“It’s mad! On Friday, I really wasn’t expecting to win the next day,” he explained, still moved by his first F3 win. Coming in at 12 place in the first race of the day, Charles Leclerc’s younger brother put in a perfect performance during the second race, having qualified with the fastest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An incredible comeback in race 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Race number three was also excellent, as he moved up 17 places, having started in 30 position on the grid. In the end, he crossed the line in 13 place. Once the results were in and drivers ranked, the Mon\u00e9gasque came out in 11 place. His teammate Dennis Hauger (Prema) is in the top spot, ahead of Victor Martins (MP Motorsport) and Jack Doohan (Trident). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
