Start drama about Oliver Goethe: The German-Danish, who was able to secure pole position for the Formula 3 season finale in Monza, had to park his Trident car before the start of the main race due to problems with the gas pedal and lost all hope of buried his second victory. Sophia Flörsch (Munich/PHM) finished 14th.
The Brit Jonny Edgar, who was sponsored by Red Bull, won the main race, which was characterized by numerous rides and safety car phases. In the sprint on Saturday, Argentinian Franco Colapinto (both MP Motorsport) prevailed. Goethe’s Brazilian teammate Gabriel Bortoleto was already crowned champion before the last two races.
London-born, Monaco-based Goethe (18), who says he is related to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe through an uncle of the German poet prince (1749-1832), finished his first full season in the junior series with 75 points in eighth place .
Flörsch was the first woman in Formula 3 history to score points at the penultimate station in Spa, Belgium at the end of July. She finished the championship with six points in 23rd place among 35 starters.
Goethe and Flörsch will probably also compete in Formula 3 next year.
