Race day was dry and sunny, which meant starting from scratch again. Callum was 22nd and last in Race 1, and retired from Race 2 after 18 laps, possibly due to the battery finally giving up the ghost. It doesn't sound that great on paper, but the given the circumstances I thought they did very well and respect to the team for being prepared to jump in at the deep end. I know several people were very impressed. |

Wilson did perform better this weekend, a good showing. But he got so much flack because he didn't perform at the beginning of the season, simple as that. The fact that he is so inexperienced IS the reason why he shouldn't have got the award. He was no where near the fastest on the day of the evaluations, and giving him the award just put everyones attention on him when he should be learning under the radar. What's next, go down to the local arrive n drive and pick a candidate from there and give him the award based on his 'lack of experience'.
I thought the award was designed for the next F1 hopeful. Do we really think Stefan Wilson is good enough for f1? 07 was an FPA marketing tool in my opinion. And age doesn't matter when it comes to experience, its miles, and the two aren't always directly linked. Last edited by 50-SIX; 9 Jun 2008 at 12:20. |

However, regardless of the above, Stefan Wilson's performances at his Snetterton did seem to suggest that he is getting to grips with a Formula 3 car and hopefully he'll be able to carry that form for the rest of the season. |

But that said, good luck to Stefan for the rest of the season, I hope he keeps the improved form seen at Snett up for the rest of the season.
I still want Meyrick to take the title though, he's a good lad. |
