Mortara takes win at the Nürburgring

7 August 2010

With a dominant victory, his fourth win of the current season, Edoardo Mortara (Signature) strengthened his leading position in the Formula 3 Euro Series. At the Nürburgring sprint circuit, the Italian finished ahead of Laurens Vanthoor (Signature) and Roberto Merhi (Mücke Motorsport).

Mortara now has a margin of 22 points over Marco Wittmann (Signature), who ended up fifth in the race. After the ninth of 18 races, Mortara is now the unofficial 'halftime-champion'.

Only at the start, Mortara briefly trailed Laurens Vanthoor, who had a better getaway from second place on the grid. However, coming out of the first corner, Mortara already overtook the Belgian again and drove a safe victory home. Laurens Vanthoor was delighted with his best season result and his second podium finish of the season, after already having been third at Valencia.

After 22 laps, António Félix da Costa (Motopark Academy) was the best-placed rookie in seventh place overall, just ahead of Jim Pla (ART Grand Prix). The two returnees Mika Mäki (Motopark Academy) and Christopher Zanella (Motopark Academy) failed to score points in 13th and 10th place respectively
