Buzaid dominates Race 3 at Snetterton

30 August 2010

Adriano Buzaid dominated the third and final race of the Cooper Tires British F3 Championship at Snetterton this afternoon, making the most of the dry conditions to lead from lights-to-flag and head home a Carlin 1-2-3, 7.5 seconds up on his closest challenger.

Buzaid, who started from pole, was never headed throughout the 38 laps, and while his team-mate and newly crowned British F3 Champion, Jean-Eric Vergne stayed with him early on, the Brazilian managed to gradually pull away and in the final ten or so laps had a more than comfortable 4-second cushion.

James Calado meanwhile came home third to give Carlin a clean sweep of the rostrum and while he put a bit of pressure on Vergne near the end, and finished just four tenths back, he couldn’t get passed.

Daisuke Nakajima was next up for Raikkonen Robertson Racing, albeit 6 seconds further back, followed by his team-mates, Felipe Nasr and Carlos Huertas in fifth and seventh, making Carlin man, Jazeman Jaafar very much the meat in the RRR sandwich.

Of the rest Race 2 winner, Gabriel Dias was eighth, while fellow Hitech Racing man William Buller and Rupert Svendsen-Cook rounded out the top ten.

In the National class, Menasheh Idafar claimed the honours again for T-Sport, finishing 14th overall and three places ahead of his closest class rival and team-mate, James Cole in 17th.
