James Wharton's remarkable run in the UAE Formula 4 Championship continues. The Australian driver from the Ferrari Driver Academy was the best performer at the third meeting of the season in Kuwait, with two pole position starts, one win and two 2nd places! With nine races out of a total of 15, James Wharton is now 2nd in the overall standings, having significantly reduced the gap to the leader.
For more than a week, with two consecutive races held on the same circuit, the Kuwait Motor Town complex has been buzzing with the exploits of the UAE F4 Championship drivers and in particular James Wharton, who has consistently confirmed his competitiveness on this fast track where strategy has played a big part. "Each of the three races was incredibly difficult to manage, even starting from the front row each time," said James. "It was very foggy for Race 1 and sand had settled on the circuit, making the car difficult to drive. We also had several safety car periods. At each restart, the drivers behind me could take advantage of my slipstreaming. But in the end, it was an excellent meeting, both in terms of performance and points scored. I was the only one to finish on the podium in every race. I stayed focused on my objectives and I tried not to make any mistakes. This consistency didn't stop me from being fast, as shown by my two pole position starts, the fastest lap in Race 1 and the win in Race 3. We have clearly been working in the right direction with the Mumbai Falcons Racing team. We will need to continue to perform well and keep our heads in the next few races."
