Not a huge surprise; F3 + 1st lap + wet

Followed immediately by another safety car. F3 + wet = accidents.

Just kids having fun.

Track drying really fast - who has treated their tyres nicely?

Not Leclerc, who seems determined to turn his into slicks ASAP.

Those Leclerc brothers are very similar…

…in the the way they race and chuck it all away.

That was a silly dive from miles behind, he was never gong to make the corner, especially going off the dry line on slick-looking tyres.

W Series about to get underway, they’re all on slicks as there’s a dry line and no rain in the air. Rolling start behind the SC, as one side of the grid is wet.

I'd get it for one lap, but why 2 ? And losing race laps/time...

Chadwick making some good moves in tricky conditions.

Is the commentator after Crofts job ?

This series is rather turning into the Jamie Chadwick show, isn’t it? Clearly quicker than anyone else, she needs a drive in a faster car next season.

Anyone else dominating an international F3 series to such an extent would have been in FIA F3 by now, I feel.

Talk about piss ups In breweries, safety car after how many laps of yellows

They need to put in the F2 rule, that the champion is ineligible the following season. Otherwise, WS has too many pull factors with the free racing you can’t get anywhere else. Someone needs to get their cheque book out for Jamie.

Saved by the safety car

Well done Alice, holding off the champion at the end to take the win.

Also a good but unseen drive from rookie Juju Noda, up from 16th on the grid to take points in 9th.

[JonChalk]

Good to see Powell win one.

Chadwick faster, but not enough to matter on a circuit like this.

[Sandpit Steve]

F2 sprint race about to go, somehow still dry after what looked like a cloudburst about to happen, during the closing stages of the F1 qualifying session.

That was scrappy!

SC, opportunity to grab a beer

Broke his thumb did he say!?

I thought he said that too. Overhead cockpit shot he didn’t seem to be in any pain though

It’s Sunday! F3 first up, and it’s wet again.
