BOTTAS MASTERS F3 MASTERS

Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas (ART Grand Prix) has become the first ever driver to win back to back in the Masters of Formula 3 race at Zandvoort. Alexander Sims (ART Grand Prix) and Marco Wittmann (Signature) were second and third in the race, the unofficial World Championship for the class. A slight drizzle set in just before the start of the race but apart from Roberto Merhi (Mücke Motorsport), all drivers on the first couple of grid rows opted for slick tyres. After the start, which took place behind the safety car for safety reasons, the Spanish driver had the upper hand and soon took the lead. However, as the track dried out, he no longer had a chance. Alexander Sims and Valtteri Bottas overtook him. But the new leader Sims wasn’t able to hold on to his first place for a long time either and Bottas went past. In the remaining laps, the Finn drove a safe victory home.
