GP3 Trident Silverstone Race ‏2 recap

Antonio Fuoco had a phenomenal Sunday run for the Trident team at Silverstone one day after cruising to the podium in race 1. Lining-up for the Sprint Race from the sixth place on the grid, the young Italian cruised to an amazing win, his first in the GP3 Series. Fuoco, part of the Ferrari Driver Academy program, tamed the wet track conditions which eventually highlighted his control skills. To get to that point, he delivered several clean moves to take the lead in front of Alex Palou and fellow FDA driver Charles Leclerc. As a result, he consolidated his third place in standings.Polish racer Artur Janosz collected less than expected on Sunday, especially in comparison to what was achieved in race 1. After starting from the 9th position following to a penalty assessed to him on Saturday, put up a good pace. Unfortunately, an off-track exit cost him some positions and forced him to content with a 15th place.Giuliano Alesi had a much shorter day at the office. The Frenchman started from the 16th place with the goal of managing his car and tracking down the drivers he had in front to improve his position. Alesi could only complete two laps. The struggles in managing the wet track on slick tyres and a contact with Jake Hughes brought him off, providing an early end to his comeback hopes.Last but not least, Sandy Stuvik had a good start from the front row and even led the first two laps of the Sprint Race. The wet conditions and the difficulties in managing the car and tyres jeopardized his performance. Despite trying his best in terms of battling attitude, he lost ground to cross the line in 10th place.
