It was a monologue for Nikola Tsolov (BUL – Campos Racing) at Spa-Francorchamps in the fourth round of the F4 Spanish Championship. The Bulgarian driver, leader of the standings, now has eight consecutive victories and extends his lead in the classification, putting a good 114 points between himself and Timoteusz Kucharczyk (POL – MP Motorsport). The Pole, on the Belgian circuit, could not manage more than an eighth place in race 3, while Hugh Barter (AUS – Campos Racing) was on the second step of the podium three times, reducing his disadvantage to just two points from the MP Motorsport driver. Tsolov’s three wins, however, were not easy, with Barter, Rinicella, Smal and De Haan giving the overall leader a hard time. In race 1 it was Valerio Rinicella (ITA – MP Motorsport) who took the third step of the podium after a good battle with the top two and his team-mate Kirill Smal (KGZ – MP Motorsport), who was third in the second race with Rinicella behind him. In race 3, however, it was Robert De Haan (NDL – Moulan Motorsport) who took the third step on the podium. Important points also for Georg Kelstrup (DNK – Campos Racing) who with two fifths and a fourth place maintains fourth place in the overall standings ahead of Kirill Smal.
As many as 31 Tatuus F4 T421 powered by the 180 bhp Abarth T-Jet 1.4 engine that tackled the ups and downs of the Belgian circuit, once again demonstrating excellent performance both on the lap and over the entire duration of the race and excellent reliability. After the summer break, the F4 Spanish Championship will be back on track on 3 and 4 September at the Motorland Aragon circuit before the final rush that includes the races in Navarra (1 – 2 October) and Barcelona (12 -13 November).
Nikola Tsolov said: “Another unbelievable weekend with a lot of fighting and difficulties with finding the right setup, but me and the team managed to do another 3/3 wins in my favourite track Spa-Francorchamps. Now I’m fully focused on the next one”.
