F4 - Quinn returns to top step and Lundqvist doubles up in British Championship at Croft
Linus Lundqvist converted pole to victory at Croft in Round 13 of the F4 British Championship certified by FIA – powered by Ford EcoBoost. The Double R ace has been in fine form this weekend, topping every session in the run up to the opening race and he duly delivered to take his second win of the campaign.
Alex Quinn then made a welcome return to the top step of the podium after claiming his first win in the F4 British Championship certified by FIA - powered by Ford EcoBoost since September last year. The Cornish racer led home a superb TRS Arden one-two finish with Oscar Piastri in second. There was further cause for celebration for the Banbury outfit as Olli Caldwell, who became the youngest ever F4 driver having celebrated his 15th birthday just hours before his first race, scored points on his maiden outing.
In the final race of the weekend it was form man Linus Lundqvist who followed up with his flawless wet weather win yesterday with an equally dominant performance in the dry from pole position. The Double R ace has been in a league of his own at times this weekend, topping FP1, FP2, claiming a double pole position and converting both into victories. A near-perfect weekend which has reignited his title bid before the summer break and propelled him to third in the standings behind championship leader Jamie Caroline and Piastri.
