FM ROUND 13 BULLETIN – BRANDS HATCH

Jérôme D’Ambrosio rose above the fierce battle for podium places in this afternoon’s Formula Master (FM) race at Brands Hatch, leading the race from the start.

The result gives the Cram Competition driver a practically unassailable points lead, although today’s fourth-place finisher Chris van der Drift still has a slim mathematical chance of taking the title.

Van der Drift, who drives for J.D. Motorsport, is 30 points adrift in second place with two wins this season. D’Ambrosio has four wins so would need to score no points in the remaining three races to forfeit the inaugural title.

Jérôme D’Ambrosio, Cram Competition

“It could be fantastic to win the championship here. You have to focus race by race and do your best, not think too much about points.

“The trick is to get better all the time. There is always ways to improve, even if you are leading. When you are on the limit you can still find some more. That’s what we’re doing as a team so well at the moment.”
