“It’s going to be very
busy at Brands with the DTM, there will be a lot of
people there and it’s going to be great being part of
such a huge race meeting – I’m really looking forward to
it. Leading the championship after the first weekend
was the most I could ask for, it would have been nice to
win a race but it’s the championship that’s the
important thing.”
Originally expected to
race in a different series this year, Seb didn’t have
any true testing and preparation in Formula 4 but still
hit the ground running at the season-opener, taking 3
podium finishes and a fastest lap, to lead the
championship by 2 points!
Carrying justifiable
confidence into Brands Hatch, Seb is determined to try
and increase his lead in the championship and battle for
his maiden F4 victory. On such a tight and twisty track
though, he knows qualifying will be the most important
part of the weekend.
“I am feeling pretty
confident for Brands, we just need to get the most out
of the tyres in qualifying which isn’t something we
managed to do at Silverstone – you only have a couple of
laps to get your best time on these Yokohamas and you
have to pick your laps wisely”, added Seb.
“It’s going to be
important to stay out of trouble in the races too, on
such a short track and with so few overtaking
opportunities people can try some optimistic moves. We
just need to do what we need to do and try and stay on
top of the championship.”
Qualifying for the
second F4 event of the season will take place on
Saturday, 18th May, at 12.00 with round four following
at 15.20. On Sunday, 19th May, rounds five and six are
provisionally scheduled for 14.15 and 16.40
respectively.
