Double top for Trident in Red Bull Ring GP3

Race 1

27 - LUCA GHIOTTO

Luca's weekend started in the best possible way since practice and continued with a pole position. At the start of Race 1 he got a quick getaway although not sufficient to retain the lead, and he found himself chasing down Ocon. After a few laps, his determination and skills enabled him to go on the attack and cruise past his rival. He then increased his margin  lap by lap, ending with more than 10 seconds on his closest rival.

His Colombian team-mate had some issues during practice and qualifying and had to settle for the 17th place. He started off well and managed to clinch the midpack, improving straight away up to the 13th position. He continued in his bold performance with many moves and a great pace. In the end, Oscar was able to take 9th, scoring his first points in GP3 and displaying his skills aboard his Trident-prepared car.

Artur Janosz was much less lucky in Race 1 at Spielberg. The Pole, who had found great chemistry with his car during qualifying, was hoping to bring home a good result. After a positive start though, Artur started to experience a weird rear end behaviour and came back to the pits. The mechanics found out that his rear wing was cracked due to a piece of debris lifted by one of the cars he had in front. Once back into the race, Janosz went off-track, puncturing a tire. He continued and crossed the line in 21st.

The Austrian weekend of the GP3 Series provided Trident with another phenomenal win today at Red Bull Ring. Following to a positive comeback yesterday, Colombian Oscar Tunjo was able to capture his maiden victory in the series. Team-mates Luca Ghiotto and Artur Janosz also performed well too with the Italian ending the Sprint Race in 4th place and the Polish racer finishing 11th, just outside the top-10.28 - OSCAR TUNJO

Oscar cruised a really deserved first GP3 Series win. After taking-off from the 9th place on the grid, he started an aggressive recovery and just after a few laps he was already on the same pace of the frontrunners. He was then able to pull several moves without a single mistake. Lap after lap, he improved his position and finally grabbed a lead he would never relinquish, crossing the line more than 2 seconds in front his closest follower.

After winning Race 1, Luca was starting in 8th place and was off to a perfect start, immediately climbing up to a potential podium position and staying in the hunt on his way to the checkered flag. Unfortunately, the tire wear in the second part of the race made him suffer a little, but he was eventually able to overcome the issues and end the day in 4th. By doing so, he grabbed more valuable points helping him to retain the GP3 Series championship lead.

Final Position: P4 Starting Position: P826 - ARTUR JANOSZ

Artur, who had been really unlucky in race 1, was able to take full advantage of his car's potential. After lining-up in 21st place, the Polish rookie completed a fabulous recovery, successfully overtaking many of his rivals and climbing up to the 11th position. The team is sure that he will soon be able to make it to the points zone.
