2. diefenbacher 137
3. kaffer 111
4. winklehock 93
5. mucke 88
6. paffet 72

is there any coincidence that a japanese driver is leading both the british & german f3 championships .... what are peoples opinions of the german f3 championship as it has produced some brilliant drivers and 1 brilliant world champion

My view on German F3, hmm. Over the past 10 years its probably been the 2nd best F3 Championship in the world, after the British. On the odd year it may be stronger, but I think this years crop of talent in British F3 is exceptional. BTW is this Diefenbacher's first or second year in F3?

As for why the sudden glut of good young Japanese drivers, just coincidence I think, but Sato is imo the best of the bunch.

I think he's MW's son, and JW's uncle. I saw him being interviewed on TV after the race yesterday and he looks so young. I don't know how old he is, but he looked about 16.

Also, I think that Kaneishi is now second in the German F3 championship after Dieffenbacher's win yesterday.
